Best thing to do is get the car to match the van if you already have the van. Some good towcars have been named so far. The one I liked was the Skoda 2.5 tdi. I have exactly the same engine in my Audi A6. I did a long hill nearly 1 in 5 last weekend towing close to 1400kg. We flew up the hill . If you have a smaller van then you can go with a smaller towcar. Had quite a few good reports on the Mondeo 2.0 tdci

It is now according to the caravan club but it was the Subaru Forester.
I tow with a Nissan X- Trail 2.2 dCi and it woud wipe the floor with them both... never out of 6th gear when towing Ace Jubilee Equerry on dual carraigeway and motorway.
And returns 30+ MPG towing.
This months Caravan and camping magazine says vectras are a good buy for around £8000 and the list of toys you can get inside are good too,worth a look.
