Best estate for towing?

[JenniferS]

Hi,

We're looking to get rid of our Shogun Pinin for an estate instead. Can anyone recommend something suitable? It's for towing my Robinsons 200c trailer and my 15hh Welsh Cob who weighs approximately 600kg (we'd never be towing any other horse at the same time)
Looking for something at least 1.9l diesel engine, a good MPG and low insurance & tax. A rough budget of £6,500, any suggestions?

Thanks!

Oh definatly the Skoda Octavia Estate. It is absolutely amazing at towing and looks okay as well here it is http://www.bing.com/images/search?q...457CCD4FAB02FA3BF06794581&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR

It is very economical and a 1.9l will pull a lot of horse!! xx

forget the estate - you can pick up a really nice p38 rangerover for that. new shaped one but from P reg, get an auto 4.6 petrol - look for one already gas converted it'll be magic and easy to tow and reasonable on fuel - 4.4 and below have head gasket problems xx

I have just swapped my ford Fusion 1.4 for this rangy classic, this is a 3.9 V8 petrol ( gas converted) and does about 27/30 mpg cost wise on a really good run and about 20 when I have the trailer and horse on board - gas is about 78 - 83 p a L. have a look andif you want landy info - ping me later on xx
