    Help with choosing a tow car

    I was just looking to update our car, and can't decide between the volvo xc70 awd automatic diesel and the Audi a6 avant 2.0 tdi s line ultra s tronic. It will be used for towing a 4 berth, single axle caravan, but will also be an every day car. Taking all the following into account, running...

    How much does towing a caravan effect your MPG?

It has also given me loads of trouble lately and I'm therefore looking for a new car. I'm primarily looking for a station wagon that...
