no, go for the 2.2 ltr manual. we have the estate version and it can tow a caravan weighing up to just over 1500kgs. it's a great car and quite economical (40+mpg solo, 28+mpg towing). on the estate version, there is a button in the boot, which lowers and raises the rear suspension, and it makes hitching up easier. the 2.0 version is good, but the 2.2 just has that little bit more pulling power.
