Hi Tony
I tow with a 08 Zafira 1.9cdti 150. My caravans mtplm is 1300kg and the zafiras max tow for the manual gearbox for the 150 is 1500kg. The max noseweight is 75kg.
It tows really well and stable. I have never had any probs getting stuck on wet pitches with it being front wheel drive but in the wet pulling away from junctions you do have to be carefull to not get wheel spin.
I have not had any probs with the car at all. You can also tow happily at 60 in 6 gear on fairly level motorway.
If you dont need the 6/7 seats then the boot is big, if you do need them like myself then there is not much space at all but then most cars are the same.
If you want any more info just ask.
Robin
