Hi All,
We're just getting back into caravanning after a few years away, and need to swap to a better towcar.
We're pretty much decided that the Kia Sportage is the way we want to go but.....can't decide on petrol v diesel.
We have Swift Alpine 2, MTPLM 1218, and there will just be the two of us.
Kerbweight and max tow are OK on all of the Sportages, so it just comes down to engine.
Petrol 1.6Gdi 130bhp, 120lb/ft torque
Deisel 1.7 CRDi 2, 114bhp, 207lb/ft torque.
Towing will be odd weekends and a couple of longer weeks away, UK only.
We retire in 3 years, but until then the car will be getting me to work and back every day, 15 mile round trip.
Your experiences/advice/comments would be very much appreciated on this.
