Hi Jon - I have a 03-C220CDi Elegance Auto and find that being a rear drive vehicle it tows my van OK. The Tiptronic Auto with cruise control allows me to travel at the allowed speeds without effort. Solo,I acheive up to 55mpg at speeds of 65mph. and towing i get around 32mpg.

the only real grumble I have is that I have little boot space.

I must add that my wife and I are retired and beleive that whilst towing about 3K miles towing we do over 7K solo and the car comes into its own then. regards
