I am fortunate in my job that I have recently qualified for a new lease car with my employer. The list of cars available are however limited and the most suitable cars available for towing are the new Mondeo and Passat.
I am restricted to a 1.8 TDCi (125 bhp) Zetec or Edge model Mondeo (hatchback or estate) or a Passat 1.9 Tdi (105 bhp) BlueMotion (again hatchback or estate).
I am in a dilemma as to which car to go for. (horrible dilemma, I know!!)
I currently tow a van with an MTPLM of 1365kg and was wondering if the 1.8 engine in the Mondeo is sufficient to tow the van. I currently tow with a 54 plate Passat with no problems but I really like the look of the new Mondeo. We are away for around 4 weeks per year plus a number of weekends and in total this year have towed around 2,000 miles (France included).
Any existing Mondeo or Passat drivers out there who can help sway me either way as to resolving my dilemma?
