cant give much detail on the actual car itself,but the engines are bombproof,considering how many are about,but obviously there always be the oddone.we pull about 1300kgs with a fiat stilo 140jtd,which is the same fiat engine as saab and vauxhall use.up to now been great.60mph=1800rpm,38mpg pulling van.very rarely come out of top gear on motorway.
