OK Guys just a general question here.

How do you find towing (in my case a Caravan) with the Austral????

I'm finding it "bothersome"... all the literature says it'll tow "comfortably" 1520kg ...my Caravan is around the 1420kg mark.
I still get a "boot up the backside" from the caravan though if I hit an uneven road surface. Never did I feel anything like that in my old Laguna!!!

Also my "range to empty" drops like a bloody stone as soon as I set off with the Caravan hitched up to the car .... set off this morning from Kendal range on hitch up 460....drove 35 miles back home to the Fylde Coast ..range on arrival 255 !!!!!

How do you guys rate your towing experiences & the fuel consumption with the Austral ??
