HI, We are going to change our car this year and were wondering whether the Kia Sportage 1.6 TGDI AWD Petrol 174BHP, KB is 1604KG and the MBTW IS 1900KG, We have a abbey aventura 5 berth the MPLW is 1342 would the above vehicle tow this caravan or would the Skoda Kodiaq 1.5 tsi 148bhp with a MTW OF 1800KG BE BETTER.

Kind Regards

Welsh Phill

Then like my mate who bought a Discovery Sport you would probably had constant repair bills. I don't take risks either, I always consider the vehicles capabilities and mine and arrive at the correct decision, An adequate powered car in incapable hands can be more dangerous than an under powered car in the right hands as far as I am concerned.

I must be missing out. My Discovery Sport has not cost me a penny in repair bills. The one before that the same. And as for the Freelander before that apart from fuel servicing etc the only money I spent on that car in 5 yeas for a set of tyres.

Davetommo.......Sorry I got that wrong. my mates car is the Range Rover Sport. He bought it new and has cost him a fortune in repairs. He doesn't tow anything either.
