Hi, l am looking to buy a 2 berth caravan just for myself. l have seen one that l like it is a Coachman Amara 380 as l quite like the end kitchen  The problem l have is it has a MTPLM of 1200kg so not sure what car to buy. I was looking at a Ford Focus 2
Ltr  but when l go on Towcar it looks like its not suitable. Can anyone recommend a car about that size which would be suitable to to this weight and also has good running costs. I know im asking a lot but l looked at the insurance on this car and the cheapest
quote fully comp with 9 years no claims was over £500 a year.  I used to drive a 09 Auris 2 Ltr would that be ok? Although l quite liked the idea of a focus. But if anyone could recommend any small car l would be grateful. Also l dont understand when they
say the Torque what does that mean?  I have towed before with my husband but sadly im alond now and would like to carry on.  By the way l am going to go on a towing course as well so l can learn all the important things.  Sue
