Passat tow car
Help needed
i currently have a 2.0 Tdci VW Touran pulling an Abbey 418 GTS. They have been a great outfit but now looking to change car. Due to company policy, I am faced with three options:
1.6 Touran 105 HP.
1.6 Zafira Tourer 136 HP
1.6 Passat 120 HP
obviously all are TDI
The Touran is out as not enough power. The Zafira is a great match according to usual tow match websites but I am far from enthralled. The Passat is a great car but weight ratio is 97%. Again the web says match is ok but not great. Incidentally the 2.0 Passat
is tow car of the year and not much heavier. I guess this is down to torque.
So here us the question. Does anyone have a 1.6 Passat with a larger van (1273 kg un laden,1450 max) and how does it perform
all advice greatly received.
