    Wouldn't want to risk it. Admittedly engines are more powerful now than in the past, but some years ago ended up with a courtesy 2l petrol C-RV to replace a 2l diesel Toyota tugging a 1000kg van - worked, but much less power.

    Don't forget also to take into account the weight of the tug itself - just guessing, but would think a c-RV is heavier than a standard car. Decided to have a look at the new Civic Tourer myself - the 1.8 V-tec petrol, currently pulling 1250kg with a 2l diesel.
