When this one dies I will look for a later model possibly an AWD as it will be more suited to towing than the FWD is.
do you use yours for towing? what mpg you getting?

I've got one and I was thinking about sticking a towbar on it for towing the racing car but have not bothered to do so yet as thought it would be down into single figure mpg for towing??
