i wouldnt tow with anything less than a 1600, and then not towing a car that is bigger or heavier than the one you are towing with, i recently towed with a sierra 1.6 with a 2.0 mondeo on the back, not a brilliant idea as the mondeo is heavier, it towed and steered ok, but the sierra was under powered for the weight of the mondeo, but the journey home was mainly motorway, and i didnt try to break any speed records
