Default Decent tow car for track car

Right I'm wanting a track car so need a suitable car capable of towing a car trailer.

The car I have at the mo, if i decide to track it, will weigh circa 1150kgs once stripped down (Impreza) and I'm using, as a guide, 500kg unladen weight for the trailer.

So car requirements,

Needs a minimum towing capacity of 1700kgs

Its going to be a daily so needs to be nice to drive etc.

Would be advantageous to have 7 seats though not essential.

Ideally needs to do as near to 40mpg as possible when not towing.

NO 4x4s and no vans ,pick ups, autos or BMWs!

Under £5k

I'm sure this will be difficult but any suggestions gratefully received.

If this becomes a problem then I'll be chopping in the Impreza for a sub 1000kg FWD Ford instead and will be able to use a TDi Touran as I'd hoped (Not enough tow capacity for my Impreza )
