Hi Guys

we are looking to change our santa fe for the 08ish plate avensis estate,it will used mainly for towing our large caravan, and canoeing trips.What would be the most economical? is the extra cost for 180 model worth it,and is there anything/faults.regards i should look for when buying

I tow a Peninne Folding Camper (1000Kg) with my T180 with ease.

I`m returning 30-32mpg absolutely fully laden, towing and with 4 X adults - I`m happy with that. The low down torque/puling pwer of this engine is ideal.

I have a T180, 2007 and it gives me 44 - 46MPG. I don't get stuck in traffic often so its pretty much flowing. Mainly use the car on A roads and Motorways.

Ok, around town stop/start average speed 19mph (Winter 34mpg, Summer 39mpg)

Motorway economy run 48-51mpg

Mixed A Road Motorway 44mpg

Towing fully laden 30-32mpg
