Anybody got any suggestions please? Needs to carry 4 adults 2 biggish dogs and a bit of luggage and be able to tow about 2ton - maximum plated weight of current caravan is 1750kg.
Needs to be not ruinously expensive to run please. Have just lost faith in our Maverick now

P2 V70 all day long. Mine did 35mpg fully loaded with a caravan you barely knew was on the back.

For what we needed it for it for, a uni shuttle, it was a fine car. Not being a sensitive flower like you I'm not really bothered about what it may or not have said about me.
It was a 2007 mk2 so didn't scream council estate poverty if that's what you're getting at.

E Class estate , the biggest estate you’ve been able to buy since the 940/60 went out of production and they’ve all got self levelling or air suspension on the back. Cheap to run because there’s loads of cheap pattern parts available . A 4 cylinder diesel is probably the best compromise , but the 5 pot and V6 diesels ( depending on age budget ) would no doubt pull like Gordon The Big Engine.
