I've been towing for 11 years with a 1.4 mitsubishi colt coupe which was brilliant; a ford escourt estate 1.8 with no power steering, bloody awful; a vauxhall vectra estate, 1.8 (i think) very poor; and now I have this 1.9 4x4 Kangoo which tows brilliantly. I keep checking the mirror to check the trailer is still there! Trouble is it's a rogue car and once bitten...

I've been to a Peugeot dealer and have been recommended a brand new 307 hdi S 1.6 ltr. As they are giving me a good part ex on my Kangoo; I'm tempted but now think I should go for the 2.0. I've been told the 407's body is that much heavier and not much different from the 307. As this car is to last for 'ever' I don't want to make a mistake this time. The Kangoo looked and drove well when I test drove it but when I went to collect it from the dealer it had an odd clicking noise in the back end. I said it was the diff, the RAC post purchase check agreed, a local Renault dealer agreed, and 7 months later, with new transmission and 1,000's spent under warrenty, the dealer agreed with me! I'm sure it was cos I'm a woman and they think I know nothing!
