Is this a good budget tow vehicle?

[lee_erm]

I'm in need of a solid towing car. It needs to be capable of towing a 1.5 ton twin axle Geneva Super Touring Excel 547 S Alpine Long. It also needs to carry my wife, four children, and our two German Sheppards. It would be nice to return reasonable MPG but obviously there are tradeoffs at my budget.

Now the car below looks to fit the bill, what do you guys think? Does anyone have any experience towing large loads in one?

Is that the wrong link, or are you trying to be funny?

2 adults, 4 children and 2 large dogs in one of those would be great fun, if slightly illegal.

We tend to put one dog in the camper.

Nope still can't work out if you are being serious or not. In case you are can you please check your link, the car in your link is a Citroen AX.

Sounds like you would be better off with one of these.

108,000 miles, only 1,000 of which were 'faultless'?
OP you'd be better off with a Renault 5 to be honest.

This looks like quite a good example of towing a large caravan with a fairly small car.
