A4 is quite appealing, but they can look pretty bland...

In a bit of a dilema.... dont want to spend much, but dont want a bucket

A4 TDi
Xantia TD (very cheap, but mining)
Vectra TD

or an old cav TD..... but i hate cavs

you shouldnt really tow a car trailer with a car unless its very heavy. something like a pajero or an early isuzu trooper would be best IMO.
Make sure that the total laden weight of the trailer is no more than around 75% of the weight of the tow car.

The weight is important - with a car you may find its a case of the tail wagging the dog which is never fun!

Kolling says he will sell you his impreza to tow your bucket

Also if you get an auto (which most pajeros are) get an aditional oil cooler fitted so it doesn't kill the gearbox
