small car for towing
Edit By:Care Cars
Q:hi i would appreciate some advice please am looking at purchasing a small engined car because of saving on tax and insurance possibly a Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 Auto (my wife can only drive auto) my question is would it be ok to tow a camping trailer (trailer 5ft x 4ft) with an engine of that size comtably. the trailer is fairly light to begin with as im able to stand it up on its end for storage. any advise would be greatly appreciated
A:empty trailer would be fine but how much weight are you going to put in it?
Random Tip:The Best Car Maintenance Guide.
A:If it's a camping trailer and, you're going to use it for going camping I wouldn't think you'd have a problem with it.
A:The recommended weight for a caravan would be 80% of the towing vehicles weight.
So I would suggest you shouldn't exceed that figure.
Hope this helps.

A:That car will be fine for that load. Look for a car in the 35/year tax bracket. Like my 1.4 diesel fiesta That has plenty of oomph too.
A:I wouldn't go to that length, IMHO it's not needed and it probably would be quite dear.
