Hi All

Thanks for the further comments. I am all but convinced that a Subaru
XV is my next car - probably the 2 litre model since I will be stepping down from a 6 cylinder Camry. Except in certain circumstances I will probably leave
it in auto - nice to have the option of playing with the gearing though.

Oh - a further question: I see that the 2.0i has a towing capacity of 1200 kg. I will need to tow my boat which as an all up weight including gear/fuel etc of 675kg - presumably I would just need to fit a tow bar and trailer electrics adaptor and not have to have gearbox oil cooling etc?

Cheers Peter
