Now that's a tow car 

Not sure I like their DSG auto though

Must be one hell of a gearbox to handle that amount of torque. 

I avoided DSG when looking at my VW, due to potential issues.

I believe they're better now, but wasn't  keen on the DSG courtesy car i had a while back ...... I'd have to try another

I found they took some getting used to. To get smooth progress in traffic requires a different way of applying the power to a traditional slush box.

Jumping from the omega to the dsg yeti and back again takes a minute or two of adjustment.

Once on the move though I find them to be very very good. Pretty seamless gear changes, comparing like with like (7 speed dsg in the yeti vs 8 speed zf in the m140i) I couldn't say one was better than another, they were just a bit different.

Yeah can imagine with nearly 400  - Torque is king when it comes to towing, BHP matters little really. ....

A lad at work bought himself a VW Touareg V10 5 litre diseasal to tow his daughter's /wife's  horse box. It has 700 Nm  just is worse at passing a fuel stations than mine

My 5 pot (half of that V10) pulls like a train when towing,V10 must be mental(till its goes wrong )

Actually the Touareg is the only vehicle I've ever towed with where you can forget that its towing,2.5 ton kerbweight makes it super stable

I like that Holden Commodore in the advert. £10k not a lot of money.

Until this thread I was wondering about this Ebay advert:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Omega-front-bumper-2010-/222469497562?hash=item33cc3722da:g:It8AAOSwB-1Y6137

Now I know why they may think that bumper belongs to an Omega

Is it Opti?  Well I'm darned!!

Still listed as for an Omega so they don't know either!  It does look like the front end of a Commodore
