I'm thinking go getting a Mk5 GTi DSG but would need it to tow a 4 wheel trailer with a light car on it. The weight of car and trailer is about 1000kg so well within the official limits of the Golf but I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has done it for real. I currently use a 07 Jetta Tdi DSG which is obviously the same car underneath (though I'm not sure if the wheelbase is the same) and is great but the Golf looks so much shorter!
I'd also be interested to know what the mpg might be towing a trailer as well! No where near the Jetta's 35-40mpg I guess!!
Thanks for any help.
