Can you recommend a replacement for my Volvo S60 2002? We have had a really good run with it, but think it is time to replace as the mileage & age are increasing, as are ours. It needs to be able to tow a 4.5m fibreglass boat, be reasonably economical & have good comfort on a trip (we don't do many long trips tho'). Probably 2litre minimum, or diesel. I am thinking of spending maybe $15,000. Thanks

Hi there,
There are quite a lot of possibilities around this price range.
Here are a few I found that will tow around 1500-2000kg.
2007 Nissan X-trail, Diesel 1350kg, Petrol 2000kg.
2007 Mitsubishi Outlander 1500kg
Subaru forester 2008 Petrol 1400kg
Toyota Rav4 2008 Diesel 2000kg
Mazda Atenza/ Mazda6 2009-2012 1500kg
2010 Subaru Legacy 1800kg petrol, 1500kg Diesel
It all depends of SUV vs Sedan or wagon. All are around the 15k mark.
