The VW group MQB platform is I understand used on the VW Golf and ? Passat and the mark 3 Octavia estate. All these vehicles are of a similar size but why does the Octavia weigh 1272kg, the Golf 1436 and the Passat approxomately 1500 kg?
If you tow a caravan the weight of the caravan should be 85% of the vehicles weight - putting the Octavia at a disadvantage.
Any comments please ...and is the 1.6 diesel Octavia estate not recommended for towing ? There are vey few used 2.0 mark 3 estates on the market.
