Performance
The engine's performance is generally very good on flat roads (performance score to compare 267 points).
Speeds of 83 mph (134 km/h) to 88 mph (142 km/h) are often quite possible.
There is a lot of power at low engine speeds (score to compare 352 points).
Higher revs (1600 rpm) are usually not necessary on flat roads, under most circumstances.
Acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) is theoretically possible in 17.1 sec.
In the mountains the performance is generally very good (score to compare 306 points).
No problems are to be expected on steep mountain roads. Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 18%.
On motorway inclines hardly any higher revs are needed.
A speed of 71 mph (115 km/h) is usually possible on most motorway inclines.
Weight
The towing limit of the Seat is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, a B driving license is enough.
Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 46%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 54%.
The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
Recommended noseweight is 50 kg.
Stability and safety score to compare is 295 points.
If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.
Conclusion
Performance is very good.
Safe driving is possible.
It's a perfect match!
Influence of User Payload on stability
Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.
