Possible return to subaru for towing a caravan.

[Mdon]

Hello,

 

I’ve have a couple of Subarus, a forrester and an outback diesel. 
 

the outback I ran for 30,000 and it never puts foot wrong, it was a brilliant car. 
 

I’ve now had a Volvo V70 on a 14 plate for the last almost 4 years. It’s also been an awesome car for the last 60,000 miles however it is getting old now and is currently on 93k. So I’m looking to maybe replace it.
 

A couple of my options are a 2015 diesel euro 6 outback with 38k with 7 speed auto, or a petrol outback.  
 

I also tow a caravan with the Volvo so the Subaru would have to tow a 1.5t van. 
 

anyone have any experience towing with a outback? What’s the auto box like for towing? 
 

and what’s spare parts for the diesel like? I know they’ve not produced them for the last 7 years so I’m wondering if spares are becoming an issue? 
 

cheers.
