The twin axle I rented last week was 575kg. I asked the trailer place about towing KC (Fury) with my Leon Cupra and they assured me that it'd
cope. In practice the Cupra was a superb towing car - didn't even dent the economy.
I'd imagined with the Fury and trailer to be just over 1000kg combined it should be easy enough for the car.
Not perfect but this will give you some idea of what Astra can pull?
