Totally agree with HappyGu, off tow or moderate towing on the flat our old 2002 Manual GU ZD30 was a rocket ship. Unfortunately did have to sell it as we live in a quite hilly area towing horses that need smooth take offs, slow corners and incline restarts. We were going to kill the poor thing especially its clutch so had to sell and increase in diesel motor size which doubled the price back then. Sounds like above from the blokes a big petrol donk would definitely suit your relatively low km needs.
