Is there a significant difference in driving experience between the 2.5 and 3.0? I'm planning to buy a used Viano and later get a towed RV. Will a 2.5 engine struggle with towing a trailer? Normally, the 2.5 should consume more fuel compared to the 3.0, but since the car often idles for 1-2 hours waiting for people, would the 2.5 be more fuel-efficient in this situation?

I bought a second-hand 2.5 for hauling, and the power is just terrible [tears]. It's comparable to the feeling of the old M271 low-power engine, but obviously, a small car and a truck feel different to drive. I'm just worried about blowing up the engine; it feels like the gear shifts only happen above 3000 RPM [picking nose].

You should go for the 3.5 or 3.0 version of this car. The 2.5 isn't fuel-efficient and lacks power. Plus, the engine wear over the years tends to be greater than with the 3.5.
