I keep forgetting I got a tow bar, so I could use that for the bikes and luggage (in a trailer).
The 8 is a really good tow car. I've used mine to tow allsorts from a Land Rover to a little camping trailer. It will also take away the risk of scratching the car while lifting bikes on the roof.
The only thing i will say is if you have or buy a little trailer they are a nightmare to reverse, the 8 is a wide car and the trailers arn't and if it's one of those camping type tralers you'll just not be able to see it.
Trailer storage the other end can be a pain too with regards to security, but i took the wheels and ball hitch off and threw them in the boot.
