406 towing

Used my Dad`s 406 est HDI 110 this weekend to tow our caravan for a breakaway as my Xantia is still off the road.Mine is a great tow car,allthough it could do with a bit more than its 115bhp.
But the 406,WOW![:D]
Much faster than the Xantia,so much power.Wouldn`t know the `van was on the back most off the time[:I].Missed the suspension of the Xantia though.
I`m hopefully going to by the 406 in 18 mths time off his company for a cut price.It will have about 70k on it by then.
But now i`m thinking of finding a Xantia est HDI 110 instead!Then have the power boostede on that[}:)].
I`ve got the 406 for 3 weeks at the end of this month while they go on holiday(with his fuel card[:D])so we have plenty of trips booked away then.[:)]

The 406 is heavier than your Xantia, and only has 110 BHP so how is the 406 faster and how does it have "so much power" ? How did you decide that your Xant had 115 bhp? Has it been dyno'd?
