Jeep Cherokee, great to tow, terrible mileage as driver.
Saturns are the easiest of all. Just put in neutral and drive away. Some Vue models may not be towable, according to a small used car shop that specialized in Saturns.
Honda Odyssey, up to 2012 I believe. Newer models are not towable. The 3 minute run through the gears before driving is a pain, but it's a comfortable, roomy, and economical driver. I have hauled a 2 trikes, an electric pusher trailer for a trike, and a mobility scooter inside, plus two kayaks on top of our 2008 Odyssey. Honda does not describe the Odyssey as towable after 2005, however the owner's manual has an "emergency flat tow" procedure that's exactly the same as the 2005 models RV towing instructions. I've towed ours for two years and 15k miles.
