Good car, good "toad"..and now only can buy them as used....maybe really inexpensive?
My first "toad" (in 2001) was a used 1996 Ford Contour...5 spd stick. Was a Mazda with a Ford badge. GREAT toad..., in 2007 went to Mazda to buy a new car to be used daily and as a toad....was told that one cannot tow a (newer) Mazda 4 down no matter what. That is why I did research and bought the HHR. No trailer, no dolly. Just 4 down. And....IMHO, that is best way to go. (My current 4-down "toad" is a 2011 Ford Ranger 4WD, automatic. )
g'luck!
