We have a nice 2007 Miata but I tow it on a PJ car trailer, a 16' model.
It's much easier to back up when the time comes and as the Miata sits so low to the ground I would really be worried about rock/debris damage to the car and windshield so low to the ground.
I must admit that I have only towed 4 down with one car. That was at the time a new Toyota Corolla with a manual transmission in 2008. But of course that is not all there is too it. I had to have the plate mounted that involved welding and such and buy a brake unit for the car and such. I would bet that I spent close to $2000 setting that car up and it was almost impossible to back up if I had to. Also note that I ran into a number of people that seemed to have unusual front end alignment issues towing 4 down, not sure why?
I gave $3000 for my PJ car hauler and it's rated for nearly twice the weight of my Miata. It loads and unloads quickly and it's up off the road And there is little to no wear and tear on my car or the suspension.
HealyMan~nice ride ride. I had a '66~loved it. Had so many sports cars over the years. I guess you could say I am hooked!
