Time to replace the Saturn
Well, our old Saturn is about to wear out. What cars can be towed four wheels down, besides a jeep? Thanks.

It has a 5-speed manual transmission but it does not have a clutch pedal. The car's computer does the shifting.
I have a friend that loves his Smart Car, unfortunately he has had less than desireable results from towing it. From memory, here is what happened. The electronic linkage to the transmission failed and damaged the transmission, which was replaced under warrantee. The dealer said that the vehicle was not designed to be towed 4 down for long distances? Soon after that the same issue developed again which damaged the transmission, and also the engine ($12,000). The dealer refused to repair it, but his insurance did take care of it, after several months of negotiation. I think that the insurance company recovered most of their loss from the dealer. He now tows the vehicle inside a utility trailer. All of the Smart Cars that we saw being towed in Europe were on trailers.
