Towing a small sports car behind a Class C

I guess you could look at some of the other small cars. we have a hyundai and it is working out well. It is an elantra but they do offer a sporty velociter and there are tiburons and others out there if you were wanting used vs new. Looked at versa, requires 500 mile stop and run and is pretty basic. ours just hook and go with a 6 speed manual trans.

I must have missed something, but just when did a CRV or even a smart car become a " 'manual shift' sports car like a boxter, or BMW" about which the OP was asking?

You can do something like this with car of your choice. Small single axle trailer. Fits mostly under rear of motorhome for storage.



Smart cars are kinda fun. Handle well, convertible, manual with paddle shifters (sorry no clutch pedal). Lots of high performance stuff avaialable aftermarket from smart madness.

I'll say it again about any toad, whether it be a sports car or other. It should also be an every day driver or a toy that you're going to own regardless. I just can't see buying an extra car for towing only. I mean, there's plenty of other ways to throw money away, no matter how much you have of the stuff.
Meanwhile, our OP should have a list of sports cars that will fit the bill by now and hopefully, one of them will be to his liking, so the winner is......:@

I was being a smart aleck. smart cars DO have a 5-speed manual transmission with a single stage clutch. They don't have a clutch pedal because the computer does the shifting. You can override the computer with the floor shifter or the paddle shifters. If you stomp in the gas and leave the pedal on the floor you can have a head-banging good time from zero to 60 as the tranny bangs through each gear.

You must have missed where I wrote "sporty -ish". :W

New to the RV world, loving it, but I'm a little concerned about what the right tow vehicle is for my Greyhawk Class C. Hubby drives a stick, I never have.

Is there such a beast with an automatic tranny that can be towed 4 down behind my RV?

There's a lot of them and we think we have the best of all worlds in ours, so do some studying here and pick one out, keeping in mind it's weight and the GCWR of your coach, although you don't have to be too picky over a few pounds or so... Dinghy Guide

Thanks for all the input. Very enlightening.
We may just tow our honda civic on a dolly and forget about the sports car for now.

Now to go shopping for the Class C.

then again...my owners manual doesnt have a "recreational towing " section...2004 honda civic...and from reading other parts of the manual I dont think they recccomend it.....but thats the car I have..so I may delve(dont you love words that say exactly what your doing? further with a honda dealer....
