Midsize car for towing

I want to buy a new midsize car that can tow a small trailer. The trailer and load together weigh just 500 pounds. I use it on flat terrain. The car does not have to be "rated" for towing, but towing must not void the warranty. My old 2006 Corolla tows good, but new ones forbid towing. Any suggestions for a make or model that can do it?

there are a large number of small/midsized cars that have a 1000ish plus tow rating. to many to list.

Are you sure the toyota has no tow rating and not rated to be "flat towed" many car's can't be flat towed and usually that is called out specifically.

Five hundred pounds total seems very light. Are you sure?

The Ford Fusion has a 2000 lb rating if you get the 2.5 Ecoboost. The Subaru cars have decent towing.

Thanks!
