I can't begin to count the number of posts to this forum from Harry Gordon and others on their successful towing with any number of small cars. Though I've come away from these testimonials a bit skeptical that these small cars would tow a P-15 with any degree of comfort.
With my Ford Explorer tow-car off to southern CA with daughter Jen, I finally took advantage of the receiver installed on my 1999 Miata by the previous owner to carry a bicycle rack. I attached a ball, and hooked up Lazy Ka for a trial run to Grand Street this morning. (The truth is, I somehow got my signals crossed, and though the sail was today.) I was amazed at how well the little Miata did the job. I am now a total convert . . .
