I suppose it COULD be a chick's car but it is nothing at all like a miata.... I'm 6'4" and if I move the seat all the way back I can't push the clutch all the way in... I wear a miata like pants 2 sizes too small.
Actually I would have no problem with towing a V behind it if I had the European factory hitch (costs over $1000 to get imported) but this one (much less moneys) bolts through the sheet metal and I don't want to end up tearing the car up from metal fatigue.
Das auto is VW ... BMW is "the ultimate driving machine"
I used to laugh too till I drove one.... I've been hooked ever since.... I've had much faster cars in the past but there's something to be said for a car that makes you giggle a little every time you drive it.
Yeah it does have independent suspension but as light as I'll be towing I think it'll be fine..
BMW USA rates em to tow 0 lbs but BMW in Europe rates em at @3750 lbs (with trailer brakes) but only 165 lbs tongue weight ( I assume because of the IRS)
