Yeah, that's the problem. Must be automatic. Don't want to mess with manual.
Wish that Honda, Acura, and Toyota offered more vehicles with automatic that could flat tow. These all have great long term value with little maintenance. Have heard great things about the Acura ILX as far as resale value and great gas mileage (36 mpg hwy). Would have to have a trailer though.
May have to settle for a Jeep if I flat tow.
