I have a big problem with trailers behind a
fun to drive car:  one can forget it's there.

It doesn't help that the seat has rib-hugging
side bolsters, the steering wheel is nicely
weighted, and the gear shift is short and
crisp.  With all that tactile feedback,
you sometimes forget you're driving a
vehicle with the dynamics of a drunken
hippopotamus.

This happened to me.  I had a small
motorcycle trailer, and a Honda roadrace
bike.  The combined weight is probably
about 500 lbs.  The tow vehicle was an
'83 VW GTI.  Duh!
