Went with Smart

Really depends on what you want to do with your toad once you get to your destination and also, do you plan to use it for anything other than just a road.
For us, I wanted an extremely light vehicle that holds 2 ppl and a couple small dogs.
I wanted a toad because we can’t always bring our motorcycle. (We have a Cruiserlift system. Seemed last year, every time I brought our MC with us it rained, lol.
We didn’t need another vehicle at home but if we did, it would be a small commuter vehicle.
Lastly, I wanted an automatic transmission so my wife could drive (she hates manuals)
We landed on a 2010 Smart Car convertible. (Cheap to buy and lots on the market.)
I installed Blue Ox tow plate and Tow bar. (I also like RoadMaster but got a steal of a deal on Amazon for Blue Ox)
The car is about 1800lb and do not notice it behind us. It is short so turning is easy... plus, overall length of rig and toad is the shortest out there.
I could go on and on but those are a few things to consider.

Good luck on your hunt. Attached are a few pics.
