Some very small trailers (limiting car size) don't seem to take up much more room than a dolly.

Regarding Honda CR-V, I had first generation and loved it. Great vehicle and perfect size for us (was not a toad). Newer CR-Vs have gotten bigger and heavier. Honda just came out with HR-V that is smaller than CR-V, and also comes with FWD 6-speed manual. I'm assuming the 6-speed manual is probably flat towable. Anyone seen data for the manual HR-V? I'm guessing the CVT auto version of the HR-V, like the CR-V, is not flat towable. The manual HR-V, on the other hand, may be a great choice.

The manual for the HRV is located here:

Owner's Manual | 2016 Honda HR-V | Honda Owners Site

The automatic can be towed with front wheels raised (dolly) and the manual can be flat towed with some additional actions required.
