Flat towing a Chevy Cavalier

[b-Bota]

I have a 2005 Chevy Caliver with automatic transmission that I would like to tow four wheels down. The owners manual says it's ok under 65 mph.
Is there anyone that has experience towing the Caliver, good or bad?

I've been towing my 2003 cavalier since 2004 with no problems. 15k towed miles. The only thing is the towbar attachment points are low to the ground so you will probably need a drop receiver to get the towbar close to level. Also because the car's nose is close to the ground you will probably need some kind of protection from road debris.

Thanks jrd48. Wasn't sure how the transmission would hold up. Do you run the car or do anything special for the automatic transmission at the end of a travel day?

Nothing special is needed or required.
