Not a sedan version, but our Chevy Sonic is a piece of cake to tow.

Sure, several possibilities. Among the newer models: Chevy Malibu and Ford Fiesta/Focus/Fusion/Taurus

Going back some years, many Saturns and Hondas were towable.

See the Motorhome Magazine Dinghy Tow guides at http://www.motorhome.com/download-dinghy-guides/

We just bought a Sonic to use as a toad. Do you tow yours four down or do you use a dolly. I'm concerned with the dolly ramps hitting the bottom of the short wheel base Sonic on uneven terrain. Any thoughts?

We towed a 2013 Buick Verano on a dolly for one season. It has a low profile and front air dam that hit the ramp unless I placed a short 2x8 plank crosswise in front of each ramp to help ease it on at a lower angle. The extra height allowed to to squeak by. A 2x8 is actually 1.5" tall and 7.25" wide, so basically I was extending the ramp by 7.25" at a zero degree angle. The front wheels of the car climbed onto that platform, lifting the front enough so that the air dam didn't hit the ramp ahead.
