Towing capability?
This is totally out of right feild but how effective would a WRX be to tow something? Say a light car and trailer? Is it possible or has it been done before? Just curious.

It should be able to pull a small utility trailer with no issues, however a trailer hitch would look horrible...

I can't complain

I see no problem pulling some dirt bikes or a jet ski but a car might start to push the limits

IIRC the tow capacity for a WRX is 2000 lbs. That's pretty much a little utility trailer, or maybe a dirt bike.
Towing another car is right out... not enough power/torque and you'd probably kill the clutch and gearbox. Most importantly, you'd have a BITCH of a time slowing down w/ another car pushing on you... hell, you'd probably get spun out by the trailer unless you were braking uphill.
