No experience with the Fiat, except long ago when it was a "Fix It Again Tony" car. I am sure they have gotten better since then. You might consider a Honda Fit, also at slightly over 2500 pounds (I think they are listed at 2559). If you were to get a pre 2014 model without the CVT transmission, the auto transmission model (as well as the standard) can be towed 4 wheels down up to 60 mph for 8 hours without running the engine again to re-lube the transmission. We have towed a 2013 auto transmission Fit for about 5000 miles and are very happy with it. You might finally have to use 2nd gear on highway 101 though!
