Surely you can't be serious with that.... Towing with a 1.8L turbo 4 cylinder, whether highway or not, is much, much, much harder than city driving with anything, especially when towing over 2 tons up mountains regularly. Of the 32k miles I've put on it, at least 20k have been with vehicle in tow. Not to mention the 1000-1500 miles I've put on it going through mud pits, hydro-locking the engine, driving down gravel and dirt "roads" at 70+mph.
If you truly think the driving it sees is easier than most cars on the road, I want what you're on.
