That being said, the Jeep is about 100 more a month to lease vs the civic si...

Towing is one of those things where your needs tend to grow over time.

You can definitely tow with a smaller car. It will be more enjoyable with a bigger, more tow-ready vehicle, especially if you're towing frequently.

fun vehicle. reliability is always a concern with Jeeps IMO.

it made Forbes "cars to avoid" list

and JD power gives it a 2.5 star rating for dependability:

you really can't go wrong with Subies. I like the new Crosstrek, the only downside is that it doesn't have a lot of power.

I think whatever i get right now i will be leasing so i am not too worried about reliability since it would be under warranty for the entire life of me owning the vehicle

Mazda CX-3, if you have them in the US? We just got them in Canada. A Nismo Juke? Frontiers are not horrible on gas, it is a truck after all.

A Civic SI could easily tow a 700 lbs jet ski/300 lbs trailer combo. Here in Texas everyone has trucks but I hate them. I just put hitches on my cars and have a small utility trailer. I've towed this trailer with my last three cars (12 Accord, 14 Accord, 15 Mustang).
