Trailer hitch on my GTI

There are Euro Hitches available for about $400 that mount behind the bumper plastic but I wasn't really into spending that kind of money. It detracts from the appearance of the car some but I don't care. It can tow my bike and that is gonna be huge.

I would like to know just how it does with towing.

I would like to get on for my Legacy, but I worry about the transmission.

Check with the dealer to see what the tow rating for your car is. Mine is tow rated to 2000lbs with this hitch because it's a class 1 hitch which is actually plenty to even tow 3 bikes on a light trailer. I'm interested to see how it feels with just the 1 bike. I'll report back in about a week when I go to pick my bike up from the shop.

meh it should be fine, I've seen all kinds of cars towing bikes, M3's, etc...Is that baby a 6spd or DSG?

6spd. I'd be more worried if it was DSG but I think it'd probably still be fine.
