Friends don't let friends buy VWs.
My dad's had his '04 Passat V6 since '06 and the biggest repair was probably a torn CV boot. Although, apparently Tiptronic was a bad choice, as the transmission hates its life right now. Another reason to buy manual. I stand by my assertion that anyone can learn a manual in about half an hour, especially with modern vehicles.

Maybe a Prius C would be a decent choice, though I don't know if it can tow. Most mid-size cars can probably tow half a ton if the trailer is balanced properly.

Unfortunately, we really don't get wagons here anymore. Has she tried out a Scion xB?
