I know that's an issue with a lot of automatics, but I'm not so sure about manuals. If you've got the owner's manual for your car, a quick check in the section on towing ought to tell you whether your car can be safely towed any distance on all fours, or whether it should be flatbedded all the time. If the manual says it's safe with the drive wheels down, your car should be okay.
The manual for my wife's car says it's okay at low speeds for short distances, but considering the hills I like to coast, that's not an option - and they don't really tell you how slow is "low speed" or how long is a "short distance." I don't trust weasel words like that.
