Checking to see if any of these cars could effectively haul a cat/trailer. This will be a disassembled cat, so the width of the trailer will be around 7 feet, not the 8'6" like the "normal" cat trailers.

I guestimate the trailer, cat, and equipment will be around 900-1000 lbs. max.

Here's the choices:

Chevy Aveo - 103hp - 107 ft. lbs. torque
Kia Rio - 110hp - 107 ft. lbs. torque
Toyota Yaris - 106hp - 103 ft. lbs. torque
Honda Fit - 109hp - 105 ft. lbs. torque

I don't expect to have any great acceleration or fuel economy, but it would appear there is enough horsepower to haul something like this..

Are there any other considerations for these vehicles? Enhanced engine/transmission cooling? Bigger brakes? Nitrous? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
