I use to tow a 16' ski boat with a 75 hp motor. I had no problem with my 4 cyl, manual transmission, front wheel drive car. The trailer had tantem axles so there was no weight on the car. So in my opinion there wouldn't be a problem. Not sure how an automatic would fair.
Be sure you get a car the you WILL be able to put a hitch on. There are some cars that you can't.
