I assume it is an auto? My Uncle towed a Jetta behind his motor home all over North America. You will need a manual trans no matter what kind of car you get. Also I would trailer a nice car if you plan on doing any distance. He bought the Jetta just for this purpose because his A6 is awd and cannot be towed.

He never had a problem, he is going up to Alaska this year with it. He said you really don't feel it back their, but I would imagin a 500hp CAT diesel wouldn't be botherd by a Jetta.
