My 1.8 TDi Ford Focus tows my Standard Cirrus quite happily, and returns 38
MPG whilst doing it

have air conditioning, that "60+ mph" would make the trip seem like a

lifetime in Hell.

I crossed the alps more than once with comparable cars towing a single
seater. Admittedly not at 37°C and without air conditioner. And neither
at 100km/h, at least not uphill.

While a Peugeot 205 may be a little bit on the edge, any reasonably
modern car in the 2L class does the trick pretty comfortably, most even
with a two seater attached.
