Many years ago, I towed my Jantar 1 in its giant steel and wooden trailer behind a 1.6 liter VW Golf. I did it once!

Lessons I learned:

1) Front-wheel drive vehicles are least suited to towing as they have less rear-end weight and suspension that's not always heavy duty.

2) A tow vehicle that's at least as heavy as the trailer

3) Preferably rear-wheel or all-wheel drive

With the above in mind, the Honda Civic has a curb weight of at least 2,500 pounds and plenty of power and should work if you are careful. I would limit your top speed and avoid the steepest routes. As others have noted, Civics and similar-sized vehicles are used for trailer towing in Europe and other parts of the world.
