Max towing weight is not what it can pull.
It’s what you can pull safely without the load affecting the safe performance of the towing vehicles safety devices like brakes.
I would not think the weight of the pug GTI would be upto towing much at all safely.

The biggest problem was front wheelspin when trying to pull it up the ramp out of the water. Stability at speed was not a problem however.
