My wife thinks of the Metro as you do, but it's really a nice little car. It's noisy, yes, and its shape makes it jump around when trucks pass at 80 mph, but it's a fine little commuter car, and it carries one kayak just fine using foam blocks. Our other car is a Honda Accord, and with the racks on it, it has carried three kayaks at a time at 70 mph. The ideal shuttle vehicle, in my view, looks a lot like whatever I've got that I can tie a kayak onto.
