[Paddlewise] sea kayaking cars

I consider my '91 Honda Civic Hatchback SI to be the ultimate sea kayaking
car.
Low roof makes it easy to load boats. It's held four for a shuttle. Packed
it with 2 kayaks and gear and food and water for 2 people for three weeks
in Baja. Great mileage. Fun to drive.
Only drawback is that when the hatch is up it bumps the kayaks on the roof.
