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.
