Don't buy Ford is advice I've always heard - when I was just a child, I learned that FORD meant Fix Or Repair Daily. However - my current car is a Mercury Mystique - which, of course, is aFord product. I like the car a lot, and as far as paddling, even though it's a sedan, it has a trunk that takes everything I throw in it. Considering that my husband & I usually paddle together, that means everything both of us can throw in it. (And we both carry enough so that our British heavies are even heavier - trust me, nobody could carry either of those boats single-handedly). Also, it's not too high, in terms of getting the boats on & off the roof.
