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.
