I am considering a Jeep Wrangler > because you don't have to build a rack for it I don't think. Subaru Outback -- best all around car for kayakers. Low to the ground, so even us older types (all of us, I take it) can hoist even a British boat onto it. Plenty powerful, and 4WD for those ugly muddy roads (and yes, it does work). Excellent factory rack system. High ground clearance, more like that of an SUV. Comfortable, good on the highway, economical on gas. Even comes with NOAA weather radio band. And costs less than a Volkswagen.
