Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We purchased this cargo bag to put on our Buick Enclave for a 3,000+ mile roadtrip around the US. Overall, highly recommend. **This is NOT a paid or subsidized review.[...] PROS * Installation: easy to install - not a lot of fussing with straps or re-situating. Recommend purchasing with mat (ROOF CARGO BAG PROTECTIVE MAT for Car Roof Storage Bags with EXTRA PADDING and GRIP Place the car roof mat under any rooftop cargo bag TOP UNIVERSAL ROOF RACK PAD for PROTECTION from Car Roof Racks * Really is WATERPROOF. We drove through driving rain, and as long as you follow the installation instructions and protect the zippered area with the covering flap, your stuff will be dry. * It holds A LOT. We fit 2 children's suitcases, 1 large duffle bag, a Pack-n-Play, and assorted other small bags in with no problem at all. It almost completely freed up the entire back of our car. * Quiet - no problem with road noise. CONS * Security - It's zippered closed with two pretty small zipper pulls, and they give you this tiny little lock to put through the zipper pulls, but it wouldn't be hard for someone to break into it, so we unloaded it each time we stopped for the night. Not a deal breaker, considering that this item is $60 and the hardshell ones are $600, but still a bit inconvienent. * Wear and Tear - After 3,000+ miles we did notice small tears starting to develop along the front edge of the carrier. It still has good life left, but if we did another big trip that'd probably be the end. Again, not bad for $60. * Car handling/gas mileage - May affect car's handling and gas mileage. When I was driving, it felt to me as though, particularly at high speeds or in high winds, the cartop carrier was affecting handling. This would be true of anything you put on top of your car, but maybe the sleeker hardtop carriers are more aerodynamic? Overall highly recommend. When this one wears out, we'll definitely get another. [...]
