    I have one that I occasionally use on my wagon. I like it a lot. It's strong/tough for the price. Don't leave it on your car all the time unless you want to lose 2-3 mpg and get pushed all over the road by winter winds. It also drips rust since the inside of the tubing isn't painted & the threads will lose their paint. I just sealed mine up with a ton of electrical tape and hang it in the garage when not in use.

    I've had 2-300 lbs in it no problem.

    Have you considered etrailer.com? Also, the forester guys seem to enjoy the Rola brand.

    +1. That's where mine came from.

    If you look in my wagon thread you'll see mine in action, although probably empty after a big load of firewood.

    thanks. in some of the pics it looks too long for a '11 impreza 5 door. since you have one o you think it would work? might put a basket off for a while, but did order an inno fairing.

    That one photo is not the standard roof basket. It is definitely a lengthened version.
