Thanks for posting what the XXL would look like on a small sedan. - Not that it probably matters too much but it looks like you have your evo bars installed facing backwards. (Might make sense to reverse them if you happen to have whirring or whistling at higher speeds, if not for thatl; might also improve mpg by a fractional amount)
I live in an apartment on the third floor so I just leave it on! It does add a little bit of wind resistance so when I’ve taken long road trips and not needed the storage I’ve taken it off. But it is so aerodynamic it doesn’t really matter much for me either way.
@@ImagineGTAVI yeah i think less than a naked roof. but it seems like it's quieter with a box on not just the bars, and perhaps more efficient than just bars. but i'm not smart enough to calculate all the differences.
Confident it will fit on my Audi A6 saloon now so bought one .. cheers
Your roof rails are installed backwards…..
Your crossbar is on backwards :)
lol that's huge. it's like a coffin size man 2:21
HAHAHA i called that thing the coffin.

I realized this after filming haha. Thanks for letting me know though! They're so much quieter when facing the correct direction. Cheers.
Just ordered a XL and that XXL doesn’t even look that big on your Civic. Thanks for the vid.
Dude for real! I thought it would look ridiculous but honestly it's not bad!
If you watch some of the tutorials on this box it shows the ratchet clicking mechanism for tightening the knobs to make sure it's fully tightened.
thanks!
I read a lot of reviews saying that the key breaks off in the lock, have you had any problems like that?
It is sometimes a little hard to get the key into the lock, but so far it's been strong!
Got a 05 civic been thinking about getting one. Can you leave it attached permanently or do you have to take it down every now & again.

@@philheiden Thanks.
How did you buy this? Some kind of auction?
Yep! Fast Track auction.
how and where and how much did you purchase it from?
bidFTA auction website! got it for 270, msrp is 830
@@philheiden cool
How much mpg does it decreases?
honestly i’m not sure. i think i got worse mpg driving cross country with my bike strapped onto my old bike rack on the rear, bc of the drag.
Lol, greatest cargo carrier on a Civic Hybrid. If only it was rear-opening, because those are more waterproof.
oh interesting. i haven't had any issues with leakage but that would make sense if the front doesn't open then it would be even safer!
How much u got it for
I thought this was a Thule Motion review I saw more of your hair then the cargo carrier
thanks for watching my hair goals vid! 😝
Did you notice any difference in fuel economy?
sadly i didn't keep perfect records, but yes it seemed to reduce the MPG efficiency slightly. maybe 2-3 mpg less efficient.
@@philheidenwow, maybe I'll buy a cargo carrier too, but it'll be less efficient I bet

Great review bro. Hope you do a follow up after a long road trip.
Thank you so much man! That's a great idea. Hope to take a road trip soon!
What are the length of your cross bars?
150 i believe
@@philheiden that doesn't sound right. Maybe 50 inches?
@@300zVinh pretty sure he meant 150 cm version of the Wingbar. The 150 is Thule's longest one.
All I wanted was to see it on the car- but the whole video was you in the car? Boo!
lol good one. watch the video and you'll see everything you've ever dreamed of!
