    Definitely. Extra storage is always good, I keep chemicals up in my roof box which would smell if they were inside the car.

    They're only awkward if your vehicle is high. I keep a foldable stool in mine so I can step up and load it.

    Capacity is down to your budget. Halfords are doing 50% off at the moment, there's a 250 Litre which would be a small car boot size for 119 Euro, or you can go up to 500 litres which would be a large boot. I hate recommending Halfords for anything, but for roof boxes, they're cheap.

    Doesn't seem to affect my handling too much, no extra buffeting in the wind. Probably affects fuel economy - not the shape or size of it, but the extra weight of whats in it.
