Daily Driver and Kayak Transport - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I drive a jeep commander and I use a kayak mount for the roof racks. I know the advantage of using a smaller car or a truck is that you don't have to lift you kayak above your head to get it on the car. I have seen little prius with an 18 foot kayak on top, so I don't think you'd have much issue. You might want to get one of those rooftop cargo boxes for some of your gear tho, if you don't have a lot of cargo space in the car.
