Coupes can be tricky. Don't forget you have a bunch of gear to bring as well. I want to say there's a few guys who transport with a Prius here, similar in size.

What kayak are you looking at?

Thanks for the response. I was looking at the Malibu Xfactor or the OK trident.

I carry my trident 15 and 13 on Yakima racks on top of a Mazda 3 with no issues. I use a Malone saddle to hold the yak and it works great.

For inside the car, I just carry a couple of those Rubbermaid totes for all my wet gear and use a big insulated fish bag instead of a cooler to save space.
