Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First this thing is big, which is good. I looked at shorter cargo boxes but realized I would not be able to use them to transport my cross country ski's in (I'm a 6'1" and 230# and need long skis). However if you have a smaller SUV/hatchback it might get in the way of your rear door so be sure to measure. For the record I have an old 2000 passat wagon and it fits great (trunk opens fine and it doesn't stick out over the front of the roof at all), however again it might not be the best choice if you have a smallish CUV.
The two sided loading functionality it great. It can be slightly difficult to close the box, you have to kind of slam it a bit to make sure it latches. Other than that no complaints. It offers great cargo capacity. I have a newborn on the way and between the baby/car seat, the stroller, by dogs (in the hatchback area), luggage, portable crib, etc., there just wasn't going to be enough room in the car. Now a lot of that stuff can go up top, freeing up valuable car space.
One thing I would recommend getting is a lift for your garage to store the thing on as it is huge. Thule makes one Thule 571 Roof Mount Cargo Box Storage Lift. Another option is getting a Racor lift Racor PHL-1R Pro HeavyLift 4-by-4-Foot Cable-Lifted Storage Rack. I have both and they are excellent products (I use the Thule to store the cargo box and the Racor alternates between storing the lawnmower in winter and the snow-blower in summer). A word of warning with the lifts, you do need to find ceiling studs. If your garage ceiling studs are irregularly spaced, you will have to rig something out of additional boards/plywood to safely install it. Shouldn't be a problem on any recently built home, but might be if you have an older garage that was built a bit oddly.
