I've ordered a roofbox today, can't wait for it to arrive. Have been dithering for ages as even with Zafira we're packed to the roof and kids have to get in car 30 mins before departure so we can pack round them  Deciding factor is that we are meeting up with my non-driving in-laws this year so need somewhere to store all the stuff we keep in the boot as we'll have to have all 7 seven seats up. Fortunately, oh got some extra work to pay for it! Glad to see from others that I'm not going to regret it.

We got a Thule roof-bag - good deal on e-bay. Advantage is you don;t need to leave it on when on site - as it packs away nice and small.

I have a big Jeep with a roof box and it's still not enough, I think I should have got a Defender 110 with an expedition rack.
