Yep, unless you have an estate car, the Kamie Husky XXL at 200cm does need some careful consideration.
I did consider the Husky XXL purely on the basis, what will do more, will do less.
But in the end I went for the Kamei Delphin 380, which strangely is wider than the Husky XXL although the Delphin is just 158cm in length, also another concern for me was that I needed to keep the car's overall height to under 2m so that I could pass through the fast Tag Lane on the French autoroutes.
With the Delphin, the car height is just 1.97m the Husky XXL would have added 4cm.
Have a look at the photo in my gallery, the Delphin is mounted dead centre of the roof bars on the Mk6 Golf featured, this year the Delphin was used on the Mk7 Golf, which due to the different mount takes the height up by another 1cm or so.
All cars are different of course, and the roof mounts for the Golf, are quite well forward, so even with the Delphin there is some over hang at the front of the car, so I do think for me at least the Husky XXL may not have been a good choice.
