Whatever you decide on, roofbox.co.uk is a great site for info and deciding on needs, and if you go via the UKCS discount page, 5% off.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

We got the Kamei Delphin 380 from the RoofBox co back in June, very well made box and has the added security of embedded lid closure retainers.
You see so many roof box's that folk lash down with straps, so I can only think that those box's may have sprung open along the journey one time, either that or they are not confident with the closing mechanism.
The Kamei Husky XL is a good size, and you may get one of those within your budget, as they often appear in the returns/bargains section of the RoofBox co website.
I can only assume that some folk buy the Husky XL to find that it is to long for there car so can't open the tailgate hatch fully, such a box will be fine on a Passat Estate though

Tried to use roofbox.co.uk to buy an Atera bike rack, but they wouldn't match a German retailers price (£30 cheaper), so a UK based company lost out on a sale by £30.
I won't be using them again.

On our passat estate we have a Thule Atlantis .... opens either side, and locks onto roof bars via internal hand screwed knobs .... very quick and easy to mount/dismount.
Here's an equivalent for 120 quid ... bargain!
