Best box is thule and bars from anyone

There is a place on here that advertises thats cheapish

I have a Ford Focus estate and use a large volume roof box which is long but low which is useful as I can get the car in the garage with the roof box on so I can load up the night before if neeed be and have the car secured with all equipment kept safe plus if you go to any car parks with height restrictions I can assure that access is guaranteed. It's amazing just how much stuff you can pack in it as the height is quite deceiving as it will accommodate any large holdall for clothes or equipment etc. The Autoform has a lift up lid that is operated by gas struts and operates a 3 lock mechanism with just one handy key. Although they don't come cheap, mine cost £240 back in 1998 but they are a good investment if you intend to keep it as I have done. All you need to do is change the roof bars when you change the vehicle (if the fitment is different). I have had mine for 14 years and is still in excellent condition and has has paid for itself many times over except that the design now has slightly change and is now more streamlined than what mine is.
