Crossbar/Roof Rack Advice Needed - 2021 Impreza Sedan
I am in need of crossbar setup/buying advice for my 2021 Subaru Impreza Sedan.
Context:
My needs are
- Increased cargo capacity
- Transport snowboards
- Transport bikes
- Cool rooftop awning (?)
Not necessarily all at once of course.
I'm not looking for a flush fit, as I would like the maximum possible space and load capacity. I do not mind hangover.
I get 40% off all Yakima and Thule products.
Questions:
All that being said, would love to hear/see pics of how everyone else has set up crossbars and roof racks on their Imprezas.
- Any benefit to flush fit bars that outweighs the decrease in capacity?
- Brands you recommend other than Yakima or Thule that will come out cheaper after discount?
- Is a front crossbar fairing necessary to cut wind noise?
- What cargo baskets do you use, and is there a better alternative to a basket for transporting your gear?
Thank you in advance!
