Default yakima skybox 16s
I recently got a roof rack system for my scion xd. I went with Yakima because the REI sales associate said that he finds yakima racks fit Japanese cars better than Thule racks. I eventually bought everything but the Q-clips (which are the only car-specific parts) off craigslist and thus paid about 50% of the retail price. The skybox 16s is long enough to carry skis but short enough to fit perfectly on the roof without interfering with opening the trunk. I've noticed a 3-4 mpg reduction with the box. Wind noise is not noticeable.
