Good, but
By David C. Knieriem
I gave it 4 stars, so generally it works as advertised; but there are certainly some things you should be aware of when using this. For reference, I put it on a 2010 Honda CRV with aftermarket roof racks.

1. Fit. Perfect. Went from the back of the sunroof to the front of antenna, and it is, to a certain extent, adjustable.

2. Ease of install. I'm a 6'1" male, and I could put it on myself and lock it down by standing on the seats. If you're not, then you probably will need help.

3. Durability. I took it 1500 miles with no ill effects, but it will flex. See below.

4. Capacity. I put in it a stroller, a pack and play, and various crushable floor toys for the kiddo. Note that it has a relatively low weight capacity.

5. Mileage: If you think it won't reduce your mileage, let me introduce you to a little concept called aerodynamics. Unless you have a 60 mph tailwind, expect it to knock off 2-3 mpg.

6. Waterproof: It's not, nor bug proof or windproof. The problem is that because it will flex, it allows wind, water, bugs etc to be sucked in to the front. I tackled this by putting in weatherstripping around the edge on the front and back (not the sides, which will keep it from closing) and that seems to have solved the problem.

7. Noise. None that I could notice; if you put a lot of weight in it though, I could see it bouncing off your roof.

an easy install and great buy
By bomber
i used this cargo box to travel cross country. it fit on the factory roof rack of my subaru and did not shift from highway speeds or leak water during rainy spells. i found that the overall height of the box on top of the car was not too great so no disaster would be caused when i pulled out of the garage, like some chevy chase movie. the bugs wash off easily and the box itself is not overly heavy so installation and any clean up is simple.it holds plenty of gear and one should be conscious of the weight restrictions on the rack itself. i am sure overloading could be done easily enough. It worked great for holding camping and fishing gear and other compressible stuffs. i feel it was a good buy.

Yakima RocketBox 15s
By WEB
This box fits perfectly on the roof of my Lexus 400h. It also holds a surprising amount of cargo. The only drawback is that I needed to place thin spacers (doubled over electrical tape) between the cargo box clamps and the roof of my car to protect the finish from scratches because the roof rails flex a bit while the car is moving and that flexing allows the cargo box's clamps to "tap" the car's roof. I did not notice any decrease in my fuel mileage with this box mounted on the roof either. It is very aerodynamic.
