Fitting tips: A box is generally easier to load and unload if it's fitted towards the edge of a vehicle; you'll probably always be stretching if you fit it centrally. If you want to keep your roof box in pristine condition, don’t place or store it on tarmac, gravel or concrete.

That’s a huge leap over the 251 litres of bootspace the Volkswagen Up it’s fitted to here, adding real practicality to the compact city car. Not that it’s limited to small cars - the Thule Touring S can be fitted to any car, using Thule’s extensive roof bar and mounting kits. The biggest issue is where to stow it when not in use, but that’s true of all its rivals. If you’re after useful extra space (whatever the size of your car) it’s difficult to ignore how well engineered Thule’s roof box and bars are. Details If that sounds like too much then you can opt for smaller load carriers. The Thule Ocean range starts with the Ocean 80 - with 320 litres of luggage space - and moves up to the Ocean 100 with 360 litres of space. There’s also the Ocean 600 which surprisingly has less space than the Ocean 100 at 330 litres, but is a narrower, half width roof box. The Ocean 200 is large. Huge in fact. However, despite its gargantuan size, the box is surprisingly lightweight. In fact it is only 14kg and its external size is 175 x 82 x 45 cm. Lifting it onto the roof bars can be easily done by one person, although the box can be easily scratched so we'd recommend using two people.

You could save a few pounds by fitting square bars if you’re unlikely to leave them on the car after use, though the saving is slight, and it’s difficult not to be seduced by their style and function.

With the Touring S in place there’s inevitably some increase in wind noise on the move, though it’s not so noticeable to be intrusive. Being high and wide it easily swallowed a full-sized suitcase and a carry-on one, with ample space for squashy bags, a pushchair and anything else you might want to carry. Some users say that this car roof box doesn’t come with the best instructions, but the ease of installation means that it is all pretty easy to figure out without many diagrams. The bar ends are rounded and smooth, and, like the bar itself, shaped to cut through the air as efficiently and quietly as possible - Thule says it’s 55% more efficient than its old AeroBars. With them on (without the box fitted) there’s very little obvious increase in noise, even at motorway speeds.
