I can't answer your question about inflatable kayaks but I can tell you that
you should be able to put a hard shell kayak on your civic.
I encourage you to look at used boats. I currently own four and have owned
three other boats, all purchased used.

Hi Brian,
Aside from Ebay, where else do you recommend looking for a used sea kayak?
Thanks,
Gene
Simply put: Wilderness System's Tarpon 100.
Length: 10ft
Weight: 50lbs
Costs: less than 500 bucks (with paddle and built-in backrest)

These are FANTASIC sit-on-top recreational kayaks, ideal for
beginners. Down where I live (Florida) they are selling like crazy,
the stores sell them within days of gettin them.
I got one, then I got my wife one and we love it. I enthusiastically
reccommend it to anyone.
And the stores up here sell lots of Swiftys, Pungos and Experiences.
Like the Tarpon, they're all short, wide, slower-than-death and
basically only suitable for splashing around on flat water. If that's
what you plan to do, they're fine, but if you have anything more
ambitious in mind, you'd be better off with a longer, narrower, more
seaworthy boat.
