Does anyone know if Toyota Matrix is long enough to carry a 17' sea
kayak? Car has a Thule roof rack; I also have a Hullaport kayak
carrier. I think most cars could do this, but Matrix is shorter than
the cars I used before and I am wondering if a 17' kayak can be tied
securely (so it will stand there for 300+ highway miles).

Any info is appreciated!
