Thule Motion 900 Roof boxes

Product Information

As mentioned previously, the Ocean range was introduced as a ‘budget’ range, but this doesn’t affect any of the traits of the Thule quality. I've just phoned up roofbox.co.uk and they have said that the Thule 900 mounts on an audi saloon quite happily. It is a giant of a box, but there are no safety concerns. There are four boxes in the Ocean range, starting with the Ocean 80 offering 320 litres of extra luggage space, followed by the Ocean 100 with 360 litres. The Ocean 600 is a narrower, half width roof box but still has a capacity of 330 litres and finally the Ocean 200 is the largest in the range and offers 450 litres of added luggage space. Ultimatley it is your decision to drive a vehicle you feel is safe, all anyone else can do is advise you.

Overall, it looks good and is well priced – although one of the brand’s larger boxes would be better if capacity is key for you. Draw a line along the plane of the windscreen up over the roof of the car, the roofbox should be behind that line. It should not overhang the roof at all. I phoned up a thule recommended dealerin Crawley that sells roofboxes. Strangely enough, he happened to have owned one of these boxes and also used to own an A4 saloon and A4 avant/estate. His reconning was "The estate swallows up the roof box, the saloon has a bit of overhang, but it doesn't look riiculous. Both drove without a problem, although it feels like there is another car on top of you!" They have one that they rent out so I'm going down there, mount it, test it out and if it works out, I'll throw my cash down! If anyone has had experiences with saloons and big roof boxes, please shout, I'd be most appreciative.
