So far, mind you just with some internet browsing, I'm liking the Honda Fit and Element, the VW Jetta, the Pontiac Vibe (or Toyota Matrix, basically the same), and the Subaru Forester. Oh, and possiblly the Toyota Yaris, maybe Corolla. I also want to check out what Scion has offer.

Out of curiosity, what are the advantages and disadvantages of roof mounted bike racks? Are they a hassle to use, do they bring MPG down? Or maybe are they a breeze to use and have no impact on MPG? And is there anyone here who's used a roof mounted rack on an Element? Seems like I'd need a ladder to use it!
