Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Basket for 2005 Subaru Impreza Sedan With Naked Roof

Rhino Rack makes a high quality rack and would be a great choice for your 2005 Subaru Impreza. The Rhino Rack that fits your '05 Impreza sedan is made up of crossbars # RRVA118B-2, Legs # RRRLKVA and Custom Fit Kit # DK070. This rack uses aero bars with rubberized vortex strips that to keep the wind noise and drag to a minimum.

The Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82 will not work with your Subaru because the crossbar spread of your Rhino Rack will not be far enough.

The MegaWarrior is a very big cargo basket - a full 30" longer than the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07070. The LoadWarrior will work for your Impreza and has interior dimensions of 38-1/2" long x 38-1/2" wide. It even includes a wind fairing to help reduce the noise and can be locked to your roof rack with Yakima Locking Mount Brackets # Y07064.

To keep your cargo secure I recommend using the Stretch Net for Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07072 along with Yakima Cinch Straps # Y05006.
