Troller:
I can carry (2) ODC 420 almost fully deployed on my old Generation II Prius. One goes inside the hatch with the seats down and completely inflated/rigged except for the bottom seat cushion. If you consider a variation of this method, you might consider partial inflation (one tube/seat/etc.) to the extent allowed by your hatch, as it cuts set up time.
The 2nd ODC 420 is strapped to the roof with 2 ratchet straps which run thru the inside of car at the rearmost corner at the open doors and over stable anchor behind and in front of the ODC seat back. The top mounting is only used if I don't have to drive very far, since it affects gas milage considerably. A Subaru is geared lower and with a more powerful engine, may not be affected much by the top loading.
