Right a load that is within the ability of a roof rack would probably be within the ability of a hitch mounted cargo carrier, no trailer required. The best of all would be a hitch mounted carrier that was actually designed to improve the aero shape of the car. Too much weight there could mess with handling but most FWD stuff is already front heavy so it wouldn't be too bad.
Here is my Forester loaded for camping, the hitch is better and I don't want to lift even a 55cc motorcycle onto the roof.
