Probably the best trunk-mount unit available 
by .. Mad Mike (Portland, OR)
I've used plenty of different bike carriers, including a few other trunk-/back-mounted units. This one is notably different in design and overall quality from any other I've seen. It mounts very easily and securely (to a Scion model xA, in this case), and is just dead-solid on the car with two heavy bikes on-board. I just made a trip of over 1,200 miles (Portland to San Francisco and back), in windy conditions, with this rack, and it performed perfectly. I never had to stop to tighten or re-adjust the rack at all. One nice touch is that (at least in my case) the rear gate of the vehicle can be accessed with the rack attached (although not with the bikes on, obviously). There are only three items of caution I'd note: 1) If you're transporting nice bikes and care to protect their finish, you'll want to use foam pipe insulation sections to protect the top and seat tubes. 2) The fit-up is tight for two bicycles--it may be tough or impossible to fit two bikes with wide handlebars and/or racks. 3) Like any trunk-mount unit, there is no accommodation (that I can tell) for security, so do not plan on leaving the car out of sight, with the bikes on, for any length of time. I used a cable to lock the bikes to the rack, and this worked well-enough as a simple deterrent to leave the vehicle unattended for rest-stops and such, but wouldn't stop a determined thief, obviously.
Saris Bones 2 bike rack by .. Anthony Decrosta Jr. (rochester, ny)
I own a 328i BMW and was initially hesitant to mount this rack (or any trunk-mounted rack for that matter) on the car for fear of marring the painted surface of the trunk. I noticed the "feet" of the nylon ribbon securing tapes were made of painted metal. This was obviously a no no. So I placed rubber electrician's tape on each foot and appeared to have solved that problem. The rack seems sturdy enough and has no inherent design problems although it was tricky setting it up initially to fit my particular application. Once I marked the rack with the supplied tape stickers and my own magic marker mark points on the shafts, I now have a rack which I can put up and take down with the "memory" of each leg location already in place. Ir holds both my and my girlfriend's bike securely. I have no reservations recommending this rack once you figure out how to finagle the legs to your own app and mark the shafts to remember where they go for future use. I like the fact that it it won't rust, is priced competitively, and basically looks cool. Get the rubber tape for the legs, a large cable lock, and you are on your way.
Works great! by .. Jason (Houston, TX USA)
PROS:
Takes 5 minutes to install or remove
Fine in all weather
Looks cool
Sturdy
CONS:
Front tire is permitted limited movement (using a $2 bungee cord to secure it works well)
No way to secure the bike or carrier with a lock for security
easy to use, fits my hatchback! by .. melody613 ()
This rack is so easy to mount onto the car. I have a small hatchback and it's very secure on the back. I would definitely recommend it!
Gets the job done

Purchased this rack after much research, been using it for a year so far to get my bikes around. The screws that hold the arms in place once adjusted are made of a really cheap soft plastic and stripped out within the first month. The arms are also too thick to fit inside of the frame of my GT Force, I had to buy a seperate bar that connects stem to seatpost to make it fit on this. So check you full suspension to see if it will have room for these support bars before buying. Upgraded to a Thule metal rack recently.
