I really wanted to go with a roof rack option, so as to not limit myself to just toting a bike or 2 on the back of my car, but price to price - the rack system was out of the budget at the time being (around $500). I've only carried 1 bike on this rack so far and it is a road bike (light weight) - but the way the pads are on this unit help to spread the weight without denting the trunk. I have a 2009 Corolla S with Spoiler, and the curved arms when attached look as if it was designed for spoilers in mind. it fits perfectly. The rack stay stable, and doesn't shift or slide.
Pros:
*Assembles onto trunk in less than 15 minutes first time use.
*Reattaches to Trunk in less than 5 minutes every time after first.
*Folds down for storage.
*Padded rubber feet are broad and don't scratch.
*Metal clasps are covered with rubber so if you drop on car wont scratch.
*Metal hooks are coated so they don't scratch or rust.
Cons:
*Straps to secure bike to the rack are pull-tight rubber - which I can see over time wearing out and breaking.
Overall I'm satisfied, and haven't had any issues with this rack at all.

Having gone through many permutations of cars, I have owned 3-4 bike racks in my lifetime. This has been the best so far. It was EASY to put it on our Ford Escape. After some fussing with the straps, it attached quickly and easily. It took my about 20 minutes the first time, 10-15 the second time. And it was *solid*. I hated previous bike racks that would sway back and forth. Not this one. Loading the bikes on was easy. The bikes did not rub against one another, nor did a wheel/pedal scratch up my car. Great design....The arms that hold the bike fold up when not in use. Also could still open the hatch on the Ford Escape with the rack in place.
Lastly, our local bike store showed us that tying a knot in the straps below the buckle actually would prevent any slipping of the buckle. Also helps deals with any flapping straps. Also showed us to use some extra strap to tie TO the bike, as an extra measure.
Highly recommend this bike rack.

The Yakiam KingJoe rack works great. I have 2 beach style bikes and they fit and carry on my care just perfectly with this rack.

I drove cross country with two bikes, pretty much through the worst conditions possible. This rack never loosened or gave me any doubt as to the security of my bikes. It had no problem supporting the extra weight from the ice that caked up on the bikes, and it was a considerable amount of weight.
To the "fatal flaw" review: Give me a break. This rack works great.

This is about the only bike rack that would fit my Ford Escort hatchback. It works fine if you make sure every strap is tight. However, it doesn't instill confidence since it sways slightly on turns and bumps. Also, Florida just passed a law that you can't obscure your rear license plate and this does.
