I did the unthinkable and traded in my trusty pickup truck for a nimble little sedan.

I now need a bike rack and am interested in your recommendations. Here are my requirements:

  • Must fit an Acura TSX
  • Must not scratch the car or the bikes
  • Must hold at least two bikes
  • Must hold the bikes securely
  • Must stay on the car securely
  • Should be a trunk rack. I'm too short to deal with a roof rack, and I'm not quite ready to put a hitch on the car.
  • Should be easy to install
  • It would be great if it easily folded up, so I could put it in the trunk.


I've looked (online) at Thules, Yakimas, and Saris'. I'm interested in anyone's experience with their trunk racks -- good, bad, or ugly.

Thanks!!
