Love my '05 Forester. I can get my bike in the back no problem but do have a nice hitch mount rack that moves out of the way when I need to transport more than one bike. (The heated leather seats are fabulous!)

Before the Forester I had a '98 CRV that was also great. The nice thing about the CRV is the spare tire on the back and you can get a spare tire mount rack for those - less hassle and cheaper than a hitch mount, if you don't need to transport multiple bikes very often.

Have fun! A new car whatever you end up with is always exciting!
