DH has an '02 Impreza WRX. Depending on the bike (wheelbase), he can carry 1 bike on its side with the front wheel on. For 2 bikes, we take the Escape with the hitch rack.
The CRV's are very nice (the new ones seem almost TOO nice to sully with dirty bikes and kayaks and such!). A neighbor of mine has an '04 CRV that holds 2 bikes upright, front tire removed and braced against the back of the front seat (rear seats folded flat). It works out great, and he can pack other things in around the upright bike.
