Help: "trunk" bike rack for Imp


Recommended Posts

I need to get a 3-bike rack for my 05 Imp. I know Yakima's 3-bike trunk rack has been recalled, so it's no longer on my short list. I'm also considering Saris and Thule. Anybody have experience with either of them? How about fit with the Impreza's "bum bump"?

 

Anyone have a favorite that isn't Saris or Thule? I can't afford roof racks or hitch racks at this point, so the strap-to-the-trunk kind is what I'm looking for.

The Saris Bones rack has been recommended to me by a bunch of people. It will fit over a stock WRX or Legacy spoiler and I'm told it would work on the back of my legacy wagon. I'm planning on getting one soon, but probably the 2 bike version.

Can't go wrong..nice economical solution:)

 

If you have about $25 more, this is also a VERY nice rack. It isnt as bare bones as the other link above. It has anti-sway brackets and the "pads" protect your bikes paint better. I own this one as well.

I have a friend who bought the Thule 3 bike $130 fancy rack, and just discovered it doesn't fit her car. She said she'd sell it to me if it fits my Imp, and according to the link you posted, if it is the same one it should fit fine. Thanks for the link!
