    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a bike rack that will fit 2 two differant cars (a Toyota Corolla saloon and a Toyota Corolla Liftback). Neither car has a tow bar. The rack only needs to be capable of carrying one lightweight road bike.
    I don't really weant to get a roof rack, what are my options?
    Many Thanks.

    I have this, it does the job.
    Carries three bikes pretty comfortably.
    Easy to take on and off.

    Only thing I would add is to place insulation taping (buy from diy store) around the bike tubing in order to prevent scratches to yur bike etc.

    I have the 3-bike version of this. Does the job, although the clips that go around your hatch are metal, so I wouldn't attach them to a car I loved.

    Lots more on Wiggle.

    I have one of these too - I've had it about 8 years at this point.

    I've never had a car it wouldn't fit (I work in the motor trade, and typically have a different car every week), and I've never had a problem with it.

    Would that fit on a hatchback?
