Hi,

my GF and I are currently considering to get a rack, but unsure whether we should get a roof or trunk rack for her 4-dr Jetta. I am concerned about the visibility out of the back with a trunk rack, then again the fuel-economy problems with a roof-rack. How does a trunk rack affect the fuel economy? I also heard that the hot exhausts could damage tires if a bike is trunk-mounted?

We would probably take our bikes on the car 1-2x/ month during the summer, but who knows maybe more often, if we find nice places to go bike and if it is easy to mount them. We have a pair of road bikes: 60cm Trek and a 48cm Schwinn compact frame. They are obviously very different in size, is that going to be a problem?
