I have a Saris Bones 2 and recommend it.
As mentioned, all trunk-mount racks will leave a mark in time. The only alternative is hitch-mount.
Not necessarily true.
Get "helicopter tape", also known as "heli tape". It's a thick plastic cellophane-like sheet with a gentle adhesive on one side. Put that on the car, under the pads, and avoid marking

But you can't open your trunk that way.
So I put the feet against the bottom of the trunk, and can now open and close the trunk with the rack mounted.
Also - I got a few small velcro strips to stop the back wheel from spinning and the front wheel from swinging around. Takes all of 9 seconds to put the velcro in place or to remove it.
