after 1st hand experience, hitch racks are over-rated. I just got one of these for wifey's Toyota matrix. it would work well on my 2011 Forester, and probably any year. I have an older model that pretty much fits the same way, resting on the back bumper and held on at 6 points with straps hooks. tie a knot at the strap fastener with the left over strap and it won't loosen.
