Not that there's anything wrong with roof racks per se, but on that vehicle body style, I'd go with a hitch rack myself. Much less trouble and they work just as well. I even transport my CF bike using one, although I do wrap the top tube with a foam piece my shop gave me when I bought it. Do that and secure the front wheel and you're off in no time with no hassle.
