Whenever Mrs. Grouch and I buy a different car our FIRST consideration is how we're going to transport bicycles with it. We tend to gravitate toward cars that hold our bikes on the inside, away from the weather, away from road grime and away from prying eyes. We used a roof rack for a decade or so but I didn't really like it because I couldn't see the bikes as I was driving down the road. We have a hitch rack so Mrs. Grouch can carry her trike on her Saturn but I hate having to remove it so her car will fit in the garage. We haven't owned a strap on rack for probably 30 years. I don't like strap on racks. I think they contribute to scratches on your car, scratches on your bike and I've known a few folks who lost a whole rack full of bikes on the highway.
