Most Popular Bike and Rack Lock for 2018 Hyundai Sonata

After searching for a bike rack for my 2015 Hyundai Sonata, I settled on the Yakima Fullback 3. I initially wanted a roof rack so I could carry my bikes and kayaks, but my options with the panoramic sunroof were limited and expensive. Part of the Sonata trunk lid is plastic so I was very hesitant to use a trunk mounted rack. It seemed that most Sonata owners were using a trunk mount rack, so I placed my order on a Sunday evening. etrailer shipped it the next day and I received the rack on Thursday. It took about 10 minutes to unpack, read the instructions and install it. I put both my mtb and road bike on and went for a test ride. The rack was more stable than the hitch mounted rack I had on my old vehicle, and the best part was it didn't scratch my paint. It keeps the bike pedals far away from my bumper, and it was one of only a few racks that would clear my factory spoiler. It folds up and I can stick it in my trunk while I ride. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the rack is fairly heavy. It would be nice if Yakima could find a way to lighten it up while keeping the rigidity and price where it is now. Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied with the rack and the service from etrailer.

This bike rack is awesome. It's universal and fits most cars. I've used it on a Hyundai Sonata, Mercedes C300 & Audi Q3. The only issue I would say would be that sometimes it can be a little cumbersome to put on. I'm not the biggest guy in the world and putting this on my Audi can be a little tougher. It's still an awesome rack though. I also have the adjustable bike rack bar which makes it simple to put on and off the rack.
