Question:

Curious what 2-Bike rear racks would attach to the back of my 2012 Scion IQ, and carry 2 mountain bikes without any issues? What are my options? Thanks!

If you click the provided link, you can see the available 2 bike trunk mount racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2012 Scion iQ.

My favorite is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. I'll admit, the rack isn't inexpensive, but the rack is unbelievably easy to install and remove. Usually, trunk mount bike racks use 6 straps and you'll need to adjust all kinds of buckles each time you want to install the rack onto the vehicle. The OutWay uses 2 rubber coated straps that allow the rack to be installed or removed in just seconds. The rack features the One-Key system that will lock the rack and the bikes.

For something that's a bit more bare-bones, the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT would work well. The rack doesn't feature locks or the upgraded cradles provided by the other two racks I've recommended, but if you're on a tight budget it's would be a good choice.

If you click the links I've provided, you can see demonstration videos for both of the racks I mentioned.
