Expert Reply:
The EcoHitch Hidded Trailer Hitch part # 306-X7310 is a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf TDI and would be a great choice. For a bike rack solution, I prefer a hitch rack to a roof rack as it puts the bikes in an easier to load/unload position and also gets them out of the direct wind on the roof.
For a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR.
This is a platform bike rack that only weighs 20 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you get the best of both worlds. The preferred attachment style with the lighter weight.
