Is the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier Compatible with a 2009 Subaru Impreza
Question:
I am curious as to what would be the best option for vehicle, yet also be budget friendly. I am most interested in a Thule but would be open to others. I want a bike rack that straps on the back hatch not a roof rack or trailer hitch rack of my 2009 Subaru Outback. Thule's model does just that and the price is right, however its designed to fit the 2012 Subaru Outback. Would it also work on a 2009 ? What other products might you recommend ?

Yes, I checked with Thule and the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH56BV is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon.
Check out the installation instructions and review video that I attached for this product for you to also.
If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT.
