Expert Reply:

We carry a number of trunk mounted bike racks that will fit your 2007 Toyota Prius including the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack, # Y02638, that you looked at. I have attached a link to all of the trunk mounted bike racks that will fit your vehicle.

A trunk mounted bike rack that I recommend checking out is the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack, # SA801BL. The injection-molded plastic arms makes this bike rack considerably lighter and more stylish than most trunk mount bike racks on the market and with a lifetime warranty, you won't have to worry about sacrificing quality over the traditional steel bike racks.

I've attached review videos of the Yakima HangOut and the Saris Bones for you to check out and compare. Keep in mind that the rear wiper cannot be used when the carrier is mounted.

If you plan on carrying any womens, childrens or alternative bike frames, then I would recommend also picking up the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # SA3040. Some small and angled bike frames can be difficult to load on a bike rack and this adapter bar allows you to load the bikes easily and safely.
