Expert Reply:

If your 2014 Subaru WRX Impreza Hatchback has single exhaust then the Curt Hitch part # C11286 that you referenced would be an excellent option, if you have the quad tip exhaust you would want the Curt Hitch part # C11120.

All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.

For a bike rack that is very popular with other WRX owners you should check out the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack part # S64670. I attached a review video for you to check out also.
