| I was originally looking at a Thule rack when my wife up and ordered this one. Therefore, I could'nt help but be a bit skeptical as I opened the box. My skepticism, though, changed to enthusiasm as I inspected the rack's solid construction and ample rubber fasteners.Getting it on the car (an 03 Focus Hatchback) was no more difficult than any other rack. The first try took about 15 minutes. After that it was a five minute job.Once on the car it was firmly attached and very stable. It didn't budge. As for the bikes, they did not budge, either. At highway speeds there was no vibration, no shaking, and no unusual noise.After several trips with the rack and several mountings and unmountings there was no sign of damage or wear either on the bikes or the car.Using the Yakima is a good experience.

| Long story short......bikes loaded on rear of car, driving on interstate, bike falls off rear of car, bike stolen off highway in the time it took for us to turn around to pick it up. Moral of story....called Yakima, complained about bike falling off on highway, mailed rack back to service department, Yakima ran tests to see if bike was loaded incorrectly or rack defective, check for total price of bike in my mailbox a few weeks later. Guess the bike rack was defective. But their customer service was fabulous. And now I use the replacement rack they sent me and have had no problems with it! All bikes have stayed in their place on the rear of car. | |

| I use this as often as possible.. i must say having just one bike on the rack is very sturdy, going 100+mph on the highways still didnt move a bit at all... the straps are pretty easy to use, the mount itself where the bike sits is adjustable also... one down fall is mounting 2 or 3 more bikes it become unstable.. you can see it in the rear view mirror that it sways left to right but just know the fact that you can tighten the mains straps.. but over all its good!! | |

Great Rack for the Money | |

| I bought this rack to use with kids bikes, I ended up needing to purchase a crossbar to make them fit. It's a bit complicated to put on the car, a lot of steps, so I don't end up using it much. It is sturdy and holds the bikes on well. I would recommend it as a good alternative to a roof rack that is considerably more expensive. | |

| Does it's job like its supposed to, although holding three adult male bikes was a bit much for this guy but normally it will be carrying my girlfriends bikes so its perfect for her...It was a little tricky installing and getting the bikes to fit the first time but heck, I guess thats what the directions are for so I suggest you read them like we didn't! | |

| I leave the rack on my car the majority of the time, doesn't rust, sturdy, and I feel confident that my bike isn't going to fall off. | |

| I would not reccomend this for a SUV. I have been using Yakima racks exclusively since 1990 and this is the worst product I have ever used from Yakima. I had three bikes on it and when going over Altimount pass on our way to Yosemite, the bottom two straps came unhooked from my vehicle. Everything started to sway left and right and I had to stop on the side of the highway to re-adjust and re-hook the straps. Even when put on correct, the bikes and rack sway a bunch side to side the whole time we were driving. I would pull them tight at every stop but it doesn't help the sway. I had to keep watching them in my mirror and kept me stressed the whole drive we would loose the bikes. The side straps also broke pieces off both rear tailights. I needed a rack for three bikes and the REI store in San Francsico did not have any other racks like this for 3 bikes. I wanted to buy the more expensive rack, that seems to be more stable and had better reviews, but this is all they had. I now have to go return it to get my money back, but who is going to pay for my broken tailights? I guess that would be me! Might be time to start using Thule or some other competitor? | |

not so great | |

| We bought this when we got our son a bike (we previously had a 2 bike saris). The yakima was billed as an "upgrade"- other than having space for the third bike, the saris was better. The Yakima is not stable at all- if you go over railroad tracks or bumps in the road, it becomes unstable, and we constantly have to stop and readjust the straps which is very frustrating. | |

"Pass on this one" | |

| I am not really a fan of the super joe. It seems to always come loose and waggle around. This is disconcerting when you are watching your carbon fiber ride wave around in your rear view mirror. I wound up getting rid of it and getting a saris bones. It stays tight and doesn't rough up the trunk lid the way the joe does with its foam pads. | |
