Car rack suggestions

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a trunk-mount car rack? I drive a 2003 Corolla. I would doubt I would need space for more than 2 bikes.

For me, there are two real advantages of a hitch mounted rack over a trunk mounted rack. First, with a hitch mounted rack I can access my trunk / rear hatch. Second, the hitch mounted rack is just easier to take on and off. Down side is having to install a hitch on your vehicle.

Can you explain why you prefer the hitch mount? Thanks! - Lee

Before installing a hitch (so that I could use hitch-mounted bicyle racks), I used a number or trunk mounted bicycle racks. I found that the Saris bones racks were fantastic. They mount securely to a wide variety of different vehicles, hold bicycles very securely, and are pretty easy to use. I strongly recommend them.
