Best Three Bike Rack for 2017 Mazda 3 Hatchback
Question:
Hello I am trying to decide between a trunk mounted 3 bike rack or a hitch mounted version. This is for a 2017 Mazda 3 5 door hatchback. Im wondering if one is better than the other. Generally it will be for 2 bikes with the occasional need for a 3rd. Thanks for any advice in advance

Since you need the ability to carry a third bike you'd have to go with a trunk mounted bike rack as the hitches that fit your 2017 Mazda 3 can only carry up to two bikes since they are Class I hitches.
So the best three bike trunk rack option is the Yakima FullBack part # Y02633 for your 2017 Mazda 3. This is a lightweight rack, is easy to install, and comes with locks for the bikes and for the rack to the vehicle.
