I recommend using an adapter for each women's bike that you plan on carrying, especially if the bike does not have a upper frame bar. The adapter bar provides a location to secure the bike to the carrier. I have attached a review video of this adapter bar for you.
The # TH982XT adapter will work with nearly any bike rack that requires an upper frame bar for mounting. The bar will work great with either the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT or the Passage 3 # TH911XT that you referenced.

The Thule Passage Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack, part # TH911XT would be a great fit for your 2005 Kia Amanti. The rack uses Thule's Fit Dial system to perfectly tailor itself to the profile of your Amanti. The Thule # TH982XT frame adapter would work great for you, but I'd recommend the Swagman version, part # 64005 which is less expensive and easier to use. The 64005 will work perfectly with the Passage. view full answer...
