Actually, the Thule Gateway XT you looked at, part # TH78VR would be a great choice. The Gateway is a quality bike rack that provides padded cradles to safely and securely hold your bikes during transport. Anti-sway cradles will prevent the bikes from swaying back and forth and banging into each other or the rear of your vehicle. The rack can accommodate three bikes weighing up to 105 lbs in total, and is a fit for your Corolla.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
