From the images I was able to view online it looks like the 2005 Holden Hatchback Viva comes with a rear spoiler, so you will not be able to use the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike Carrier, # HRF6-2. Instead, I would recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers, # HRF2. My contact at Hollywood Racks confirmed this. I have linked a video review of this rack for you to check out.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
