What racks do you have that will fit a 2014 kia soul with a spoiler need at least a rack that will fit two bikes preferably 3. Saw the OutWay, but thats out of my price range. Thought you might have something else.

The Thule OutWay you mentioned is my preferred recommendation for a trunk mount bike rack, because it's so easy to install and remove. Since that rack would blow your budget out of the water, the Thule Gateway which is available in a two bike # TH88VR or three bike # TH78VR model would be my second (but still very good) choice.

The Gateway Pro uses Thule's upgraded padded cradles for the ultimate in bike protection. The integrated cable lock secures the bikes to the rack, but you would need # TH533 to secure the rack to your vehicle.

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. I'll link you to a video showing how the adapter bar works.

I've also linked you to a video showing the Archway being test fit on a 2014 Kia Soul.
