For the 2015 or 2016 WRX, 4-door with or without spoiler, I recommend the Yakima KingJoe Pro 3 Bike Rack # Y02625. This rack features Yakima's anti-sway StableCradle system to hold bike firmly in place to help prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact. For easy storage, the mounting arms will fold down to help compact the bike rack.

I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you.

If you have a 5-door hatchback WRX, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3. This rack has a high-rise frame specially designed to help the rack fit hatchbacks with spoilers. I have attached a review video of this rack.

If you plan on carrying bikes with alternative frames, such as kids' bikes or women's bikes, I recommend using an adapter bar, like # 64005. The adapter bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem. This allows the bike to be positioned more level in the carrier while providing additional ground clearance. I have attached a product review video for this adapter bar.
