Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Audi A3 for Bike Rack
Question:
I need a hitch for my 2016 A3 Quattro S-line Cabriolet. I suspect that I will also need a support strap as I wish to use this hitch to transport two bicycles on a thule or yakima carriers.

For your 2016 Audi A3 we have the Curt hitch part # C11399 which is a confirmed fit.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
For a stabilizer strap, you could use the # 18050.
If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
