Question:
What is the best bike rack for a 2010 Chevy Aveo5? There is no spoiler. I am looking to carry two bikes.

If you are looking for a trunk mount bike rack, the rack I like the most and recommend often is the Thule OutWay 2, # TH45JV. This is one of the newer bike racks from Thule. It is very light weight at 13 pounds, but what I really like about this rack is the ease of which it can be attached and removed.
The OutWay 2 features only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the 4-6 cumbersome straps like you see on most trunk mount racks. I had a chance to use this rack recently and found it to be the easiest to use rack I have encountered.
Thule also lists the Passage 2, # TH910XT, as a fit for your 2010 Chevy Aveo5. With either rack, if you plan on carrying bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across from handle bars to seat post, I recommend the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, which will allow you to carry the bikes more level. I have included a video review of this adapter bar as well.
