Expert Reply:
Based on your information, the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Bike Carrier, Item # TH910XT, is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Volkswagen GTI - R32. It has a weight capacity of 35-lbs per bike. It has a secure mounting system that protects your car, has anti-sway cradles to minimize bike movement during transport, and is easy to install.
As with all trunk-mount bike carriers, a rear wiper on the car cannot be used with the rack in place.
If you are carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar, Item # HRBA-PRO.
If you want additional security, the Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers, Item # TH533, is a good choice.
