Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack for 2017 Subaru Impreza

Question:

Will a Yakima Mighty Joe fit on a Subaru Impreza 2017 5 door wagon? Im guessing no, but Id like to ask before buying a new bike rack. If no, what 2 bike trunk rack do you recommend?

The Mighty Joe has been discontinued so there would be no fit information available for a 2017 Subaru Impreza.

Instead, I strongly recommend checking out the Yakima FullBack # Y02636. This is a high-quality bike rack featuring anti-sway cradles that have heavy-duty padding and ratcheting straps to secure your bikes at three different points to keep them from making contact with one another. The rack has arms which adjust and fold down for when you are not using it and are made of steel to ensure durability. They are padded to protect your Impreza and secure to the vehicle with four cam-buckle straps.

Additionally, please note that when using any hanging rack like the HalfBack you'll need bike frame adapter bar # Y02531 if your bike is dual-suspension, has a step-through frame or you want to carry a small children's bike. The bar will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.
