Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Mazda 3
Question:
i Have a 2008 Mazda 3, four door sedan. i would love to use theoutway3 to carry three bikes with it but it doesn't seem to be listed among the racks that fit my specific vehicle. however, the outway 2 is listed. why is this? and would it be terrible to put the outway 3 on my car? or would it even fit i didnt think the outway 2 and 3 had different infrastructures? If the outway 3 is out of the question, which rack would you recommend as the next highest quality. id like it to hold three bikes and not dent or scratch the car. Thank you,

Expert Reply:
I have a nice 3 bike rack that is confirmed to fit your 2008 Mazda 3, but all of the 3 bike racks from Thule are not confirmed to fit your vehicle.
You should check out the Yakima QuickBack 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack # KingJoe Pro # Y02625. This is one of the best racks we offer because of how easy it installs, how light it is, and the range of vehicles it fits. I attached installation instructions and a review video for this product for you to check out.
If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531. I attached installation instructions and a review video for this product for you to check out also.
