Would a 3 bike Thule trunk carrier fit a 2003 VW Jetta Wagon. Ive read the reviews and am impressed by its reported durability, sturdiness, and ease of application.

Yes, the Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV, is listed as a fit for the 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon. I recently acquired this same bike rack and I am happy to report that all of the good things you see in the reviews are accurate.

The best feature for me is the retractable cables because it makes installing and removing the rack easy and fast. .

If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes I recommend using the bike adapter bar, TH982XT for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.
