There is a high-quality option for a roof rack and roof-mounted bike rack for your 2022 Subaru WRX, but I checked with the manufacturers, and there are no trunk-mounted bike racks for your Subaru. So you'll need to go with a roof rack, and starting with the rack, the option that fit is from Thule, and consists of the following parts:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711300 or Black # TH711320
- Evo Fixpoint Feet for Thule Evo Crossbars # TH49SC
- Fit Kit # TH88RE

When it comes to quality, Thule has long been at the top of the list, and this will give your WRX a strong rack that is also highly durable, as evidenced by the lifetime warranty each of these parts have. Then for a bike rack that will work, the best value is from Rhino-Rack, the Rhino-Rack Road Warrior # RBC036.

This rack is easy to use, clamping onto your crossbars, and at 5-1/2 lbs is super lightweight so you can take it on and off easily. It also comes with locks, and uses a quick-release, 9-mm skewer to secure your front-wheel fork to the rack. It will still work with thru-axles but you'll need the Rhino-Rack Multi Axle Adapter for Fork Mount Bike Racks - 12-mm, 15-mm, and 20-mm Thru Axles # RRRBCA030.

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…
