Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 1994 Honda Del Sol

Question:

I have a 94 Del Sol, asking which rack would best fit. Two bikes is probably all thats needed, three would be nice but either would be fine. Thanks..

Due to the softer bumper on your 1994 Honda Del Sol I would recommend only carrying 2 bikes as a max. For that I would recommend the Thule OutWay Trunk Rack part # TH45JV as it would fit the best.

What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer.

This carrier offers a locking system for both the rack and the bikes to deter theft.

The arms of this rack are adjustable to accommodate many shapes and sizes of bikes.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
