Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Audi A3
Question:
I think the Bicycle Hitch is my best option. What kind of hitch will work on my 2006 Audi A3. I heard bicycle racks attached to the back are an accident waiting to happen. Best options are roof racks or hitch racks. I can lift a bike on a hitch better than I can onto the roof rack. Thats why Im wanting to purchase a bicycle hitch. Can you recommend any? Thank you.

A hitch mounted bike rack is often times the most preferred bike rack option. First let's start with a hitch for your 2006 Audi A3. The Curt Hitch part # C11192 that you referenced would be a great hitch and has been confirmed to fit your 2006 Audi A3.
The most popular bike rack we offer that would work great for you would be the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack is easy to use, works well and has been positively reviewed by a ton of customers. Check out the review video I attached for this rack as well.
