I was looking for a simple rack that didn't break the bank for use to haul my bike within 20-40 miles (in other words, I wasn't looking for something to take on long road trips). It's a beautifully designed rack that does exactly what it should.
I cannot overestimate my ineptitude when it comes to putting mechanical things together (part of the reason I wanted a rack is because I'm so awful at removing my front tire and putting the bike in the trunk). And yet I was able to install this rack easily -- and I have a hatchback with a spoiler. Really, it works like a charm. The straps are very long to accommodate any size car and the braces click into place without a hassle. It also folds flat in my trunk, so I can pull it out and have it up in a couple of minutes.
If you are not sure if it will fit your car, check out the Allen website. They list very clearly which auto models will and will not work with their different products. Because mine is a Saab hatchback, I definitely wanted to check before buying from Amazon. The site said it would work and it did.

I've taken this bike rack with one bike from Michigan to Iowa, a 650 mile trip. I experienced no problems and I traveled 80 mph most of the way. A great buy!

Allen 102S Premium 2-Bike Trunk Mount Rack Back racks in general can be pretty pricey. This is a pretty reasonable price for this product. This rack was extremely easy to put on my car (2009 Honda Civic) and felt very secure with my bike on. I did have to buy an adapter for my woman's road bike. Another notable comment: I used the extra slack from the straps used to strap it to the car to secure the pedals. I drove 900 miles at up to 80 mph without any problems or concerns. The rack fits easily in my trunk. I though the bike rack stood up very well.

This bike rack is my second Allen. The first one I bought is great - use it on my spare tire of my Jeep. This one, 102S, the fittment guide was a little off.... Allen claims this bike rack fits cars with spoilers (top part of rack fits over spoiler). I have a 2002 Nissan Sentra with a stock spoiler. This rack does not fit over spoiler, but right behind it and below it. I tested it today, but did not drive-test it. I hope it doesn't bounce. Also, what they neglected to tell me; the maximum weight limit of the rack is 70 lbs. Which means, if you have 2 bikes about 40 lbs. each, you can't use this rack. Also, there are 2 bolts on the top of this rack that are loose and appear to need tightening - they hold the top straps to the rack. These bolts cannot be tightened because the thread on the bolt does not go all the way down to the head. Not sure why they are supposed to be loose, but it seems the rack would be a bit more sturdy if these bolts were not so loose. I will be posting a picture soon. FYI - when you put the bike on the rack, on most cars, it will block the third brake light as well as the license plate. Not sure how the police will handle this.
