Pros: stable, secure, average weight
Cons: doesn't fold completely flat
"Bought this as I got tired of loading my dirty MTB in the back of the car. Easy to set up at first use & even easier every other time you use it. Stable and secure even when traveling at 70MPH. Rubber coated "claws" prevent scratches when attached to the rear of car.
I personally use some extra bungie cord and foam between the bikes to secure them as the two straps attached in my opinion don't completely stop the bikes from moving around while being transported and thus causes the bikes to rub against each other.
The only main downfall I find is that it doesn't fold completely flat, so does create a storage issue, unless you completely dismantle the rack.
Overall a great product at a reasonable price."

"I was really pleased with this product as we have two large cruiser bikes and this bike rack is the best so far. A tow bar was too expensive so we needed to find a rally strong rack that wouldn't damage the car or bikes. This is it!"

"I bought this just before all the kits were supplied. Once I changed cars I had to buy another fixing kit. Ridiculously priced for a couple of bits of metal. Has "we saw you coming" written all over it. Please take care when fitting the clamps to the hatch as they will scratch paintwork if not covered."

"No complaints, easy to assemble, instructions clear. I bought this to put my wheelchair on my car instead of wasting boot space. Loving it! It fits perfectly to car and chair very secure, just got some extra straps for peace of mind but not really sure we needed them. Drive very comfortable with this attached. Excellent buy and Halfords staff brilliant"

Pros: fits to both of our cars a focus and ka
Cons: straps could be better.
"Instructions were not the easiest to follow. Once you have grasped this the rack is easy to get on and off the car. The bike feels secure however the straps provided could be better. Overall an excellant product which is not particularily cheap but is good quality and does exactly what it needs to."

"We went to buy this bike rack for our cycling holiday.
When we bought it, the box look like something out of a junk yard. It was torn and it wasn't worth having for storage.
When putting the rack together, it was easy as soon if you could visualise how the rack was meant to be put together. But having never put a rack together, i actually found this to be quite difficult.
Putting the rack on the car, it was not sturdy and the rack could easy fall off. The arms of where it was to go onto the back of the boot, didnt fit properly on a BMW 1 series and the bottom mount was loose when clamping to the bottom of the boot lid. The measurements of the boot wasn't accurate so i decided to loosen the bottom mount. When getting the mount to the right size by trial and error, the bottom mount was loose no matter how tight you need the screws.
So having tried to put the bikes on anyway (thinking that we could put extra cable ties on the rack to keep it tight), the whole rack just fell off the boot. Scratched the car.
Not happy with this product and does not come recommended from me."

Response from Halfords:By Halfords Web Team, November 14, 2012
The boxes do sometimes get damaged in transit, and are designed to keep the product inside safe. The boxes are not designed for long term storage once the product has been removed. We offer a fitting service in store for cycle carriers, which is particularly useful if you have not fitted one before. Our helpful store colleagues can show you how to fit these, so that you can do it yourself in future. Full fitment information is available on the customer services section of our website, and the product will not fall off the boot if secured correctly.

Pros: fits well on a vw touran, once fitted quick releases in a moment
Cons: can't be locked to car, rear wash wipe can't be used on a vw touran
"I agonised over rear mounted bike carriers for a long time. I already use roof mounted carriers but needed to carry additional bikes and a tow bar solution was ruled out on the basis of price.
Then it comes down to another choice; strap fitting or rigid fitting. Again price is a factor here, but having opted for a rigid carrier, I'm absolutely convinced that the additional £50 ish was money well spent.
This carrier, once badged, the 'advanced' high mount carrier, is now part of the 'Exodus' range from Halfords. The carrier seems well made with good quality metals and plastics and rubberised protection in places where it touches the car....this protection seems a fairly recent addition judging by other reviews here and works very well to protect the car.
Of course, the fitting of these carriers is completely dependant on the car to which its being fitted. In my case this is a 2008 VW Touran MPV which has an almost vertical rear end.
As another reviewer has quite rightly pointed out, the fixing points for the VW Touran in the instructions are slightly wrong, with the upper hangers (kit 2) needing to be attached to point 2 and not point 1. However! I would say to put them into point 1 in the first place and then offer it up to the car - the hangers will then bend themselves into exactly the right place at which point move them to point 2 and you'll have it fitted perfectly.
And I mean perfectly, once the lower clamps are done up tight, this thing does not move at all. You can open the boot up fully too, no problem at all. It simply doesn't move and appears to be perfect for this car with only one exception and that's the rear wiper, which isn't going to clear the carrier, so you'll need to make sure you don't use it. Pull the fuse is your best bet.
Bikes are kept up and nicely out of the way of lights and number plate and with the use of a few additional bungies fit very well. Of course, this all depends what sorts of bikes you've got.
About the other other downside is that the carrier can't be locked onto the car so you might want to add a long cable lock to it too.
Great product, well recommended."

"I bought this product because it had good reviews and looked like a pretty robusr piece of equipment (bars rather than straps). It was actually very easy to assemble (and believe me I can't put a nail in a wall straight so coming from me that is quite a compliment). Unfortunately it did not fit my BMW 5 series saloon (2012 model) by following the instructions so I took it to my local Halfords to get a professional to fit it. Unfortunately the guy in Halfords was even more inept than me and promptly broke it by over tightening it.
Upshot - it does not fot all saloon cars and it broke very easily when tightening to fit (by a professional). I would buy it and have it fitted at a Halfords shop rather than on-line - just in case."

Pros: appears to be very solid, easy to fit -
Cons: doesn't store flat when assembled
"Good clear instructions (mut be followed) and easy to fit on my Mazda 6. Bit of adjustment needed to ensure neither of the two bikes blocked the lights. I'd recommend using some foam pipe insulation on the rack to keep the frame holders in the correct position once you've got it set for the bikes.
Only downside is that it doesn't appear to take kids bikes (16" frame was too small to go on) so I guess they'll be in the boot!
Also the fittings were loose in the box, as was one of the fitting kits, so I guess the rack may have been out before and brought back - but as it was still mint it didn't matter (although some bits could easily have gone missing - hence 4 start quality)."

"This is the first bike rack we have purchased, and it fitted perfectly on our Vauxhall Zafira. The quality seems high and is very firm and sturdy once fitted. It does take 15-20 minutes to assemble for the first time, and will require 2 people to fit it to your care prevent the body-work being scratched. If you follow the instructions (and the car specific fitting guide), then you should no problem with the assembly and installation. A very important points to note regarding assembly however; the instructions refer to loosening the levers to 4.5cm - DO NOT loosen these any further than this or the screws will detach from the frame and they will be very difficult to re-attach! Overall - very happy and would have no hesitation in recommending and with an extra £10.00 off for reserving on-line makes it even better."

"Great big heavy thing, very strong, just the job. Fitting it takes patient reading of the instructions, step by step, and much more than the 15 minutes they say. Once fitted, it's easy to use for my bike, though I pinched my fingers more than once getting the lady's bike on to it. Tip : take your watch off before you start putting the bikes on - it gets caught in the straps and bars - and use the separators you can buy from Halford's to stop the bikes getting tangled up with each other."

Pros: very solid on back of car
Cons: obscures lights and number plate
"I chose this as it had good reviews and fitted my car, a Toyota Verso 2003 and the description stated that it didn't need a lighting board since it's a high mount. It is a great fit and is rock solid on the back of the car but this really does need a lighting board, particularily with adult bikes. Had I known this, I would have saved my money and organised a lower tow bar mounted model, where I don't have to lift the bikes so far. There is no way of knowing if you need a lighting board until you have made up the whole rack, mounted it and then fixed on the bikes which is a complete waste of everyone's time. I have boxed the rack up and will be taking it back to the shop."

Pros: solid when fitted
Cons: paintwork at risk during fitting
"I fitted this to my Audi A3 S line using the instructions, which do have to be followed to the letter, and it fitted fine. It did take me a while to fit it first time round mainly as I didn't believe the instructions as the bottom fitments did not reach the bottom of the hatch door. Just keep on loosening the ratchet! I do recommend using an old inner tube to sleeve at least the bottom grips as they can scratch the paintwork whilst you are offering the rack to the top of the hatch/boot. Whilst it can be fitted with one person, 2 is much safer on the paintwork."
