Review: Solid Thule product, works well on Mazda 3 - works well on my Mazda 3 (2008). Thule instructions actually limit the Mazda 3(2008) to only the 910XT version for 2 bikes but the fixing mechanism and all components are the same between 910XT and 911XT except for the length of the tube from which the bikes hang. I am using the 911XT for only two bikes now but wanted to have the extra third there in case my little kid's bike fits on the carrier in the next year or in case we change to a different car which will also formally support the 911XT. This carrier is very easy to install and has not damaged my car so far in any way. It takes me 5 minutes to install the bike carrier. Being able to fold down the supporting tubes when no bikes are mounted is a huge bonus compared to other products. In that way the carrier only extends minimally beyond the car. I have been driving around Boston area roads which are renown for their potholes and so far the carrier and bikes have been holding up very well and feel safely mounted. Would recommend it to everyone. One of my two bikes is a women's bike without the straight top bar for which I had to get the Thule Frame Adapter 982XT, https://www.desertcart.com/Thule-982XT-Frame-Adapter/dp/B004KZS5GW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497495028&sr=8-1&keywords=thule+adapter I got that frame adapter half price at an EMS store for $20. I think the regular Thule price is way too high. It is a very simple piece and would have considered buying a cheaper product. While I am happy to pay more for Thule quality for the actual bike carrier as this is quite delicate technology and needs to be done well to not damage the car and hold the bikes well and safely, the frame adapter is a simple extensible tube - doing that well is no rocket science and shouldn't cost $50.
Review: Great frame, terrible straps - This bike rack was very easy to assemble and has some very clever features, such as flip-down arms and little plastic tensioners that keep the bike from swinging around. We purchased it it to carry our two e-bikes, which, due to their size, will not fit on smaller carriers. This rack would be 5 stars across the board if not for the terribly low quality straps and hooks that lash the thing to your car. They cut so many corners here and it hurts the quality of the carrier. 1: the hooks won’t hook unless they’re crazy tight, 2: the straps thread through the carrier frame so the same strap that holds the bottom of the trunk turns 90% degrees inside the frame to then clips to the side of the trunk. And 3: the tightening clasps are absolute garbage. They’re the kind of thing you’d find on a cheap backpack, and between the friction of this crappy plastic thing, and the friction and loss of mechanical advantage from the right angle, it is very difficult to tighten the straps for a secure fit. It’s going to aggravate you because the side clips will keep falling off while you try to tighten it. Terrible design.

### ⭐ Cheap, cheap cheap!
*by A***I on May 27, 2014*

Bought this 3 bike rack from Amazon and was excited to use this to take our bikes along with us on vacation. After looking at the rack in a big box retailer I found it for $40 cheaper and ordered it online. Two days later it arrived at our door. Being amateur bicyclists, we had read decent reviews on several bike racks and decided that the Thule would probably be the best fit and bang for our money. We assembled the bike rack and excitedly mounted it onto our 2013 RAV4 SUV. As I was putting this thing together I couldn't help but notice how poorly constructed it was. The plastic hub discs looked like they were spreading apart right out of the box!! I put this momentary worry aside and hoped that after it was fully assembled and strapped to our vehicle, it would somehow seem more sturdy. Sadly, this never happened. I cannot imagine how this thing is sold as a "3 bike" rack. This thing is barely reliable enough to hold onto one adult mountain bike much less 2 or 3. From the moment we left the house we were watching this thing shift back and forth and both horizontal arms swayed from side to side. This is with all straps fully taught and correctly installed. It is JUNK pure and simple. Cheap plastic, flimsy hubs. Metal clips scratched the edges of our rear hatch. If you need a rack to get your bike from the garage to the end of the driveway, then this might be the one for you, If you plan on traveling over some distance with your expensive bikes on the back of your vehicle, you'd be better off with more reliably made product. Even at $40 this thing wouldn't be worth buying. Save your money and take a good look at the construction of this and comparable trunk mount racks before buying. If this was for one bike or a set of ski poles it would maybe suffice. Don't play roulette with your bikes on the freeway.
