Need advice on Bike Rack
#1
Hi,

Planning to buy a bike rack for the first time.

My car is a Subaru XV Crosstrek. Can you tell me the pros and cons of hitch and roof mount?

I saw this https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/sku/soa567b041.html , a thule brand?

What do you think guys, is there anyone here already tried this kind?

Thank in advance.
