Pros: rubber straps are strong & elastic to wrap around frame
strong to hold 2 bikes, haven't tried with 3
Cons: a little hard to install w/ 1 person bc of straps you have to use to tie down rack
Recommendation: enough padding for protection of car
good brand reputation
stylish

Pros: Fits virtually every vehicle. It fits on my little Chevy Malibu and my Jeep with little alteration between the two. Goes on easy too! I am very happy with the stability as well. I do a lot of interstate travel with my bike and it does not seem to budge in high winds. It is relatively small and should fit in your trunk when not in use. I like the option to close the pads in my trunk too. Comes with two built-in bottle openers!
Cons: It is a tad cumbersome to put on, but if you can't get your rack on your car maybe you should find a different sport.
Recommendation: Love this rack! I recommend this rack to anyone who, like myself, does not want to mess around with a roof rack. I purchased the King Joe 2 so I cannot technically attest to the qualities of the King Joe 3. I assume they're the same.
