Great rack. Bike goes on and comes off in a flash. The anti-sway straps are the selling point.
The only issue (and it really isn't one) is that the open ended main pole section makes noise while @ speed. Not an issue, and what else would you expect?

Pros
Very fast to put on and off, lightweight, and bike goes on and off easy
Cons
Rocks can get stuck in the rubber feet and will scratch your car.
Review
Buy it if you don't want to spend as much money on a better rack.

Pros
Lightweight, simple setup
Cons
For a trunk mounted bike carrier, it performs better than most. However, for any person who is serious about riding (drives more then 10 miles to go) you will want something other than a trunk mounted rack. I purchased the 3 bike rack and subsequently returned it. When you are driving, you can a space between the trunk and the mount (meaning the thin straps are holding all the weight.) The other bad thing is that even with cleaning your vehicle before mounting dirt and rocks will get between the car and the pads and destroy the paint on your bumper and trunk
Review
As mentioned above, I returned it. The product is made VERY well and if you do not have money for a hitch mounted carrier, it might be the best deal. Keep in mind, the Saris website itself says you should not drive over 55 with the carrier. SO, it will make for a long trip if you go any distance. I ended up purchasing a hitch for my car and bought a Raxter rack. If you are looking for only a trunk mounted rack, it might get the job done - but keep in mind the only thing between your thousands of dollars of gear and a 55mph road is a cheap nylon strap...
