Great Construction and Design
The customer service, delivery and overall construction and style has been excellent. I have yet to actually attach and try this rack out. What sold me was the design, simplicity and less straps going everywhere. Can't wait to try it out.

Solid Rack
Just bought my wife a bike, and in addition to mine we found orselves in need of a 2 bike rack. This item came up a lot in the third party review sites that I frequent so I pulled the trigger. I was not disappointed. Although pricey, the quality of make and overall feel does not make you feel bad about the purchase. The only negatives I can write (which are not really that bad) are that installation was a pain, you absolutely must read directions carefully, and it slightly obstructs the rear view cam - but I would imagine all bike racks of this style would have this issue.

Arm latches didn’t work
Returned the bike rack as the arm latches were stuck in the open position so bike could not be placed on bike rack.

Assembly required
I was not advised of this and only instructions are by silent video. Very dissatisfied

Clever design
I bought the Outway 2 for my Volvo XC70 a couple of weeks ago. The assembly video on YouTube was a very useful guide. The Outway 2 is a very solid, well engineered bike rack. On a side note, I lost the keys on my first outing, fortunately after I had removed my bikes, and Thule replaced the keys quickly. So don't forget to record the key number and to leave one key in your vehicle's glove box. Bravo Thule!

Good frame, bad parts
The rack itself is good, strong and secure for my Honda Civic but the bumper straps that hold the bikes together and to the car failed miserably and broke in multiple places over a few days. To be clear, the bikes were still secure on the frame - the frame was good. But the bumper that hold the bikes together broke in 6 different places over a few days. Seems the rubber could not handle the sun. Would not recommend this rack unfortunately until that is fixed.

It Was a Great Rack Until...
I bought a new car in May at the start of the Summer here in North America and needed a new Bicycle Rack that was compatible with the Car-Make-Model. This rack was perfect. I used it for three months without an issue. Then one day I needed to use the Locking Feature of the rack as I was going into a store after a ride. The Right Hand Lock will not Unlock making the Rack unusable. This Rack would have been a Five Star but.....

LOOKS LIKE A GREAT 2 BIKE CARRIER
WHEN I OPENED THE BOX I STARTED TAKING THE DIFFERENT COMPONENT BOXES AND STARTED TO ASSEMBLE, BUT I NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE LOCKING TABS WAS BROKEN!!!! i THINK IT IS A VERY WELL MADE PRODUCT BUT THE BOX OR THE WAY IT WAS PACKAGED WAS THE REASON THAT THIS ARRIVED DAMAGED

Once configured, simple to set up
The instructions & YouTube video make the installation an almost-no-brainer, but the fit of various components is hard & made me pause multiple times to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. In particular, the arms holding the bike were hard to insert to the required depth, and the springs holding steel cables short are very stiff, making pulling the cables to latch on the top of the trunk/tailgate difficult. Once adjusted (and removed), it is super-simple to put back on, with no guessing of where to position (dictated by the two legs adjusted to proper length at the first installation) or how hard to tighten (indicated by clicking knobs). It feels rock-solid when mounted and the integrated locks (for the unit and for the bikes) are a big plus. Instructions around the "Plastic Spoiler Reinforcement Straps", optional for cars with plastic spoilers, could use more clarity. E.g., I ended up not using the straps after studying closer how the latches grab onto the tailgate, but the instruction just say to always use with plastic spoiler.
