Spend the extra and get the swing away rack if you have a SUV or a hatchback with the rear hatch opening. Sports Rack has them for under $300 when on sale. SportsRack makes Thule, and its very much alike in function, no plastic, no inflated price. But for 100, this should be pretty great.
It does swing away by removing pin at bottom front joint. Am I missing something. I have a Allen 4 bike deluxe. By fluke I got it for $20 at Meijer couple of winters back when they were on clearance(80% off). Works great.

I have the premier (heavy rubber clamps instead of straps) and have liked it. The hitch pin hole is only 1/2", so i drilled it to 5/8 on one side so i could use my uhaul locking hitch pin. Getting 5 larger bikes on this is a real challenge, but 4 is simple. I've driven them 2 hours in the rain without any problems.

A few too many reviews of the bar bending or snapping and dropping the bikes on the road while driving.

We got this swing down Thule bike rack for about $180 a few months ago from local academy store...

I bought the premier version of this and wasn't happy. Seemed well made and sturdy, but the bikes were really close together -- I can't see how four would ever fit. It also wouldn't work with my wife's bike (Electra Townie) even with the adapter bar, mine barely worked, and the kids' (Also Electra) didn't fit either. (Also, it came from Amazon obviously used.)

We bought a Buzz Rack instead and were much happier.

But if you only have 2-3 bikes and they aren't oddly shaped Townie's, I think it's a good deal.

I had one of these top by racks but it could not hold mountain bikes or the kids bikes well. I bought a platform rack and it has worked great. These top bar racks are Ok but you need to know that you are very limited on the bikes you can transport.

If you have nice bikes get a standup rack. It will protect them from each other way beter.

We've had this rack for close to 7 years and it's worked well for us, even for a few cross-country trips. There is a pin you can remove that allows the rack to swing down which provides enough clearance to open a minivan rear gate.

Really the only two challenges with this are it is hard to get all 5 bikes on there at once because they are so close together, and it can be awkward to get bikes with non-standard frame styles to attach. For a couple of our bikes we had to get some adjustable "top tube" bars like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0817M1S8Y.

Overall we have been very satisfied with this rack. Our non-sale price 7 years ago was still like $15 more than this price, so this is a pretty good deal.
