I am using a 2" hitch bike rack at the back of my sienna. For Saab 9-3, the dealer mentioned that they have 1 1/4" hitch. With multiple bikes in the back, it seems adding a bit sway in the rear when making turns. However, it is much easier to put on bikes without damage the paint. For the roof top, my concern is that lower garage roof and parking structure limitation. In addition, drivers may forget additional height requirement and damage the bike, car roof, or your garage frame.
The bike rack connect to the hitch is a bit heavy and take about 10 minutes to install, and take up some space. My rack is Thule with build-in lock. An adapted cross bar may be required for kid bike or mt bike (get from performance bike for $15 to $20 a piece). The saab 1 1/4" hitch was quoted about $250 by dealer.
s.t.
