Hi all.
We have a 2019 5door hatch back, we are looking at bike racks, family of four, so we need to be able to carry the 4 bikes with us. You can't seem to carry on 4 bikes on the boot, so will need to split between the roof and the boot.
The wife isn't keen on having a tow bar fitted, due to cost, the car is on a lease, so will likely be handed back after 4 years, however I feel that's the best option.
Can anyone recommend a bike rack for the boot and then a roof bar/kit too?
 
Thanks, that's the exact hatch rack I was looking at. I've been offered the Fiat bars at a pretty reasonable price from our dealer, but like you say, once you add the bike carriers on, it's still getting expensive.
 
I have two montblanc roof carriers on my punto, they are very well made and spend all their time on the car. They lock to the car and you can lock the bike to the carrier. You can put two facing forwards and two facing backwards so you can get 4 on the roof if wanted. This is probably the cheapest option compared to buying roof bars, roof carriers, and a rear mounted or tow bar mounted rack with a tow bar. These accessories can get very expensive. I got my cycle carriers used off eBay for a fraction of their new price.
