Strengths: rack holds two mountain bikes, travels well at highway speeds, haven't lost a bike taking sharp turns yet, install and removal is a cinch considering there are only 4 straps instead of 6, all straps are on a ratchet system where they wind into unit, unit comes with locks, you can lock the rack to the car and the bikes to the rack (although if someone wants it they are going to take it), it did not leave dents in trunk.Weaknesses: the unit is heavy, I mean it's heavy for a bike rack but considering how well it holds the bikes it's not really a complaint, it's not really heavy, about as heavy as a downhill bike. The price is kinda steep but again considering what it does compared to other racks it is worth the money, I got a deal because they had it mis-labled on their site and I called them on it and they matched it, thye give you a setup chart for your each individual car, I found that the setup they gave me was incorrect and had to move the adjuster to the next level in order to get the bikes to sit level, the rack with or without the bikes will cause your car to have horrible gas mileage, but that goes without saying with any bike rack.Bottom Line: I have had compliments on the rack and if you don't want to spend the money on a roof rack that is car specific or don't want to commit to a hitch type rack this is the next best thing.
