2006 Forester Bike Rack (Roof or Rear)
Considering purchasing a bike rack for our 2006 Forester. It came with roof racks, so the hard part is done. I've done a little bit of searching online and found some twin racks for about $240-$250.
I also found a single bike rack for $55. That would be significantly cheaper seeing that I could buy 2 for $110. Here's the link:

We don't have a towing package, so for rear attachments, we need to use the trunk hook up. Here is a Thule (up to 3 bikes) for $122-150: http://www.autoanything.com/bike-racks/65A3911A0A0.aspx
Here is a Yakima (up to 3 bikes) $135: http://www.autoanything.com/bike-racks/69A4020A0A0.aspx
Any opinions or help? Should I look for a brand name like Yakima? Or does Subaru make one?
Thank you,

Cost is the only disadvantage. If you can make use of the hitch for other things, it's worth it. I towed small trailers with mine.
