Trunk rack advice/experience?

I was perusing a site that has a few trunk racks on sale and I wanted
to ask if anyone had experience with some of them.

Trunk racks suck, especially if you are trying to put more than 1 bike
on them. Hitch racks are much more stable under load, and much less
likely to damage either your car or your bikes.

I use the Saris Bones when I have to carry my bike on my car. Never more
than one bike. Bones has a wide range of vehicle fits. Cannot recommend
others.

My vehicles are a Saturn SL2 hatch with a spoiler and a Volvo V70
wagon. If I can get an adjustable rack, I'd like to be able to use it
on either, so please include your experience with adjusting a rack in
your response. One or the other vehicle may be replaced within two
years or so, which is why I do not want to install hitches or roof
mounts.

I'd like to get a 3-bike rack if I'm looking at something that is easy
to adjust. If it is difficult, then I may opt for a 2-bike rack now
with the intention to upgrade in a few years when my infant will have
his own bike.

The models on the site include:

Sportrack Portage DLX 3 Bike Trunk Rack, on sale for $60.
Saris Bones Trunk Racks (3 Bike), on sale for $140
Sportrack Voyager III Trunk Rack, on sale for $70
Saris Sentinal 3 Bike Trunk Rack $60

Obviously, there is a huge price difference between the Saris Bones and

the Sportrack models. Does anyone have experience with these models?

TIA,
Dave
