I've been driving minivans since 1995. Everything goes inside, out of
the weather, and much safer from thieves. Fuel economy does not degrade
when they're in there, but on the downside, the frontal area of the car
is always fairly large. Much of my car's driving is to work and back,
for which the large size is not needed. But it's real handy when it's
time to take a bunch of people--and cycles somewhere.
Before that, I had a Subaru wagon. Hard to fit in all the stuff (and
people) along with a 45" big wheel and an artistic bike. So I got one of
the earliest of the hitch-mounted racks. It was a very primitive design,
but it worked well. As Tom said, if you don't already have a trailer
hitch it could be a problem. That was the biggest hassle with mine, as I
had to get a hitch installed. But the rack worked fine and went on and
off easily.
Otherwise I highly recommend you try any racks in the stor first, to see
what works and what doesn't. Be aware of fat tires that might have
trouble fitting on there.
