I have the Thule XTR Pro and I love it. Was it expensive? Yes. Is it heavy? Yes (but it has wheels). Is it bulletproof?! As far as I can tell pretty much. It's sturdy and I can take 2 bikes anywhere I go. If I'm taking more than that I'll just throw the other ones in the truck bed. That's VERY rare.

There's definitely an increase in noise vs not having it there but with the windows up it's not super noticeable. I can't compare it to other racks as I've never had another one on there.
