Thanks everybody. I've checked out the Thule Criterium at REI, looks very 
well designed.

I consider that hitch mounted bicycle racks are a better solution, by far 
(easy loading/unloading, accommodate virtually any bike, most will even 
tilt to access trunk, safe...).

The only downside I found (noted by some above) is that if you have baskets 
(even the small Wald wire one), it can get crowded.


Anyway, owners manual say towing with our Jetta sportswagen TDI (automatic) 
will void warranty. Apparently, this a new restriction with 2013 models. 
Lawyer thing probably.

Wording in unclear to me, is "having a tow bar installed and exclusively 
used with a bike rack" (that's 40kg total max). considered "towing".


Pierre.
