This is half the price of a VW T5 carrier and is perfect if you just want to take 2 bikes. My husband and me are hopeless at self assembly stuff, so we look a few deep breaths and took our time over this one and were proud of our efforts. It went together well and we've used it a few times now and it is very sturdy. It sits quite high on the boot, but this is to avoid the number plate etc, so lifting the bikes up to it is a bit hard for weakling me. Nice bit of kit. Doesn't obstruct rear view vision as much as the 4 bike VW version when bikes not on.
