Any thoughts of roof racks (for bike)
Is the one in the Audi catalog ok? Or better to go with Thule or something from a retail store?
Any fitment issues?
I'm debating getting the rack, but then I doubt I'd use the rack very often, can you fit 2 mountain bikes (front tires removed) in the trunk of an A4 with the seats folded down? In that case I'd rather get something else. ...

Can only fit 1 bike in back w/ front tire off, seat off helps, too..
...PITA getting it in and out, as well. If you're going to be biking a lot with a MTB or if you have a road bike, I'd suggest getting the roof rack.
Let me know what you find during your searches. I'm considering one as well.

I've got the yakima, and really like it. Really easy to take on and off.

I'm on my second Yak
More pictures in my Pic Poster of the current setup. Previous was on a '89 Prelude (sold to bro with car). Both work great without issues.
