Re: Bike rack
I've got a Saris Gran Fondo, fits just about any car type from what I've read
Re: Bike rack
I fitted bike carriers onto the roof bars of my Astra (also 2016!) - the hidden pop-up brackets on the car made a very secure fixing for the bars.
I needed to carry 4 bikes so was happier with roof bars rather than hanging them off the back.
Don't know about the Astra but some hatchbacks can't use the usual rear carriers, or impose quite severe weight restrictions.
Our current car has a towball mounted 2 bike carrier which I prefer, though there are pros and cons to all systems - YMMV

Seasucker Mini Bomber. Doesn't matter what car or what bike and will move from car to car with ease. No ugly, noisy roof bars to worry about, fits and removes in around 1 minute. Mine's in it's 5th year of service and still going strong.

Yes.
We have a Pendle system that stands up from the towball and will take 3. Doesn't touch the car. Comes apart and fits in the boot. Suits us.
