DO NOT GET A ROOF MOUNT BIKE RACK.
EVER.
NO.
I know what you're thinking.
DONT DO IT.
Everyone I know that has had a roof mount bike tray has run into something with it - drive through, parking garage, home garage. Everyone. Get the hitch - at some point it will be useful to pull a utility trailer, too. And maybe you can pack a bumper dumper for your next camping trip
I've had a hitch on my last 3 cars, they're cheap from etrailer.com - bumper removal can be a pain, get two people, use lots of painters tape and a big blanket on the ground and buy extra clips and its not so bad.
