go on to Thule web site put in your car details and it will tell you the models that suit

He has mentioned though he'd like it by the end of this week. Could be a tad tight finding someone to order in and fit a towbar by Friday.

A bigger problem is the "bargains" point! It's hard to call maybe £600 of towbar fitting and bike rack a bargain, isn't it?

The 9105 and 9106 are the high-mount siblings - RRP £235.

I got a 9104 at Decathlon for £75.00

My towbar was fitted within two days. Lots of places do them.

If, as aforementioned, his model of Yaris is even one of the ones with EU type approval for a Towbar (mine wasn't).

Yes, the low-mounts are far cheaper options if you can fit a lighting board easily.

That'll be one of those smashing window-smashing ones that @Drago was warning about, from the looks of the picture and the instruction booklet. I'm moderately surprised they're allowed to advertise them as suitable for hatchbacks. High-mount ones which rest on the roof like Thule or Peruzzo are far better IMO.

Took bike to France a few years ago in a yaris.Compared to my car seemed like free fuel !!

The Yaris belongs to SHMBO. I have her old Aygo, now there's fuel efficiency - it runs on vapour.

I'd go for towbar mounted and spend some decent money. Thule are your best bet.

Indeed, I'll probably only use it this once as I rarely take the bike in the car - I ride the thing!

Thanks, I was looking at that one earlier. It'll only ever be carrying one bike as I'm the only person in the house that cycles.

OK, so in the end I got a B'TWIN 320 cycle carrier.

The bottom straps aren't very good since they are too sharp for the rounded trim on my tailgate. I did manage to secure them in the internal handle recess of the tailgate but I will make some new ones at work. Otherwise very pleased with it.
