the crossbars are cheap and, contrary to popular belive, in my experience didn't reduce the mpgs significatively. I didn't feel that the Aerodyamic was too compromised either (just noise). Mounting the bikes on the roof is not too bad with these cars height wise. I recently changed to a hitch mount because I got an SUV (roof is a problem). When I drive the Saab with the hitch rack I feel that someone is holding me back. Also, if you don't have a hitch you will incurr in that expense...In my opinion, go for the roof that doesn't require to remove the front wheel....Oh, also the hitch makes your car longer for parking....
