Any recommendations for a rack that would fit a Yeti, or am I better off getting a tow bar mounted system?

If you already have a tow bar get a rack for it, they're just easier to use! If you don't have one already the costs can add up pretty quick....

I regret not getting the tow bar when I ordered the car. It's £720 to retrofit it!

Have a look on the Briskoda forum if you haven't done already. There's a few threads on carriers in the Yeti section.

Saris Bones fits almost anything. I've been very pleased with mine.

Witter do a detachable unit (great quality) fitted for £580 (Single Electrics) - We got our Audi done through them and would recommend.

Witter Towbars very good, I had one on my Saab Convertible. The Thule 3 bike rack for this cost me £190. It's really good, the main bonus being you can still open the boot with it fitted and its also super quick to fit/remove. Bikes easy to mount.

The next best option is a set of Roofbars and the Thule 591s.

Both very safe and sturdy solutions. It is obviously going to take more muscle to get the bikes on and off a roof mounted rack, which is okay at the start of a ride, but isn't so much fun afterwards, particularly with multiple bikes!

Skoda do a internally mounted rack which is a doddle to fit and not particularly expensive. I should point out it doesn't work with Maxle/bolt through axle which some MTB's have. (don't know about road bikes)
