RE: Which rack is better for an A4?

[Tom Haapanen <tomh@metrics.com>]

Opinions vary ... both are reputed to be good racks, but I found
especially the Yakima too fiddly to install for my liking.

Eventually we settled on a Saris.  About the same price, but with
extruded aluminum load bars instead of just round or square painted
steel bars.    Also includes an integrated locking system.  It's on my
wife's '95 Golf GTI right now, and will also get used on my A4 1.8T
quattro once it arrives.
