WRT to the tow hitch mounted bike racks, I bought an adapter from Yakima that allows the rack I use on my 4Runner (2") to be used on the smaller Fit hitch. It was $26 and kept me from buying another $200 rack. After having bike racks for years on various vehicles, I now prefer the hitch mounted ones. Your bikes don't get covered in bugs, your mileage doesn't suffer as much, my wife who's only 5'4" can easily put the bikes on the rack, and there's no chance of pulling into the garage with bikes on top of the car. If you really want to spend the big bucks you can get one that swings out of the way when you want to open the rear hatch but I don't mind lowering the rack arm to allow access.
