My car (a 2001 Ford Escort) is not listed in the instructions, but the trunk is similar in size to the Ford ZX2, so I used those measurements.
Installation was a bit of a hassle, but that was because my trunk would not shut once the rack was on. The hook on the left hand side was blocking the trunk from closing. After opening and then slamming down the trunk (with the rack attached), finally the trunk closed for good. The rack was secure.
I haven't put three bikes on the rack yet, but two weekends ago I did have two on there. The rack worked like a champ. I did not go on any major highways, but I was on some bumpy roads. No problems at all.
Last weekend I put my bike on the rack and drove on 83 (in Baltimore County) and the rack was fine.
My only con with this rack is that my girlfriend's bike frame does not fit the rack. Luckily she has a quick release tire and I can fit her bike in my back seat. Still though... that kind of defeats the whole purpose, but is something I should have checked on before purchasing the rack.
