Yeah, I think that rack is just much better designed. I really wanted to go for a 1up rack, but this car and my previous one only have a 1 1/8 hitch available so are limited to a single instead of a double.
What is your radio setup?

It's a Kenwood DMX 1037s
If you want to expand your options with the hitch, I found it to be fairly straight forward to cut off the 1 1/8 receiver and replace it with a 2 inch to allow the use of that rack.
And there's this too:
it fits under the cargo shelf in the hatch area.

Thanks. I was browsing Crutchfield the other day and basically all aftermarket radios that support android auto/carplay are out of stock. Perhaps related to the chip shortage?
I really wanted the hitch to just work and not turn it into another project. I can unload the bike before I open the hatch, or reach in through the rear seat. Its an annoying design, but not a big deal. But I may need to mod it for the window clearance. For now I guess I can loosen the stem and clock the bars on my bike when I'm carrying 2 (not that often).
Wow, its been a year since I updated this.
I changed the motor mounts. Not sure if I mentioned that before. Even with brand new OE mounts, the engine flop is kind of silly. To the point where I feel like a moron every time I try the 1-2 shift when cold. Also, when loading up the engine to "launch" with even mild acceleration, the engine will flop like there is no motor mounts at all. The only car I have ever experienced this on was a NA miata where both motor mounts where completely broken.
So I put poly bushings in the old torque axis mount and reinstalled that. The driving is much better, but the vibration is terrible.
So not really sure what a good solution is. Kicking around the idea of 3d printing a small shim to go inside the rubber void in the stock rubber mount there to help control the motion of the stock mount a little bit.
I'm not exactly sure what is going on... this is the same engine mount arrangement as a veloster, including the N, and surely that doesn't have any of these issues.
Other than that I have just changed the oil. The appliance does appliance things fairly well, except the gas mileage is not great.
