I chose the Thule 460R over the similar Yakima mounting system just based on looks. I know that's bad, but I liked the aero bars from Thule better than the round Yakima bars. Personal taste though, right? As for the actual 460R mounting pack, they were easy to install and setup. They're solid and fit the car snugly. My only suggestion is to also buy the locking system that goes along to help keep your investment from being stolen.

Be careful when you buy this items here; there are no specs for what tpe of Bar will or will not fit. I had to refer to the Thule website just to make sure I was ordering for every part to fit. Also when you buy these you have to order a Foot Kit which is not mentioned here either.
All in all great item but be make sure you're buying everything you need to put everything together on your specific car model. Oh! and make sure you get some locks cause they do not come with the foot packs either!

I got a new car with a different type of roof rail so needed new "feet" for my rack.
I've used Thule systems since the mid 90s so am biased and have no experience with Brand X or Y.
I used the Thule website to be sure I was ordering the right items.
It leads you to retailers so you can quickly look for competitive prices - Amazon seemed to be a good choice.
The new feet fit my Audi Avant rails perfectly.
The instructions are all visual vs. verbal so it takes a little time to "get" them. However the installation is a snap.
They feel secure on the rack - I can't budge them using "reasonable" force so I am confident they won't fly off the car with my bike attached when I hit 75 mph.
The covers are a bit hard to fit - one of the four seems to not line up as well as the other three.
I was able to use my old locks.
