    3 should be fine. Fit the middle one facing opposite way to give handlebar clearance. I had 4 of the 561 model on my wagon at one point.

    Just make sure your roof rails will take that load. 3 or 4 bikes on racks creates a *lot* of drag at speed.

    As above, should be able to get 4 racks on the roof bars. If you get roofbars look for ones that are the full width of the car.

    If they're TT bikes it will be fine.
