Trailer Coupling Question

I am wondering whether anyone has had the retractable trailer coupling fitted to their car? I have been told by the dealer that the dealer fitted trailer coupling is identical to the factory fitted coupling. I particularly want to know how obtrusive the trailer coupling is when it is NOT in use. I only want to use the trailer coupling for a bike rack - not for towing.

You should consider the roof rack.. Just something to consider, I would never buy a car that had a trailer hitch on it.

Enem,

I too am interested in the trailer hitch. I ride a bicycle that I don't want to put on the roof. I have a roof rack for my other car and will only use it when absolutely necessary. I do not want my bike in the airflow which causes noise and the bike ends up like the windshield covered with bugs.
