Carrying a bicycle
It's a tight fit but a Specialized Hardrock Sport just barely fits in the back seat if I remove the front wheel. Throwing in a blanket that I don't care about makes it low risk for the interior, somehow I could never bring myself to use a bike rack or hitch rack on an Evo.
I have a Yakima trunk mount and I have an SSS wing and I am able to carry two bikes without an issue. The handle bars on my bikes do rub the wing a little but have not caused any damage. I have no issue with this setup.
last car had a trunk rack, PITA and messes up the paint a lil. Not good in the twisties heading up to the trails either. First week I had the EVO, my 59cm road BARELY fit, had about 1inch of give. The 29er MTB was even a tighter fit with the wider bars. Roof rack is the only way to go, don't have to take it off like a trunk or hitch, nor will you find a hitch for a EVO X unless custom. I can carry 3 bikes on top w/o any problems, front wheels takes up a spot in the back seat so no need for a 4th tray. I ride 3-6 days a week so I use my rack ALLOT and love it. Downside is MPG but hey we got EVOs so MPG sucks anyways or you're not driving it right
This. There is no room for for a bike in the car. Maybe if you get one of those folding bikes.. 
I would get a roof rack. They look pretty good..

Actually just tossed my old iron horse mountain bike so it didnt fall on the evo and damage it



I know this is on a lancer but for those who have the regular wing or no wing this will give u an idea of what works. I am also pretty sure that with the tall wing this rack would also work.
I had a picture of the rack holding 2 heavy mountain bikes but I dont know where it went.
Bike rack is Hollywood Baja 2 rack. I have been using this setup for quite sometime now with 0 issues.
The blue painters tape was removed and replaced with custom kit 3m clear bra (bought a portion of a roll of it online). Without the clear bra I dont even want to know what our fabulous
paint would look like after using this rack
.
I wound up picking up the Yakima Q Tower system. Mainly because besides transporting bikes, I want to be able to throw some snowboards on it in the winter. You can't put boards on trunk rack, can you? Well, you def can't put a kayak on a trunk (which I also do occasionally)
I got the Q Towers, Q clips, crossbars, 6 SKS locks, and the Raptor Aero bike mount.
Direct from Yakima they wanted $630 including shipping. But I took the part numbers and plugged them into Amazon and got the same setup (including shipping) for $522

I just priced out what I ordered from Amazon, and they want $485 for the same set up. Too bad I hadn't heard of ORS before I ordered... Although buying from Amazon, I was able to use some AMEX points so it was even less out of pocket for me. And even with standard shipping, I got everything in 2 days...
went Yakima and Copperhead trays. Holds both roadies and MTB w/ disc brakes fine. I got the bundle kit with 2 trays and 6 locks then add flaring and 3rd tray. I always have 2 trays on, the 3rd is put on only for planned trips to races/mt road trips. 29er and roadie wheel won't really fit in the trunk nor do I want to force the issue. Backseat is fine for it, I don't want any more drag up on top then needed. I carved canyons at good speeds w/ 3 MTB on top so they make some good stuff.
You'll be happy with the setup, I love mine and wouldn't ever take it off.
