If its only for 2 bikes a rear mount one will be fine. I used one for first year or two of my XC90 ownership. Mine only held 2 bikes (although rack could have taken 3) but as stated above most of the weight will be resting on bumper if you use a bit of trial and error with the initial set-up/fit and support upper straps on the roof rails.
I now have a Thule towbar mounted one, however only because I need to carry 4 bikes now. Dont go to the expense of fitting towbar just for a bike rack.
