I am sort of joking around a bit. I wrote this with the bias that all syncro owners should prepare their vans to go off-road but of course not all wish to prepare their vans so they can be used this way.

The spoiler hangs down low, and makes a syncro of doubtful utility off-road because the spoiler hits things like rocks or obstructions. Among other things, it hangs up while you approach little hillocks that you intend to drive over.
