I would be concerned that you wouldn't be able to see small cars if your
line of sight was from the dashboard (Roof height on a Rabbit) out over the
bottom of the hatch window (Also roof height of a rabbit)...
It would be even worse if you had stuff in the middle and back seats, or in
the cargo area that was higher than the seat back.
