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.
