Not true. Your definition of practical might be different than mine. If I can drive to work and back, it's 100% as practical as it would be otherwise. My car is that height for the summer. I've had no problems at all. Daily driven with atleast 100kms a day. Also drove a 2300km road trip from Toronto to Maryland, with one passenger (big guy), full cooler in the back seat, 3 full luggage peaces, and 2 150+pc tool sets in the back. Practical enough for me. Can I go offroad like an Outback? No, and don't plan on it. Though, I have driven dirt roads. As long as you slow down for speedbumps and lot entrances, there are no issues. Chuck or someone else from Toronto can vouch for how shitty Kingston road east of Coxwell is. That is my daily commute. Also have many friends in the VW community, we all know how low those guys go
