I have no problem going offroad or on bad roads with this car;
The car is not lowered (yet). Even if it is a base model, I have the sport styling.
I have not tried with my kayak yet. But I dont see any problem there if you have a good roof rack system. Thule make good ones. I have a old Thule system and it works fine. I have no pictures of it on the car yet.
