Cons:
Have to be careful about dirt on pant legs
After 2 years starting to have uneven stain on Aluminum
I would get them again because of the door ding protection, the appearance and for putting my bikes on the roof. However, I agree that for many they may have limited functionality.

You summed it up pretty well right here, not as functional as they are esthetic, and most would opt to get them again. I think they would actually have some functionality for us as we have smaller children that could use them as steps. If we find one without running boards and I install them I could always remove them if we really wanted to.
Thanks to all who gave input!
