Ground Clearance

Let's hear some feedback from the new FIT owners regarding ground clearance. Are there any issues with scraping curbs, speed bumps, parking space bumpers, etc.? I hate when that happens.

At the dealer when I was putting a deposit on one, the blue exl navi returned from a test drive and pulled up to the curb almost touching the parking stop... Looks like the bumper cleared just fine. Of course later I saw a sales guy drive an accord off the curb slowly, so maybe it's not a super tall curb...

I have this deep dip near the Wendy's by my house. If I go fast, I know from experience in the Mazda 6 I had that it'll hit the bumper. If I go slow though it's fine, so the fit is fine art least. Haven't scraped bumper on any parking stops yet.

If you can, try hitting dips like that at an angle, changes the way a car sits and will allow you to clear it often times.

Drive way bumper at my apartment complex, as one see's in some parking lots, and if I drive in slowly, forward or backwards, I do not hit it, but my tires do.
