Ground clearance

Anybody know how much ground clearance? We have some rough roads and the more ground clearance the better for me... like 6" would be great!

Would ground clearance be the same for Basic and Sport?

Thanks for the info from down under!

I would assume so. Not many models of Honda do they change the spring rate between models in the same chasis.

Factory lowered/sports suspension is avail but only in the JDM. Bodykits/skirts/under spoilers will effect ground clearance.

The Jazz/Fit is runs quite stable on dirt roads and ground clearance is such that you can mount a reasonable kerb when necessary.

Go to Fit Pics on this forum, and click on "My Honda Jazz Pampanga". There are a couple of photos of the car, which has "ground effects" trim, sitting on top of a speed bump. The cars looks like it has the ability to clear the speed bump with no problem. Those are the best photos I've seen yet that show ground clearance.
