It's low enough to make me nervous in certain situations...but not low enough to make me regret "trying it anyways", when I do...

I have to go out of my driveway at a 45 degree angle. Not an issue. One does have to be mindful though to ensure you can go up an incline prior to doing so. Avoid steep angles.

I back in where ever I can. The rear view camera in the mirror helps a lot with that

I never park forward, I reverse park 99% of the time.. And you have to be carefull when coming out of a petrol station, :P I scraped the lip once and believe me it will be the last time...

Speed bumps are OK, but in a Kroger Parking lot they had a drainage dip that I went over a little fast and lightly scraped. Gotta watch for everything....
