Recently chatted with a few model 3 owners, found out that most of them experienced scraping of the bottom due to high bumps or uneven ramps during driving. Can felt it hurt since its new car. sedan owners quite kesian, more prone to flood damage, unideal road conditions damaging car... etc, feel like only can go suv if wan to avoid these external problems as much as possible.
Existing sedan owners, how do live with this experience and will you opt for it again?
All the aspects you mentioned on bottom of vehicle scraping bumps or ramps and flood damage, throughout my 25+ years driving sedans I have not experienced it before. Scrapping of bottom of vehicle only happens if the car is lowered to the ground mostly modified ones. A friend with modified Honda which has low ground clearance has to drive the car not only very slowly when going over speed bumps but positioning the car sideways instead of straight to prevent the bump from scraping the bottom of the car.Existing sedan owners, how do live with this experience and will you opt for it again?
As for floods, any car can be affected including SUV if the water is high enough.
Back to the question, I have no problem considering another new sedan if it appeals to me. As a matter of fact I have always favoured sedan over SUV mainly for better handling and drivability being lower to the ground, and a boot to store things unlike hatchbacks.
We recently got a new Nissan Almera sedan, driven by my dad. For my next car, the upcoming Nissan Kicks is at the top of the shortlist, not because it's an SUV but mainly for the hybrid drivetrain.
