Re: Ground Clearance

Ground clearance isn't excessive on both cars: I think about 5". You'll have to be careful parking up against curbs, and parking lot blocks and such but overall G/C is ok. Some of the owners have even lowered their rides an inch or so, so stock G/C can't be that bad. Either way you'll have to be careful where you park and how you drive.
I personally found it to be an inch or so less than my 2k2 Max S/E and my Contour S/E.

Re: Ground Clearance

For us peeps the choice is obvious. But there's quite a loyal group out there going back to the 70's for the Z and ZX.
The Z isn't that bad I wouldn't mind it in a 'pinch'. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Ground Clearance

According to Infiniti, the ground clearance for the sedan is 5.51". The coupe has 6.3". I'm rather surprised by this, as I've always thought the coupe had less.

Anyway, you have to be careful sometimes with ramps and even parking lot speed bumps.

Re: Ground Clearance

yeah there is enough clearance for speedbumps, but just be careful when parking against a parking block, i've scraped the bumper that way.
