My 2017 Volt air deflector scrapes every time I pull into my steepish driveway. What srcapes is a flexible rubber piece, not the frame or body. After 4 months of this it still doesn't show any damage or wear. I was concerned at first but I now longer care because it appears that this piece will withstand the daily scraping.
2017 Steep Driveway and concerns about Ground Clearance
I am considering buying a 2017 Volt. I have a very steep driveway. However, my landlord has a low riding Prius with ground clearance of about 5.5 inches and she doesnt have problems. Anyway, a friend of mine who has a 2013 Gen 1 Volt with air dam already removed still scraped the bottom when trying to back in. I called a Chevy dealership, and they said the Gen 2 Ground Clearance is higher than Gen 1. However I cant find any info on this anywhere online, or specifically, how much higher the ground clearance on Gen 2 Volt vs Gen 1. I really want this car, but if I cant get into my driveway, I cant charge the car. Does anyone have any insight here? THANK YOU!
