I usually learn after the first couple times ... the HCH I isn't a long car at all, more than likely you could park about 5 ft futher back if you are hitting the curb and still be in the space, TRUST ME, I used to drive a 20 ft long vehicle ... these cars are much shorter than the spaces. If you don't think you can stop an extra few inches back, the turn around and back in. I garauntee you won't bottom out the back on a curve. The aerodynamic benefits are bigger than you may think. The less air under your car the better. You must have some rather tall parking curbs as well. But thanks for the heads up, I will make sure I won't hit a curb now! Good luck and be careful!!!
