Default Actual front/back-end clearance

I know the ground clearance of a fully-loaded TT is 4.4", but what is it with one or two passengers? I have a steep driveway, and I don't want to have to worry about scraping the front (or back) end every time I pull in or out. Would someone mind measuring for me? My wife's Volvo has scraped so many times it's not even funny. Not that I won't buy the car, it's just that I may need to have my apron redone.

Approach your driveway at an angle, turn your frnt wheels when backing down off apron (nt)

Default clearance not a problem

I have a very steep driveway to deal with and the angle change is quite abrupt.

Most cars seem to bottom out when getting to the top of the drive.

However my TT does not scrape at all. I think the non-existant overhangs and stiff supension combine to keep it from scraping.

I have scrape the bottom of the front spoiler once by going way too fast out a driveway, but that was my fault.

My doors never hit the curb either. It almost defies physics.
