In the early 70s I was driving in the middle of the night, in a 914, in the fog on a raised causeway alongside a lake. I hit a dead deer laying across my lane. I went airborne but landing bouncing and stayed in my lane avoiding an on-coming semi in the opposing lane by inches.
I would think the Kia Soul had similar ground clearance issues to my case.
No. The Kia would have way more ground clearance. The 914 has about 3"-4". I've measured it.
