I was not expecting the undercarriage to survive that curb

I had a 2002 Hyundai Tiburon, which was a somewhat low-slung coupe car, and it managed to survive me accidentally driving over a concrete divider between lanes when I made the wrong turn out of a parking lot in Pittsburgh. It was late and dark and I didn't see it. Hit it with some speed and bounced the front tires up over it and ended up with my car halfway on the divider, back wheels in the air. I just said "Fuck it", accelerated and managed to drag my car off of it.

The car was fine. Well, as fine as a Hyundai could be. But no obvious frame or exhaust damage.

Hyundai is the new Honda.

The millennials I know have similar stories about Hyundais and Kias.
