I love this!

Too true. I literally goggled when I first saw the weight quotes for the Mazda3 back when it came out.
And the Focus... last one I drove was around 3200 lbs.And it felt like it.
Actually... that Sentra curb weight would pass for "lightweight" nowadays... as the lightest cars in the class (the Corolla and the Civic) weigh about that much... with puny 1.8 liter engines!
From what I've seen personally, a lot of guys will just raise the suspension & drive over it slowly. Those who can't usually go over it the best they can.I've always wondered... what do these guys do when they encounter a speed bump??? Drive over it diagonally? Avoid it at all costs? Only drive on smooth paved roads making parts of the city unreachable to them?
I kinda like that CR-V, I always thought it would be a cool idea for a sleeper to drop a B18C with a reasonably large snail into one of those.

I have a buddy with a lowered Cobra, who in his case, drives though the middle of speed bumps so that his exhaust doesn't scrape. All about driving a lot more cautiously.
Raising the car only works on airbags, but in that case it wouldn't be much of a problem. You can go over them diagonally, but in a lot of cases, you simply don't "encounter" speed bumps. You learn where you can and can't go. I can't remember the last time I had to go over a speed bump, simply because I avoid them. Bumpy roads aren't really a problem, but there are some entrances to places I can't go. Although usually there's another way in to most places, so I just use the one with less of a crest or dip in it.
One entrance to a gas station I frequent, the back wheels actually come off the ground when I enter, so I have to maintain a little speed when I pull in because I don't have an LSD, so if I stop with the wheels in the air I'll get stuck.
