Too low. Zombies and crackheads are going to get hung up on the undercarrige, and dragging them for miles is going to really mess up fuel economy.

Bah, the ultimate apocalyptic ride would be a Unimog running on SVO/WVO. Available fuel, amazing ground clearance, and controls designed to be easy to operate while driving down a burning mountainside.

And ya'all thought 4x4s were worthless... That ground clearance is GREAT for clearing zombies!!!
Hmmm, now to figure out how to decapitate them automatically...

I'd just install a cow...ehh, zombie catcher on the front. 
I wonder why they specifically chose a 1989 model (and showed a gen1 CRX)?

I'd get a big ole' Diesel from a military reserve with a brush guard for Ramming zombies and the big gun on the back would be for shooting them after you ran them over!
Then convert it to SVO for quicker fill-ups (WVO would take too long to make and if you run out, you can't wait the time to make more!)
The HF would be great until you have to go around the road full of zombies. Ram them and you might total the HF, go around and you might total it trying to go through the ditch! Sounds good until the zombie population is huge.
