I've had my '06 Civic for about a month now, and yes I've gotten used to it. For
me it took about two weeks to really get a good feel for where the front end is
at.

I haven't hit anything (knock on wood) due to it, but I have scraped the very
bottom of the bumper on one of those concrete parking lot partitions. But I
used to do that fairly often with my old car, too, so that's probably a personal
quirk.
