Strength:

Enough said in this site. My wife and I read the all the comments and reviews prior to buying the vehicle. She liked the one: "Some times I get more stares than a stripper with 38DD". After having the vehicle for two weeks, she told me - "that is soooooo true, it really does happen and that is why I will take this car away from you in another year! "

By the way, my wife is a size 8 with a 38D! I did not want more "stares"...


Enough said !!!!

Weakness:

- Wind noise in the back
- Rear seat accessibility
- Rear view visibility (I just purchased a "van eyes" from Pep Boys and cut it to the shape of the rear window defroster lines. Solved the problem and looks nice!). No need a fancy camera!!!

I liked the VX since it was first introduced in the US market. I personally thought was a little over-priced for the functionality ($32,000 MSRP). I decided to wait..hoping for a less "equipped" model (no Recaro seats, no CD, no chrome wheels, etc.) or for a 4 door model. Since neither the less equipped model nor the four door will be available, I decided to go for a pre-owned VX. It was worthwhile. I just got me a black beauty with just 17,000 miles and in impeccable condition. I love it!
The ride is incredible for this type / kind of vehicle. Although it is a 4x4, this vehicle is too cool for off-road activities. I rather keep it clean and avoid extreme off-road activities. I saw the pictures on www.moncha.com..that's about all I needed to know about how though, capable this vehicle is......thank you guys/gals for test driving this vehicle off-road for me.

My only question is: Will this vehicle become a collectible? The available vehicles says so (only 200 units imported per year?). The rapid depreciation on the price of the vehicle shows otherwise. It is up to VX owners to keep the value on the vehicle. The VX should retain its value around $15,000, in excellent condition, regardless of the year/mileage.

It is not an MG, but is it not a 1957 Corvette either. Is there a SUV that is a collectible, anyway?

Strength:

style, power, handling, interior comfort. the VIP purchase program through www.planetisuzoo.com

Weakness:

you know: the rear visibility. here's a tip: take the rear headrests off (how often do you carry passengers for extended trips?) and stash them inside the wheel of the spare tire! improves rear viz greatly. get Van Eyes from PepBoys (check the vmag message boards for details). another weakness: no full-sized spare :-( oh yes, you must open the rear hatch with the key (what were they thinking?) here's another you may not have heard: if you use the windshield washers while the driver window is open, prepared to get a tad wet; aerodynamics, etc. with all that said, i love the truck, everyone loves the truck, and hats off to isuzu for going out there to make this for those who dig it.

a totally unique vehicle with huge style points and a great motor. there may be more "issue-free" vehicles out there, but none that elicit quite the emotional reaction that this one gets. it drives really really well, on highways, backroads, and sand. if you like driving and need offroad capabilities, this is a serious one to look at.
