    For the most part I get compliments on it....like yesterday when my mechanic friend was checking things out for me before I head out on my 'across country trek' to see famiy....everyone working in the dealership came by to look at it (all curious). Most had never seen one up close, so they were pretty excited. One called it a vegicross...I corrected her quickly. My ex bf absolutely hated it and thought it was the ugliest thing on the road everytime I talked about it. The current bf...finally admited to me that he never liked it at first, but tells me that it has surely grown on him since being around me...the chick who has an overwhelming passion for it. So all in all, I think its 50/50. You either like it or you dont. I still think its the best suv ever produced even though I have some complaints about it every now and then. AND I love the looks the VX gets when we drive past people.

    The VX is a unique vehicle. I see lots of the same vehicles on the road but only another VX once in a while. If you put the VX in a line up with all other model SUV's, more people will ask about the VX that all others combined

    I think most boyfriends/spouses of girl VX owners get jealous. A girl loving her VX ride is just too much for some guys...

    My freinds like it, I am always the guy to drive when we car pool. The only gripe they have is getting in and out of the back seat. I used to get a negative comment here and there, is that a new RAV-4? It looks like a shoe, the usual. But since I have lifted it and put a winch on the front I get great comments "That thing is bad-***! what is it?" and "I bet that can go some places" and all the people I work with refer to it as "my buggy" which I love!

    I think it works both ways for sure...

    I was at a pizza joint the other days, sitting across from my wife. The VX was parked right outside and I had a clear view of it looking just past my wife. I said to her, "I like this seat honey, cause I can look at the VX while I eat".

    I don't think I need to explain what happened next.

    LOL, Bart!

    After six years of ownership I do the same thing. I sit looking out at the truck whenever I can and wear a silly smile on my face.

    Luckily I have a b/f who loves the VX just as much as me, but he always teases me by calling me a motorhead, which I'm not!

    Yeah, my wife likes the VX too, but anything that gets more attention that her....she slowly starts to hate

    I'm just very obsessive sometimes.
