Do big/chubby drivers fit in the VX?

[reptiles]

Greetings,

I'm looking to purchase my first VX but I've never actually drove one (or even sat inside.)

In reading the posts in this forum, and the reviews online... I see persistent references to "designed for the Japanese market" or for "Gen X'ers" or targeted to ironmen (athletes) etc.

So until I actually do a test drive, could someone possibly comment on the possibility of a 40something, out-of-shape baby boomer fitting in a VX?

I do have a belly, and currently drive another small vehicle (looks like a 94 Mitsubishi Eclipse, but its badged as Eagle Talon) but still...

Are there any large guys or plus size girls in the VX?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,

Mark

P.S. I lost 12 pounds since Jan 1st and I'm going to the gym every other day.

What kind of lbs are we looking at? The only fit problem might be that the seats could go back another inch further for us that are taller than 6 ft. Otherwise you should be fine.

I'm 5'10 and 265. I'm hoping to lose at least another 50 pounds.

Geez thats fine. I would not worry untill you hit the 400's.

Mind you, you could be 3'11" and 73lbs, and you'd still have a tough time getting into the back seats... The front seats, though, are less of a problem. I wouldn't want to fit any 7' people in there, though.

LMFAO. I am... well I dont know how tall I am but Um 6' with heels?? I am around 276 or something like that and I fit fine in back and front seat. Well a squeeze to get into the back with the seat but if you know trick its not that hard.. And no i dont climb through the back door , But ya plenty of roam no sweat.


Seriously it has alot of room so you shouldnt have a problem.


Edit::: Oh and if you my friend can fit in a talon you cant deffinately fit in a VX

I'm 6'6" @ 250+/- a few pounds. I fit comfortably, just have to tilt my head when I know I'm about to hit a bump or something so I don't bang my head on the ceiling. It is also pretty easy to get in and out of the rear seats.

On another note, its nice to find another fellow 1g dsm driver. I'm working on buying my third 1g dsm

6'3", 200lbs. (you guys make me feel tiny) Unless you have kids, pull the back seats out, much more useful without them, and no one(older than 10) in their right mind is gonna want to sit back there anyway

Actually, I've always owned AWD/4x4 cars/trucks and a turbo is always a nice touch. I wonder if I can adapt a Mitsu 4G63T engine in a VX --that would be sick.

I have three 1G cars now; two are street legal (one is in upstate NY and is only used for ice racing) I love restoring and modding vehicles.

Cheers,
