    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.

    In all my reading I've never encountered any mention of the VX being built for a Japanese market (almost all the VXs were sent to the US) or for "Gen X'ers" (are they smaller).

    I'm XL and there's plenty of room. Seats adjust forward and backward. Steering wheel adjusts up and down.

    I could not, however easily get in or out of the back seat area. It's actually easier to go through the back door, close it behind you and climb over the rear seats and let someone else drive. The back seat area is huge when you're in it.

    Find a VX and get in. Set up behind the steering wheel and FEEL IT. There's nothing like driving a VX!!!

    I have two.

    I'm 6'3" and 250lbs and find all the seats comfortable and have no difficultly getting in or out of the back. When I first test-drove in '99 the rear entry/egress was a little tricky, but if you can get someone my size in the back of a Karmann Ghia then anything is possible.

    The best advice yet. From the moment I test drove a 99 Kaiser, my mind was made. I have never been in another vehicle that has the feel of a VX.

    Good luck!
