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

    The seat extenders are a very good option if the rear seat needs to be used for passengers but you do lose 4" of slide adjustment on the passenger seat (rearward). This hasn't been a problem for us but thought I'd give you the warning.

    Also, if you do have a tendancy to enter your VX from the rear, I installed Tone's receiver hitch & then added a folding step. It makes life much simpler. Mine still functions as a step even though it doubles as my rear license plate mount (just have to get the &^$% LED lights working on it).

    One last suggestion would be to add the NERF bars. They help with entrance/egress issues since our seats are somewhat on the tall side.

    Since everyone else 'fessed up', I will too. I'm 5'9" and 200 lbs. My only issue is that I'm always hitting my head on the grab handle while driving.

    okay

    5:6 275 you bunch of light weights. By the way I fit fine except for the occasional head buts to the cieling or strap. I also was able to shove my dad in the back once he is in his 70s and about 5:10. Though I do not think I will get that opportunity again.

    heh! i beat everyone here! 5'7 135! (yes ONE thirty five!) haha.. i do hit my head on the ceiling on occasion but thats because philadelphia roads are awful.... a buddy of mine is 5'8 220 and he got himself into the back seat no problem, he also sat back there comfortably with a couple of girls for a 2 hour drive

    of course now i dont have back seats anymore... still have a few people ride back there on the floor though.. heh

    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,

    ICE RACING!!!! Oh yeah....you and I are gonna get along just fine:bwgr: I grew up in upper Bucks, my son does the "tuner" thing at a shop in Doylestown. I'm headed up that way later this year. We gotta get together. I'm gonna use the auto train, so even if I don't bring 0177, I'll bring something fun.
