Welcome to the fold! You'll find a few TDI owners as well here, so we're a pretty diverse bunch but all appreciate the uniqueness of the VX. As far as reliability goes, look no further than the venerable Isuzu Trooper and Rodeo line, which shares the drivetrain and many common components with the VX. Isuzu has always been one to not "re-invent the wheel" on most assemblies meaning you can find many of the same parts across their light and medium truck lines, things such as door handles, cockpit controls and dash components. So many things cross with the exception of sheet metal and a few interior components. There are differing points of views regarding the engine, but basically take care of it and it'll take care of you.

As Snowtrooper alludes you can find uniqueness even within the VX lineup, and for the truly rare find yourself a Kaiser Silver with the Red interior as there were only 15 made. Have fun! :bgwp:
