2001 VX vs. 2001 Rodeo Sport - Make Up My Mind!

[PittVXr]

Should I go for the clearly higher "cool factor" VX, which will ride rougher, get worse fuel mileage, harder to access rear seats, less cargo capacity, and possibly have more/higher $ maintenance?

Yes.

Here's how you make your decision.

1) If your young (age or heart) = VX

2) If you old (age or heart) = Rodeo Sport

Now, go and make your decision.

Peace.

Where *I* come from, #1 above is called "lettin' the little head do the thinkin' for the big head", LOL! Obviously, with no kids and nuthin' but relatively impractical vehicles in the fleet already, I'm clearly "young at heart"...

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, I would say this is the wrong crowd to ask such a question. Clearly, the obvious answer is:

VX

HANDS DOWN.

Yeah, but at least I'd have more room in the Rodeo to load my Rascal in and out in a coupla years

Take the back seat out (takes me 2 minutes tops) and presto easy loading and plenty of room for a rascal, heck you could probably make a ramp for it!

Okay, I have had both of these vehicles. Other than the look, I would take the Rodeo Sport. It was a lot more useful in everyday life and I loved taking the top down on that first day where it wasn't quite warm enough but you could always turn the heat on.

Yes, the VX looks nicer and has a "sportier" suspension. However, I think the RS could be made just as sporty and is a lot more useful day to day. If you plan on keeping the vehicle for a while, the RS will also have a lot more parts available.

If you are going to offroad it, the VX is a lot better stock, but if you modify, the RS is your better bet.

I do wish I had a RS again, but I DO NOT regret buying the VX, nor would I trade it in for one.

Got a bunch of cool (and a few not so cool ) cars...and a truck or three. Not a factor. I don't know how you weigh a Rodeo against a VX.....one kinda sux in a blah sort of way...one doesn't

[LittleBeast]

LOL, nicely put I totally agree, I would never spend money on a Rodeo, blah, exactly.

[etlsport]

i would buy a rodeo sport with a removable top... but i wound not sell my VX for it

[LittleBeast]

Are you freaking kidding me? Seriously this is not even a question, especially here..... If you want an Isuzu that will get you absolutely no attention or comments or catch any car lovers eye, then get that other Isuzu thing you mentioned that even old ladies love I am sure. If you want one of the most unique eye catching vehicles ever made, then get the VehiCross. If you want to blend in and follow everyone else get the SUV if you want to stick out and make your own path get the VX. There really is no choice though, anyone that knows anything about car appreciation would get the VX no questions asked, I too have another "cool" car yet the VX still gives me the biggest smile for some odd reason.

The VX WOW factor is very high. It’s just so fun to drive and it gets more attention then any other car I’ve driven, it’s like driving a Porsche on stilts. Driving a rodeo is so ordinary and bland. You will never not look forward to drive your VX.

Like LittleBeast said.

Are you freaking kidding me? Seriously!

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] You will never not look forward to drive your VX.

now thats true.. when i get off the train, i have my vx key out and ready before im even off the platform

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, and if you are worried about space, like peeps have said, remove the rear seats and PRESTO!
