    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"...

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

    VX

    HANDS DOWN.

    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.
