My wife also hates the VX. She says it's like riding in a shopping trolley (cart). She says the doors are too heavy, the door handles break her finger nails, its hard to get in (even without a lift). The passenger seat is hard to push back (I need to forward all the way to allow my son in the back), and difficult to tilt the seat forward (she can't work the catch for some reason). It's expensive to own, run and maintain (taking much needed money from the household), and is impractical - no clever storage solutions and poor rear storage (when you consider the dog). The sound system is muffled and there isn't even a cup holder. But she does appreciate that I love it and it gives me great joy owning it - so she does give me too much ear ache about it.

PS She drives a Nissan Micra.
