    Your prior experience is very important as to your point of view on the VX. I came from having a very fast prior big SUV....BMW with M package....so the VX does seem pretty slow to me when pulling out onto my 65 mph highway from a stop. But I have to realize what it is, a 4000 lb SUV. I haven't been using the "power" button, but I'm going to try that. Plus, I have 150 lbs of skid plate, 20 lbs bull bar & lights, about 100 lbs of roof rack/basket/full spare tire/wheel + me ()....so I'm like a flying brick and about as aerodynamic too. But handling and off road is just awesome!

    I haven't tried power button, as I remember from my trooper it just gave a little bit of difference, but yeah another test drive is what I need and I will use power button this time. Thanx.

    I am currently in Atlanta, GA and couldn't find any vehicle even within 200k range just for test drive Does anybody know any VX in Georgia for sale or maybe someone could just let me in on passenger seat?

    I might seem obsessed but really need to check this out

    You'll fit right in!


    Also, member "Renatka55" lives in Roswell, GA and has had her '99 Ironman for sale since May, don't think she sold it yet. Maybe you could go see hers if she still has it.
