thanks everyone. love all the photos and videos of the VX on this site... but i am thinking that it may be too small...Son turns 20 soon. he is about 220 lbs and i feel he needs something with room in it... he lives on campus in the middle of no where in northern Vt. comes home once a month and for holidays.
We will keep saving and after we find him a car/suv/truck i want to get a VX for me!!!

i was looking at the Escape for him. probably better mileage than an explorer... He had a subaru forester last spring that was crashed in a wreck (girlfriend driving) he has been car less for 6 months. He didn't want another subaru unless it was a Baha... and those look small, chintzy and are pricy!
at this point he'll take anything , even said i should look for a honda element! what a joke! personally i think they are fugly!
it is his money too from an inheritance and i want to get him something that he can haul his possessions to where ever he may move to over the next say 5 years..since trucks get poor gas mileage i thought SUV would be better. The Extera is cool , and many for 7K but get crappy gas mileage.
There is a black chevy equinox near us for sale..8400$ looks cool but read on Edmonds were bad?POS.

And yeah, i'd give him my car but it is not 4x4.. it is a vw passat wagon front wheel drive and i have a hard time in the snow.(I am planning on moving south soon to NC coast or Fl) and it's not cool for a young guy!
Hey i should sell my VW and get a VX then i can drive it on the beach!!!
