    Well, I can give you some insight. My daughter is 4 years old now. Loves riding in the VX (bouncy buggie). I have just made sure that the driveway had two other 4 door vehicles in the driveway. My VX was a weekender for awhile, blowing the dust off her now.

    And I am in the same boat, my second child is due this spring. There will always be a VX in the garage.

    Hope this helps..... Keep it

    +1 - Putting a second child through the back isn't bad at all, especially for the first year while their car seat is rear facing. I haven't figured out how to get both of them in now that the little one is facing forward though, mostly because our 3 year old isn't strong enough to buckle and unbuckle herself just yet. Damn Isuzu engineers and their disregard for backseat access.

    For crying outloud Mav, our VX is a 2-door coupe!!! Heck, 99.99% of all 2-door coupe's ever built have a worthless and unusable backseat anyway with extremely difficult accessability, regardless of type of vehicle (car, truck, or SUV). Oftentimes, manufacturers only put a backseat in 2-door coupe vehicles in an effort to keep insurance rates down so as to classify it as a family car and not a traditional 2-seater sportscar.

    The VX being a 2-door coupe is the primary #1 reason I bought it. If the VX was a common 4-door like most other SUV's on the planet, then I would have kept lookin'. For that reason, the new Range Rover - Evoque in 2-door coupe form is the only current SUV worth buying as a brand new SUV Coupe type vehicle off the showroom floor.

    At the time we got pregnant with our first we owned 4 two-door vehicles (Honda Accord Coupe, Infiniti G35 Coupe, '65 Ford Mustang, Isuzu VehiCROSS). Before that I owned an '85 Mercury Cougar and an '84 Chevy Camaro. The VX has the worst backseat accessibility BY FAR. For me the frustrating part is that the backseat area is so spacious that the terrible access seems more like a cruel joke than anything else. IMHO they should have either made the backseat smaller (or eliminate it altogether) with the current access or made the front seats slide farther forward. Do you think Tone's/Welder Guy's seat sliders really impact the VX's coupe styling and presence? I don't and they make the backseat area WAY more usable.

    Btw, let me help you with this:

    Couple's who initially own a 2-door coupe vehicle(s) and later start a family have a decision to make afterward-- deal with the rear seat inconvenience; or, use an alternate vehicle that is more family friendly with 4-doors.

    BTW, please name any other brand new 2-door Coupe SUV's available on the U.S.A. showroom floor besides the R/R - Evoque???
