Welcome to the board and community! Just thought I'd chime in as I've tortured plenty of friends with the back seat. LOL! When I first test drive ANY vehicle I try out the back seat so I'll know what I'm putting any future passengers through. Now, I'm 6'3" and about 250lbs and thought the VX was "snug" for entry/exit. I've got a few friends in the same weight class but what they lack in height they make up for in width. Glad they don't read this board too! In any case, they manage the entry/exit with less griping now than the first couple times.

Now my puppy, 115lb Rottie, gets in the cargo area with the seats in normal position. I've never driven this way with her for more than 20 or 30 minutes, but she's always eager to hop right back in to slobber on whatever she can reach. She also turns around without any problems.

As for visiblility, you'll get used to it and find where to look to cover the blind spots. I've adjusted my side mirrors more outward to cover the sides and have pushed the mirror stalk as high as it will go so as to better angle the mirror itself. Just be patient with yourself, my fiancee drives the VX from time-to-time and she's adjusted fine. Pretty good considering she's used to the almost panoramic view of her Trooper!

Enjoy!

Lease-V-cross: I think when you come to FL you'll find the fast-n-furious crowd to be another almost non-existent Hollywood fabrication. Bring your VX!
