Welcome,
I've only had my VX for a few weeks, was a die-hare anti-SUV anti-4Door vehicle, but wanted to drive through snow.
All I can say is Thank the Folks at Isuzu for making a 2-door vehicle that will go through snow (and anything else by the sound of it here)! I was leary about the SUV part, not used to driving so high off the ground, but I have a much better view of things around me. I've also learned to use the side mirrors to compensate for the rear view of the tire.
When I got the VX, the CD player wouldn't take my CD's and from discussions here I decided to put in a new one.
On the way home from picking up the VX, my passenger window got stuck open. I managed to muscle it up and will probably work on it in the spring.
As for the back seat... my 20lb puppy (Boston Terrier) rides in my lap and I don't care if anyone can get in the back seat...LOL
