Oh, heck yeah I would buy another one!!! And as for the entrance/exit ramps, I am the idiot you see flying in around 80 MPH. This thing handles like it is on rails. I have never felt as though it might flip or lose control. It handles better than most (of course not the all-out sports cars) vehicles. It will be the best transportation investment of your life. Like several others have said, I am considring buying another just to save as a replacement.

I would defidently buy another one in fact I wish that I had one in every color but I can't afford that. My wife loves it even though she was skeptical at first. Everyone at work thinks it is a brand new car and they all want one. I also say all the time that I am going to be buried in my VX. I take on and off ramps at 55 all day long and my ride is completly stock.

ABSO-FRIGGIN'-LUTELY! :-)
Exit ramps are no sweat in a VX. This as stable an SUV as there is. That's not to say you can go nuts, because anything will roll if pushed hard enough. That said, I don't tap the brakes through the curvy stuff - I press the gas pedal.
Anyone like me who rallycrosses one of these little beasts can vouch for how well-mannered it is out there in the rough stuff. Ask someone who has had one on a tight and twisty asphalt track with the tires chirping like crazy (like me). I have pushed it pretty hard and I have not yet asked for more than it can give. I used to drive a sports coupe, and while I baby the VX a bit more, I can drive it every bit as spiritedly if I want to. Indeed, the fun quotient has gone way up. It performs very well in many different situations on and off the beaten path.
On a side note, my Dad had parts for a metal building delivered and the trucks tore the heck out of the backyard. One truck got stuck. The tow truck there to help it got stuck, so they needed another one. I drove right through that muck back then. Well, Dad just had the metal building built, and they tore the heck out of the backyard WAY worse this time with a big ol' glorified forklift. HUGE, DEEP wet muddy ruts you can just barely straddle with the VX. It looked like it would be a rough ride just because of the dips, let alone getting stuck. My Dad said I would definitely get stuck. He'd been watching all the workers get stuck. The glorified forklift with the perfect monster tires for it had gotten stuck once. Well ya know I just had to do it then. :-) Heck, I criss-crossed through that stuff 4 or 5 times, taking a more difficult-looking line every time. I started doing everything that I thought I shouldn't do. Damn, that was easy - it really surprised me. Not sure why, because after going up the slickest of muddy hills at Uwharrie (it was probably just about impossible to walk up those) and crossing the mudholes of Ocala, I guess I should have been more confident. Assuming Dad hasn't flattened it all out by now, I'll try to get pics. Of course now, it's much drier now than it was then.

Buy a VX! Among all of the favorite vehicles I have owned, a '58 Mercedes Limosine (lots of luxury & attention getter), '70 Cougar (girl catcher & lots of pavement pounding power; caught the girl), '76 Dodge RamCharger (massive 4X4 power), and a '73 Lotus Europa (super speed, handling & girl catcher; got slapped for that one, Cougar girl is now my wife!). My VX rolls all of these vehicles into one. I'm going to drive this one until the pistons hit the pavement & then I'm going to buy another one. It is undoubtly the best, most versatile, fun to drive & functional vehicle I have ever owned. Don
