Thanks for the quick replies and good info. I think I may swing by the dealer on the way home and take a closer look/sit/drive.
One other quick question - is there any issue with body rust under the molded plastic?
As for mileage, the 15-17MPG doesn't sound great, but compared to my 10MPG Bronco, the VX is an economy machine! Plus this will just be a weekend getaway / camping / lake / snow machine -probably about 5K miles per year, so that won't run up too big of a gas bill.
Also, thanks for the info on those seat relocators...last thing I need is to move the seats forward! May wind up ripping out the front seats and just setting in the back! Worst case is that I would have to cut and weld my own brackets - done that with many other cars!
Wish me luck!
