Do big/chubby drivers fit in the VX?

I'm 5'10 and 265. I'm hoping to lose at least another 50 pounds.

Geez thats fine. I would not worry untill you hit the 400's.

Mind you, you could be 3'11" and 73lbs, and you'd still have a tough time getting into the back seats... The front seats, though, are less of a problem. I wouldn't want to fit any 7' people in there, though.

= Need for seat extenders....

In all my reading I've never encountered any mention of the VX being built for a Japanese market (almost all the VXs were sent to the US) or for "Gen X'ers" (are they smaller).

I'm XL and there's plenty of room. Seats adjust forward and backward. Steering wheel adjusts up and down.

I could not, however easily get in or out of the back seat area. It's actually easier to go through the back door, close it behind you and climb over the rear seats and let someone else drive. The back seat area is huge when you're in it.

Find a VX and get in. Set up behind the steering wheel and FEEL IT. There's nothing like driving a VX!!!

I have two.

I'm 6'3" and 250lbs and find all the seats comfortable and have no difficultly getting in or out of the back. When I first test-drove in '99 the rear entry/egress was a little tricky, but if you can get someone my size in the back of a Karmann Ghia then anything is possible.

Many thanks! I will continue my quest for a VX.

Cheers,

The best advice yet. From the moment I test drove a 99 Kaiser, my mind was made. I have never been in another vehicle that has the feel of a VX.

Good luck!

LMFAO. I am... well I dont know how tall I am but Um 6' with heels?? I am around 276 or something like that and I fit fine in back and front seat. Well a squeeze to get into the back with the seat but if you know trick its not that hard.. And no i dont climb through the back door , But ya plenty of roam no sweat.


Seriously it has alot of room so you shouldnt have a problem.


Edit::: Oh and if you my friend can fit in a talon you cant deffinately fit in a VX

[Knigh7s]

I'm 6'6" @ 250+/- a few pounds. I fit comfortably, just have to tilt my head when I know I'm about to hit a bump or something so I don't bang my head on the ceiling. It is also pretty easy to get in and out of the rear seats.

On another note, its nice to find another fellow 1g dsm driver. I'm working on buying my third 1g dsm

[Chopper]

6'3", 200lbs. (you guys make me feel tiny) Unless you have kids, pull the back seats out, much more useful without them, and no one(older than 10) in their right mind is gonna want to sit back there anyway

[etlsport]

let me know when u have some free time, me and another local VXer regularly get together for a brew or two, id be ok lettin you sit in my vx and probably take her for a spin

[tom4bren]

The seat extenders are a very good option if the rear seat needs to be used for passengers but you do lose 4" of slide adjustment on the passenger seat (rearward). This hasn't been a problem for us but thought I'd give you the warning.

Also, if you do have a tendancy to enter your VX from the rear, I installed Tone's receiver hitch & then added a folding step. It makes life much simpler. Mine still functions as a step even though it doubles as my rear license plate mount (just have to get the &^$% LED lights working on it).

One last suggestion would be to add the NERF bars. They help with entrance/egress issues since our seats are somewhat on the tall side.

Since everyone else 'fessed up', I will too. I'm 5'9" and 200 lbs. My only issue is that I'm always hitting my head on the grab handle while driving.

5:6 275 you bunch of light weights. By the way I fit fine except for the occasional head buts to the cieling or strap. I also was able to shove my dad in the back once he is in his 70s and about 5:10. Though I do not think I will get that opportunity again.
