    I hope I get to say the same thing. I was more referring to trying to put a baby in the back. Our back seats are very roomy, if you can get back there. I know its hard for my wife to reach if she is trying to help the youngest buckle up.

    I could not agree more

    There is a ton of room back there but it can be tough to reach if the kids are too young to buckle themselves in

    +2, my wife says the same thing. So I guess I should qualify my previous "oh it's no big deal" comment by saying that I'm 6'3".

    so have you ever sat back there? The one time I did I was surprised at how much legroom there was

    Go for it, you'll be the coolest parent around haling the kids in a VX but passenger seat sliders are a must, so much easier to get to the back seats and there's still plenty of room in the front seat. At under 30k mi It' like buying a new vehicle and where else can you get something built this well for the price. Driving a VX makes life a little more fun

    Definitely agree, I can't understand how Isuzu could have designed a vehicle with such a nice rear seat area but an entry path maybe only 3" wide. Those seat extenders are a god-send.

    I regularly get near 20mpg on the highway....but that is at 65 or so, on summer tires (not off-road knobbies oreven all seasons) and I live in Florida where it's very flat and almost always glassy smooth.
    That said: 19 turns into 13 very easily if you get too happy with the loud pedal.
    When a four year old starts making my payments....THEN the little snot slinger gets a say in what he rides in
    "Now climb back there and shut up, before you ride in the spare tire compartment"......"whiner"

    Way to go Grandpa.

    My 5 year old Granddaughter loves the back of the VX.
    Whenever we go to take her somewhere she always asks for "Pa's car".
    Note I said asks - she knows better than to demand.
    The other 2 Grandkids haven't got the talkies sorted out yet.


    LMFAO.

    My boys refer to it as the robot car for some reason.
