Isuzu VehiCROSS
| | Model of the car: | Isuzu VehiCROSS | | | General comments: | I recently purchased a 2001 Foxfire Red VehiCross and am very pleased with it. Drives great in any weather conditions and should be excellent off-road as well (I'll find out next spring). No problems so far, but if you consult the VX forum at club.vmag.com, you will see several things to look out for (and this is a great resource if you are thinking about buying a VX). It's not a perfect vehicle, but it is distinctive and versatile. I recommend it, particularly as a second "fun" car.
I am somewhat vain, I suppose, but I love being seen in a unique and good-looking vehicle, and this one certainly fits the bill. The VX is rugged and fairly quick for a SUV. Some have said that it handles like a sports car. Well, not quite (my other vehicle is a Miata), but it does hold the road well and accelerates nicely, especially in passing situations. Body roll is minimal. It has enough cargo space for my needs and the back seat is rarely used. It's not a great car for a large family.
As you probably know, Isuzu is no longer making the VX. But 2001 models are still available, and at good prices. I got mine for around $25,000. If you've wanted one but were scared off by the 30k+ sticker price, now is your time to buy. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | CD changer is finicky. Power windows have been a problem for some. Don't expect to get much for it when you trade it in. (I plan to keep mine for a long time.) And of course, rear visiblity is poor, but this is solvable with VanEyes (see other reviews). | | | Previous car: | Jeep Wrangler. The only advantage of the Jeep over the VX is the pleasure of topdown driving. Too bad Isuzu never put the VX-02 into production. |
