Can't get much better

2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS 4WD 2dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)

Review

Purchased my VX in early 2002 and have been in love ever since. It handles more like a sports car than an SUV. In the snow it is a beast, never got stuck one time. Drove it on the beach in NC and all I got was turning heads. Put simply, it is like owning an exotic car. Only 5000 were ever produced, so you almost NEVER see another one, wherever you go, not like so many other mass production vehicles (1 every 3 blocks!). The stiff ride allows you to feel the road, and corner without yaw. Good luck getting a used one, because I will probably NEVER sell mine. :) Simply the best experience I have ever had with a vehicle.

Favorite Features

Favorite feature is the styling of the car. Heads still turning in 2007. Nowhere will you get the feeling of driving an exotic car for the cost of a VehiCross. When she is shiny clean, it's like wearing a new tuxedo!

Suggested Improvements

Install the rear view camera, extend the passenger seat and throw an after market muffler/intake on it. I put chrome mirror covers and windflectors also. This is just one blast of a car to own.

Review

This is a wild, fun, and most interesting SUV; too kewl for school. I LOVE my VX! Outstanding reliability, futuristic styling, and an awesome 4x4 experience.

Favorite Features

All of them! Futuristic styling, a solid 4x4 in a reliable fun SUV. Great interior (Recaro seats, et al).

Suggested Improvements

Visibility to the sides and rear are very poor, but I would settle for a cup holder to round out an outstanding SUV.

Review

Awesome vehicle attracts attention from everyone. The lack of space to get in the back seat and the typical bad seat belt retractors, plus poor visibility are the only drawbacks.

Favorite Features

Great traction, adult space in all seats, good mileage, not another vehicle like it.

Suggested Improvements

Put the spare underneath and give better rear visibility; also extend door length so it's easier to access the backseat.

Review

VehiCROSS is fun to drive and awesomely reliable. Of the three years, total repair cost was only for a fuel pump. Very impressed with workmanship and engine. Plan to keep it no matter the gas mileage.

Favorite Features

Recaro seats, 18 inch tires, Torque on Demand.

Suggested Improvements

Access way to back seats.

Review

The VX is a cool car not just a SUV. It's 4 years old and I get asked all the time "Who is making this neat New car". Only 4,000 and change were made.

Favorite Features

TOD, power button, LOOKS, STARES, COMMENTS.

Suggested Improvements

Window lifting thingie.
