    Unlike most other cars, I would NOT recomend pulling the e-brake up in the VX while sliding!

    I tried this a couple of times over the years and it just causes the VX to nose dive and come to a complete stop.

    lol

    I was able to get my VX to do tight doughnuts before, I've since purchased new tires though and found this makes it tougher. I don't feel the shorter wheel base has anything to do with it at all.

    We got some snow a couple of days ago and I decided to put the E-brake to work - I've never done it with the VX. I got two results: Once in deeper stuff I just went straight. But the next time I was in shallower stuff and it slid sideways real nice. It may be hard to pull a controlled cookie but I imagine a full throttle surge after heading into that type of slide would be hella cool with the wheel cranked full turn! I hope to try it again next snowfall!

    I have a VX and Amigo. Love them both. I thought that Isuzu would start making a 2 door SUV again. The Amigo/Rodeo was a very good looking vehicle next to the VX.
