Welcome Sean,
Your last statement would do you the best in making your decision.
The VX is a very fun, quick, good handling (Both on and off road) and although it's not actually designed for it, it can tow. It's not the roomiest and the back seat is a major pain to get into.
For me, I wouldn't have any other.. For you...... Well that's up to you. See if anyone is in your area and take a ride and let them show it to you and let you make a decision that way.
