    Goofy things about the VX

    Not really complaining, just idle banter about the lesser liked things.

    A window lock for only two windows.

    No cup holders.

    anyone else have any?

    Umm off the top of my head.... No interior rear door release or a latch to open rear door without the key from the outside. I heard something about a hidden compartment but havent found it yet...

    One I'm starting to get more and more interested in resolving is the lack of a rear interior dome light.

    Don't care about cupholders because I almost never eat or drink in it - it's one of my cardinal rules.

    There is a handle for opening rear door - look to the right of your license plate and you'll see a place to grab and pull. Still requires the key, but there is a handle of sorts.

    I bought a rear dome light that had been pulled from an Inpulse on eBay for $6. It's the same as the VX dome, except it's molded in black. It's something to think about (I want to wire it to the rear hatch rather than the front light).

    My Starbucks/Slurpee fits just fine in the square holder.....never had a problem. Goofy things? Hmmm.....The fact that when I stare at the front long enough it looks like a catfish? :winkp:

    The knobs on the seats. PITA to reach while sitting in the seat (either knob, just not enough handspace around knob) and they are also impossible to turn while leaning back into the seat - you gotta sit up to take the pressure off the back in order to get it to move, up or down.

    Catfish maybe, aren't Carp some kinda Holy fish in Japan?? It's a VehiKoi my good man. I like the rear defrost that sits where it's easily bumped, then stays on after you get out, so it can run your battery to zero. Plus all the other crap. Why do I love this car so much? Explain it one more time please.

    Cool

    it's not a catfish, it's a snake. that was the original design concept. the two verticals in the grill are the fangs and the little things that stick up on top of the headlights even look like the pits on the nose of a pit viper. i read that in an original review from 1999. Spyhunter, take a look at yours and see if you can see it. a snake is a heck of a lot sexier than a catfish.

    No variable speed adjustment for the intermittent wipers? Or did I miss that in the owner's manual?

    How about when you hit the windshield squirters and sometimes the wipers don't come on. That is messed up.
