I had a VX for a while, it was all stock and it was wonderful. it is a small car and I seldom had five people in it, but often had three comfortably.
I lived in it in the mountains of Colorado in January for a month until I found an apartment, big enough to stretch out and sleep comfortably at 5'10" #240.
I don't like either choice1 or 2 but would keep looking for a VX.
the insight i put in the same category as a motorcycle, fun and efficient. but i need the room for an extra friend, or a yard sale once in a while.
the VX is plenty of room for both, and still very good mpg
