2009 Volkswagen Crossfox Victorinox Edition
The Volkswagen Crossfox is in one of the fastest growing segments in south america. the small SUV, or "My First" SUV that consists of using a hatchback platform, put it on high heels, add black cladding, raise price, and convince people about its non-existent toughness.
This is based on the 1st generation Fox, which never went to the U.S. but did go in Europe. It was criticised there for its cheap materials and non-VW like build quality since it was made in Brazil. This though felt cheap because it was cheap. Brand new it would cost you around $16K which isn't a bad price por a tall car that will keep you carefree of speed bumps, holes, and other animals you absolutely will encounter in the roads around here.
The idea sold, and this together with its rivals like the Ford Eco-sport and Dacia Duster came to their creation and astounding popularity. The VW one is the least different looking from its underpinnings. It just is a Fox that has been raised, fitted a rear wheel, cladding, decals, and a front number guard. But this is not like very Crossfox. This is the Victorinox edition, which would come in red or black offering special badging, special leather seat upholstery, and the specialness of it all.
It is powered by one of the most reliable modern VW engines. 1.6 litres 105 HP and 110 Torques sent through an only option 5 speed manual. It is a robust power plant that takes this car to other places you wouldn't otherwise in a common hatchback. It doesn't offer 4WD, but the idea of its raised height, and different suspension components gives you confidence of being able to bash the thing without worrying. I for one Love this idea.
Price for this cool Urban run about with some outdoors boots and its vital swiss knife. $115,000 pesos- $8,815 Dollars. And the mileage of 52000 km. - 32,311 m. Which means this My First Explorer kit is barely broken in and ready for adventure.

Hmmm, I'd say a little too small for prolonged offroad use.

Hahah its not capable at all, but if you come here and see the potholes, the speed bumps, the dirt, you will understand the appeal for it. Also, in my town I see one used to tow a jet ski
Hahaha check this out! It is a Crossfox owners club doing a 4x4 trip.

Haha, That's pretty cool.
I'd buy a used Pajero for that money. Potholes are a bitch though.

Slap on some aggressive dirt tires and throw in a cage and it becomes My First Rally Car. Surely there's a 2WD class you could enter that in. And no one would miss it if you hit a tree and totaled it.

On the rally car idea. A giant roof rack with a tire on top, and some PIAA lights would do it for me.

That'll do it for me! How about the official Oppo rally car? For competition. Cheap competition.

It would be brilliant! Just take off the fox stickers from the sides and put Oppo ones

It would have to say full Oppositelock though.
Roll cage required also. Because Orlove.
