This is the best SUV on market til 2005, Quality is Isuzu's best selling point. I change oil every 7000 miles.

Favorite Features

6 cd music, auto temperature, lighter plug, compass, gas usage gauge, quiet, very good and durable SUV, 130000 miles, not one problem yet.

Suggested Improvements

Cruise control needs only one button.

Review

I just bought this car used it had 46,000 miles and was a one owner and it still smells new and it drives great. I read the other reports and that helped with my buying this car, so I hope mine will help also. If you find one of these cars I say buy it, so far I love it. The homelink is a nice feature also, you do not have all the bulky gadgets to store in your car.

Favorite Features

Interior, exterior style, controls, stereo sound is great, it takes off very well.

Suggested Improvements

Seat height, I am 5'2 and I like to sit high, so if that was an added feature that would have been great.

Review

Overall, I'm pleased with this machine. Styling and performance is great. It's always a head-turner wherever I go. I hope that Isuzu reconsiders and produce them again.

Favorite Features

Exterior styling, smooth ride (sport setting)and engine performance.

Suggested Improvements

More leg room for someone six feet and over, power tilt and much more track travel on the power seats. A/C outlets powered at all times, not just when igition is on. A more powerful stereo as an option.

Review

I'm not exactly crazy about this SUV. The one I have willn't free wheel going down hill at 40 to 50 miles hr. It down shift out of over drive tactmeter will go from a 2 to 3 or 3.50. One reason I think this is not normal it doesn't happen everytime. I don't think this should happen. Would like to know if anyone else has this promblem. I would think this cuts down on miles per gallon. Back door is to narrow doesn't open wider enough for easy exit. This simply a bad design in the car. Really no reason why the back door should be this way. I different hing could solve this problem.

Review

I have 1600 miles already, a few problems. Squeaky rear suspension, blower motor needs replacing, stock tires are terrible. Well engineered and build quality is OK, but not as good as my Nissan Frontier that it has replaced. The transmission works well, and towing ability has been excellent. Despite the minor problems I still love my Axiom!!! I use it as a weekend vehicle and look forward to driving it.

Favorite Features

Acceleration, unique styling, heated seats

Suggested Improvements

More soundproofing, revise the suspension, radio and climate controls are confusing.
