My Awesome '04 Isuzu Axiom!

Review

15 months and 33,000 miles after purchase, I have to say I love this vehicle. From its direct injection engine to the exterior to the interior, I love everything about this SUV. Isuzu makes products that not only last forever, they also look GREAT! The 250hp DI 3.5 engine has plenty of power. The traction control (TOD) is awesome -- last winter I had to pass some large trucks in heavy snow on I-25, slick conditions; it never missed a beat. Beautiful interior. I love the two-tone + leather + the digital center panel (Euro look) and the 6 disc player. The performance, looks, and style can't be matched by any American vehicle. I want another one. My 1995 Rodeo still runs great too!

Favorite Features

Center dash digital display. TOD traction control. Looks & Style. 250hp engine. Great interior design. Climate control. Effortless, fun driving, CLASSY machine. From showing off in town to Gemini trail in Utah (off road), a great vehicle to own. Detailing it is my favorite pastime, next to driving.

Suggested Improvements

Our '95 Rodeo with 196,000 miles still runs great. We wanted a new vehicle and it had to be Isuzu. The only drawback to the Axiom was the size, namely the back entrance -- way was too small. Still, we bought it. How about a LARGER Axiom, PLEASE! (Not interested in Ascender -- it's mostly GM with GM interior).

Review

This vehicle is a good bargain. It does everything well. Power is great and gas mileage has shocked me. Hope we have no mechanical problems!!!

Favorite Features

Onboard computer, power everything

Suggested Improvements

The ride is not very smooth on less than perfect roads. A set of bilsteins might improve that? (I hope)

Review

Bought my Axiom as a 2002 left over for a great deal, $21,000 for leather interior and 4WD(TOD). Love the look of this SUV, people stop and always take a second look, great peppy engine! Tires were cheap, replaced with wider tires, looks/drive better.

Favorite Features

Engine! engine! engine!

Suggested Improvements

Suspension/ride comfort.

Review

I currently also own a Subaru WRX STI, a 03 Corvette convertible, and a 73 Trans AM. This variety only begins to indicate how many kind of cars I have owned - including Jeeps, Durangos, etc. This car is the most reliable car or truck I have ever owned by a mile. It has been driven 25,000 miles a year, including in Chicago winters, and not a single bolt, nut, or trim piece - much less anything mechanical - has broken, shaken loose, or quit. Not a single thing wrong. The pick up is very good and balance mileage. Yes, it rides a bit more like a truck, but we abuse this like a truck. Every person I have talked to who owns an Isuzu says the same; why they didn't sell more is a mystery.

Favorite Features

Dependable, looks, acceleration.

Suggested Improvements

Does not matter, they are not going to sell any more.

Review

I thought SUV's were only for the rich. I just bought a Isuzu Axiom and I need a degree to learn all it does. It is classy, sporty and handles great. I used to have a Toyota Tacoma and the seats were important to me as if it isnt comfortable I am not going to want to stay in it for long and as most Southern California people know we do a lot of driving. It handles great, and I always know where I am going as it has the compus on the screen and temperture controlls. My sun glasses never get lost now because it is like a well orgainzed machine, with something for everone. Speaking for someone that gets hot flashes the tempurture controls are so great becau

Favorite Features

Cruze control, temperture controls, leather seats, design, functionality, no one is cramped in it to go places, fun to drive, wonderful radio and CD player, beefy looks but classic contemporaty with elegance. The two toned seats are gorgeous and so cushie.

Suggested Improvements

I cant think of a one because It has all the bells and whistles I could never imagine.

Review

this car is a fun car to drive, not the greatest on gas, I've had better. The torque on demand has never failed me, I love it, compared to 2 wheel dr, or front wheel drive. The passenger side leaves a little to be desired space wise, but it's great for a medium build person. Love the back cargo area, just enough, never not had enough room. I wouldn't trade this car for a Cadillac Escalade, even if you paid me.

Favorite Features

I love the torque on demand, greatest thing since pizza. Love the argo space with the rear seats down, enough room for a ladder, and all my tools.

Suggested Improvements

Automatic lights sensor.

Review

I love my Axiom. I looked at a lot of V4 and V6 SUVs and I got the most for my money with the Axiom. The dealer service has not been as good as when I owned an Infiniti. Dealer service could be improved. But, the car offers a lot of leg room and is overall very, very nice for the money. The cost was a lot less than the Toyota Highlander, but the interior is much roomier and nicer. And, it pulls 4500 lbs which is great if you tow trailers. Gas mileage averages at 15 MPG, which is worse that I expected. I get lots of complements on this car.

Favorite Features

Love the leather seats and two toned interior. Like the way the car is narrow but still roomy inside. The narrowness gives you some distance in parking places. I love that! Less dings and room to get in and out.

Suggested Improvements

Dealer Service could be better (specifically Lascher, Sacramento). Had problems with not calls back. Slow to resolve a problem, but came through in the end.
