Used 2006 Isuzu Ascender Consumer Reviews
my car from dad
I actually love this car; its seats are soft, its very roomy inside and it has several power outlets for you to use. I have two cell phones that do need to be charged at times. I think the ride is so smooth and quite and I think its actually bigger then it looks but overall I enjoy this car very much.
Decent transportation at best
Have put only 4300 miles on it in 17 months. One coil pack, thermostat, code P0014 which is camshaft positioning sensor---not replaced, and now transmission shot. Good exterior, tan seats and door panels, black carpet and dash, gray headliner. Frankstein. Daily towing of a 5x8 cargo trailer total about 1400#. Never know trailer back there. Does seem a little harsh with mild bumps. Mileage SUX! Local driving only with mixed using trailer or not... 11.8 MPG

My third Isuzu SUV
This is my third Isuzu SUV, I have owned 1996 and 1999 Troopers both bought new. Never had a problem with either. But the 1996 trooper only had 195 horsepower, so I thought it was underpowered.The 1999 had better horsepower at 215. The ascender has 275 horses, which is plenty, but I haven't had it long enough to tell what the fuel econemy is yet, because I have not had it long enough to take any road trips.But I can say, It handles and rides nicely and looks a lot more expensive.
comfort
Strong engine. Tows trailers well. Front passenger seat is very uncomfortable on trips; my hands fall asleep due to the low hard arm rest. Envoy's seats are much more comfortable.
Ascender road trip
Took 3 teenagers and 3 adults to Florida in the new Ascender and it ran great, plenty of room, and very secure in all the bad weather. Also carried cargo on the standard hitch. Got 22 MPG, long cruising range, very comfortable.
