Used 2002 Isuzu Axiom Consumer Reviews
Fun to Drive
Truck is fun to drive, could get better gas mileage. Plenty of torque.
Fun to drive
We needed a bigger car (9 month old twins) and there was no way we would drive a van even though it's more practical. Couldn't be happier. Stroller fits in the back just fine along with whatever we needed to take for our first long trip. Easy to take the kids in and out of their seats. Lots of power for an suv and the styling is great. Got brand new 2002 at 10K below msrp.

Fear Itself...
This is a deceptively nice vehicle (because of Isuzu's reputation and lack of advertising, nobody knows about it, making you think it's not that good). It runs great (next year, supposed to get a 250hp Direct Injection V6 and a Diesel V6, too) but the shocks seem a bit overkill. Got some shocks from my mates in Australia (Old Man Emu- strange name/ tough, great shocks) to replace the electronic ones which would have been expensive to replace one-for- one when they wore out; just cut to the chase and got rid of them. Ride is much better, just don't have "choices"; net result is big plus. Why'd they get rid of the "black & tan" leather?
Lovin' It!
I just got a 2003 Axiom after researching and test driving a number of other SUVs. For the money there is nothing even close. Take the unique, exotic styling, add the top-end leather package, and torque-on-demand AND four-wheel drive modes, and it's just amazing. I picked mine up for well under thirty thousand. To get an SUV with a leather package anywhere else puts you into the mid-thirties. Mine is black with chrome everything and looks like a true luxury SUV. I couldn't be happier! Plus, nobody has them...just makes it that much cooler to drive.
Great Vehicle
I've had several 4-wheel drive vehicles and this is by far the best. I've taken it off roading and it performs great. A great feature are the skid plates that are standard on the vehicle. It's elegant for going out and yet it's rugged enough to stand up in the woods. Living in New England I was impressed the way it handled in snow as well. I've never had a problem with it and I've gotten 17,000 miles on it so far. My wife loves driving it and she feels very safe in it. I'd recommend this vehicle to anyone.
