Used 2002 Isuzu Axiom Consumer Reviews
Not for Kids
Overall, nice looking vehicle, fun to drive, however there is not enough room for a rear-facing car seat in the back. The back doors do not open wide enough to easily put in a car seat with a baby latched in, and when the carseat is in, the front 2 seats have to be adjusted all the way forward, which leaves no leg room to drive. Back seat needs to be roomier.

Purchased my Axiom XS new in 2002 & still love it!
My son and I will never sell this car, its a tank & it may never die! I have 142K miles and had the transmission rebuilt last year for $2200 and the radiator replaced. My biggest critique - the back end slips with poor road conditions, rain or snow. I only have rear-wheel drive - I should have spent the extra $2K for 4WD.

Worst auto purchase of my life
This SUV is a death trap with frequent mechanical and other problems. (Don't worry I do have one good thing to say (see below): Bad: 1. Brakes = ABS kicks in on dry pavement 2. Stability - slipping & sliding regardless of 2WD or TOD or 4WD selection (I mean slipping and sliding!) 3. Mechanical defects (jerky drive, shuts down while driving!, try starting a shut-down vehicle on a highway going at 55 mph) 6. They LIE about the mileage (mine gives 15mpg on the highway (and I am a slooow driver) 7. To lower back seats requires lifting the bench (seats), removing the neck support, finally lower the back 8. Removing and returning the spare tire - tow driver couldn't! Good: 1. Electric seat adju
Unknown treasure
This is a great SUV for the money. You feel like you are driving a luxury vehicle, much better finish and ergonomics than Toyota Highlander or 4Runner. It gets plenty of looks and does not feel like a big truck.
