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.

it is the worst
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.
