I bought my '02 Axiom used in '05 with 12K miles on it. She now has 110K miles and is still going strong. She looks cool, is a great road trip car because she's so comfortable and has been completely reliable. I don't take exceptional care of my vehicles, but she keeps on going without any complaints or major issues. I'm the type of person who trades up every 3 years, but I've had this car for 5 and intend to keep her for a long time. My first Isuzu was an Amigo and I'd still have it if I didn't let it run out of oil. Oops. My Axiom was the replacement.

A good vehicle with a bad rep. I dont know why people are ripping on the transmission, which is the same exact transmission that was in the Trooper from 90 to 02 and is also in many GM vehicles. Great engine and serious acceleration. Never left me stranded. Only typical wear and tear in the 5 years I've had it. Won't sell it because its resale is lower than its actual value.

Had this car for a family vehicle. It was reliable, yes. And it was comfortable, yes. It's hard to put into words but it was just awkward to drive. I did like the ability to stiffen the suspension but it still handled horribly. I loved the interior personally. The sunroof was a nice touch. Never had a problem with it mechanically. Drove it probably 15k Highway miles all over this beautiful USA country.
had my axiom for 5 years

One thing that I loved about the axiom was the outside design. But don't let that fool you. I have had nothing but troubles with this SUV from the transmission, to the electrical, and the list continues. I am very disappointed in Isuzu and will never by one again. Plus on top of all the problems the parts are hard to find and real expensive. To make matter worst this car bounces like crazy no matter what I've done. Buyer beware!
Great car for the $$

I first bought a Axion because I had no other choice, I was broke, just lost my job and needed a car now! I bought a 2002 4wd axiom, it had dents, and the frame was rusted very severally. The tranny was not shifting right, but it ran well. I had many good compliments from people and i grew to love the thing. Finally after a few months the tranny finally went out, but by this time I was in better financial situation and actually bought a rodeo that ran great. And a few months later I bought another Axiom, it was a 2wd xs with 98k. Was spotless, but... the wonderful gm 4l30e transmission that all isuzus have in this era went out just one week after my purchase, it was difficult, but I found a used trans from a 02 trooper that would fit, with low mileage. I really like this car, handles great, runs strong, looks good, feels sturdy and well built. For the $$ I have into it I feel that it is a great value.
