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.

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.

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.

very strong engine, fast, responsive, plenty of room for 5 adult passengers.
Think twice before you buy!

Within the 1st month of buying my 2002 Isuzu Axiom the A/C fan motor went out. Now two years later it has happened three times. The rear shocks are now being replaced, the fog lights have blown two times, the brake lights have gone out once, there has been a rattling noise in the engine for about six months, and now the display screen has started to black out. Not to mention the fact that the car depreciated over 50% within the 1st year of ownership which has forced me to keep it even though it always seems to be in the shop. Think TWICE before you buy this one!
