Great car!
I was wanting to replace my 97 Toyota Camry LS with a similar car. I was looking for comfort and a nice ride. After looking at Honda and Nissan vehicles with a price tag that was way too high, I found the Axiom. Since the Axiom replaced my Camry, I look at it and use it like a car. We have a pickup for most hauling. As a car, its the best I've ever driven. Spacious, smooth, and quietier than most midsize cars, its a bargain coming in about $5000 less - and its AWD!
Not that impressed...
Has been in the shop 3 times in 6 weeks with defects that "cannot be replicated" once at the dealer. Rubber "boot" around front doors which is supposed to keep air out keeps coming off (has been fixed twice in 6 weeks). Strong gas smell after running for about 15 mins. Makes bad noise when backing up. Wipers quit working within 1 week of owning. Less than 10,000 miles on this vehicle. Last time I buy foreign. Give me a Ford any day!
Sleek Looking Gas Hog
I've had this truck 2 years and it hasn't let me down. Fun to drive, plenty of zip, and when the kids are not in the back, nice cornering with "Sport" drive engaged. The bad - the gas milelage stinks - expect 14 mpg if you drive in stop and go traffic or do lots of city driving. This means a fill up every 225 miles with the small 16.9 gallon tank (go further if you like looking at the "low fuel" warning). Ride is harsh in the back seat, futher harsh when sport is engaged.
Moment of Truth
I had been looking at this SUV for over a full 2 months. I went to all other dealerships to check out their SUV's. I test drove the BMW, MERCEDES, LEXUS and ACURA. I just could not justify any of them with this vehicle. I mean, this SUV outperforms all of those namebrands by FAR. The warranty the comfort the reliability the pricing, oh my GOD, this is an amzing vehicle. I would recommend anyone out there to go and BUY THIS b4 it is too late. Isuzu has special 0% financing going on, you must TEST DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, and then just step on the gas, it overtakes just about any other mid-sized SUV's. In just under 8.9 seconds, it goes from 0 to 60 MPH.
Pretty good
I owed a BMW 325 and I love it, but I wanted to buy a SUV after looking for 6 months I decided to buy an Axiom, the price was good and I like it a lot, the only problems is that if feels more like a truck than a car and at the pump is quite expensive, but I wanted an SUV... LOL
