Used 2002 Isuzu Axiom XS 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Power and Handling are Great
Lots of power and great handling. Outperforms the other small/midsize suv's I drove. You'll like this if you want more of a rugged truck feel, yet the handling and cornering are tight. Very stable on turns. Doesn't feel like a sedan. If you want that buy a Buick Rendevous (poor handling and a dog). A tip if you think the styling is a bit unusual: add a roof rack, rear spoiler (wing) and running boards. Looks awesome. Surf the web for the rear wing. Mine is all black--looks great with the chrome trim! Next thing I might add are chrome wheels--wow!
Underrated and Awesome
I really lucked out and bought a 2002 XS model brand new with 70 miles on it in Feb. of 2003 for $23,900. What a great deal. My only complaint about the vehicle is that the tires it comes with are complete crap. I've already had to replace one of them because of rip in the sidewall. Isuzu should look elsewhere to provide the tires.
Different but great
I liked the fact that the Axiom was different. The roof rack installed improved the look dramatically. This is my second Axiom. First was bought a year ago and stolen. The gray leather with black exterior is a big improvement. Engine performs well. Fuel mileage is only ok though. Considering the deals available. The Axiom is a great value for the money. I think Isuzu builds a pretty good vehicle overall. My previous vehicle was a Nissan Pathfinder which had many major problems after 30,000 miles.
Great wheels!
Very comfortable & quiet ride.
Isuzu Axiom
Outstanding car. Still not seen on the streets too much, which is great. Excellent ride and very good power with a car this size. The value with the features that are standard on this car are top class. Many many small things that you have to pay as extras in other cars. We really love this car and its a major step away from the Rodeo.
