Used 2002 Isuzu Axiom XS 4WD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Great Truck
This is our second Isuzu product. Our first was a Honda Passport (Isuzu Rodeo). It is still running with zero problems at 135,000+ miles. I expect the same with this vehicle. This car seems to built to the same high standards.
Fear Itself...
This is a deceptively nice vehicle (because of Isuzu's reputation and lack of advertising, nobody knows about it, making you think it's not that good). It runs great (next year, supposed to get a 250hp Direct Injection V6 and a Diesel V6, too) but the shocks seem a bit overkill. Got some shocks from my mates in Australia (Old Man Emu- strange name/ tough, great shocks) to replace the electronic ones which would have been expensive to replace one-for- one when they wore out; just cut to the chase and got rid of them. Ride is much better, just don't have "choices"; net result is big plus. Why'd they get rid of the "black & tan" leather?
FUN LITTLE SUV BUT GAS HOG!!!!
I had bought this car without doing any information about the car, If I were you listen to this REVIEW!!!!!! I had bought it Aug. 2006 w/79xxx miles and when I got home I relized the shocks needed to be replaced....yeah no prob. but like $200 a shock...ouch... and finding parts for this car is IMPOSIBLE!!!!! especially the front control pannel...b/c this car has buttons to control like AM/FM and AC the buttons fall out and I so far have taped them cause it costs $500 to replace the hole pannel not just the buttons...anyhow that is about it besides the back leg room is horrible and the back storage is also bad ....but that is what you get for a SMALL SUV....AND ITS A GAS HOG about 13/17.
Not many in Alaska
This car is not common in AK but it is the right car for driving conditions here. The front panel is a bit distracting. Love to have both CD and disk player. Wish there was more room to put "stuff". Why the 17" wheels??
Lovin' It!
I just got a 2003 Axiom after researching and test driving a number of other SUVs. For the money there is nothing even close. Take the unique, exotic styling, add the top-end leather package, and torque-on-demand AND four-wheel drive modes, and it's just amazing. I picked mine up for well under thirty thousand. To get an SUV with a leather package anywhere else puts you into the mid-thirties. Mine is black with chrome everything and looks like a true luxury SUV. I couldn't be happier! Plus, nobody has them...just makes it that much cooler to drive.
