Used 1997 Isuzu Oasis Consumer Reviews
Reliability Plus!
This has been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. I have not had to do any work on this van, beyond regular maintanance, and I have driven almost 110,000. This is very important to me after having owned vehicles that were always in the shop and breaking down! My kids love the back seats that one can adjust to recline and the over head, behind the front seat rear air and heat contols! I can control the rear from the drivers seat, if necessary! The 3rd seat flips into the floor, which is great after dealing with other mini vans ... and taking heavy awkward seats in and out. We like the regular car back doors, too. Sliders never seem to work well ...
Oasis was a great van
We bought our Oasis new and are only selling it because my mom wants it now. We have enjoyed the features and reliability of this car; in fact, it was never into the dealer until it was 8 years old, and then it was for a recall problem that manifested itself by the car dying rather inconveniently. The only other problem was the automatic window opener thing required repair when a bolt fell out. We only put 83,000 miles on it but I know it would have put up with a lot more abuse if we had kept it longer!
Oasis
Good. 100% reliable - no service trips to the dealer. Good ride quality. Excellent brakes. 23 mpg average. Bad. Noisy engine. Harsh transmission.
Still our daily driver after 25 years.
Approaching 250,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. Wondering if/when it will ever die.

Oasis is the Honda Odyssey
This Izusu mini-van is the same vehicle as the Honda counterpart. The joint venture allowed Honda to market the Izusu Rodeo as the Passport. In turn Izusu marketed the Odyssey as the Oasis. It's the same vehicle!!! If you are looking for a used Odyssey don't rule out the Oasis. They are not as easy to find, but just as reliable as any Honda product.
