Bought this Rodeo brand new and I have to agree about the depreciation value. But overall the Rodeo has been very reliable and fun to drive. My wife wanted an SUV and looked at 4runners and Explorers. For the most bang for the buck we chose then Rodeo. Had the same or more options then the other vehicles for thousands less. Plus warranty can't be beat. I would recommend to anyone wanting an SUV for little money. I plan to keep for awhile so depreciation is not a real concern to me.
Great SUV

Great mid-size SUV. No problems with the car after 5 years of owning it. Very smooth drive and very reliable. The only drawback is the fact that there's a lot of noise in the cabin and of course it consumes more fuel that I would like to but it is the price we pay for an SUV.

I did a ton of research before I bought my latest Rodeo. My wife and I had to replace our '91 Rodeo after having driven it over 100k miles. I read consumer reports and did a lot of research on this site as well. For the money the Rodeo came out on top again. So we test drove it. Compared to everything in it's class it was the hands down winner. Best things are the great seats and the great stereo we got w/ the 6 CD changer. Worst thing is the gas milage. Doesn't get 20+ MPG at 80 MPH (DUH!).
Disappointed

The ride is bumpy, front seat does not go back far enough from the steering wheel. My rodeo is one of the recalls for the undercarriage. Part of the frame that supports the tire underneath broke off, the vehicle started to rock as though i was in a tornado or caught in a wind storm. i lost control nearly had a wreck someone or myself could have been hurt or killed. I was told that Isuzu have gone out of business and I am responsible for the repairs. Any suggestions.

Tires wear unevenly even after all wheel alignment. Orginal stereo needs upgraded. Rubber gas pedal fell off, but was replaced under bumper to bumper warranty.

The Rodeo is small( sholder room ), top heavy, has poorly thoughtout interior and exterior design. Windshield moldings had to be removed and re-glued due to excessive wind noise. The front suspension was factory bad and had to be modified to level the vehicle out. The brakes stick when a hard stop is required. The rear axle yoke had to have special grease and parts to make it function properly. There were spot weld rust through around the rear lift gate from the factory. The ride was rough. Wind, Rain and Road noise were horrable. Traveling down the road while raining you hear every drop.
Excellent Mid-Range SUV

I've had my Rodeo for nearly two years now and I'm still enjoying it. It combines great looks, practical features, and SUV functions. Aside from initial dealership headaches while trying to have additonal options installed, I have had ZERO problems.
love the rodeo

I checked-out the Nissan X-Terra, Jeep Cherokee and Isuzu Rodeo. Surprisingly the Rodeo was the best blend of off- road and asphalt performance. No problems in almost 3 yrs of ownership. I believe only 2 safety 'advisories (not 100% recalls)' for the 2000 model yr. Great value and low-maintenance (so far)!

I have about 52,000 miles on my 2000 Rodeo. The ride has grown increasingly bouncy; it's now feels similar to a carnival ride. This is particularly bad, because it aggravates this vehicles rattle quotient - everything rattles. Isuzu dealers are few and far between and they act like it. My dealer was never able to identify problems (or even agree there was a problem) on the first visit making each repair a multi visit battle (I did eventually win many, but not all of the battles). Unless you absolutely can’t afford something else – I’d look elsewhere. Most any other vehicle out there is superior to this one. Run; don't walk, out of your Isuzu dealer.
