I, like most others, checked my options before deciding on the Rodeo. Though I haven't had it long - I love it so far. It is a great size for me (however, my husband seems a bit cramped when he rides or drives it.) My only concern is that, when parking on a hill, after releasing my foot from the brake....it doesn't sound quite right. I am not sure exactly what it is, but it makes a groaning noise and rolls back a little. Having never owned an SUV, maybe that is common. I have thoroughly enjoyed my sporty mid- size and would definately recommend it to others. Great price (in comparison to others) and GREAT warranty!
Best ride i've ever had

I picked the S model because it fit my budget. Little did I know that the S model I chose came with all of the features of the LS model, 3.2 V6 DOHC, roof rack, CD player, power window's, locks, ABS, Intelligent Suspension Control, high performance stereo, great sound system, etc..The asking price was 25k, I got it for 23k. I love it, i'd buy another. I checked all the other's in this class, glad I made this choice!!

I previously owened a 2001 Rodeo Sport and got fed up with the rattles and uncomfortable seating. Finally invested in the LS full-size model. I absolutely love it. The styling of the interior and exterior are very eye- catching and sophisicated. Smooth ride, with no rattles. I should have bought this last year. The "LS" makes a huge difference in comfort.
THIS IS A GREAT SUV!

I couldn't find a better deal than this and it has been a great choice so far! I have the '02 Rodeo LS 4WD and it looks and rides excellent! I have the factory stereo and think it is just fine, despite others poor reviews of it. The sliding sunrood and side tubes were a nice addition too. Highly recommend this one!!
Solid and capable

I find the build quality to be fine. Not a problem yet. Very capable off road. The interior has been solid. Nothing is made cheaply. Not sure what the editors tested.

I love my Rodeo, but it doesn't love me. I have had it in the shop for warranty work 7 times since I bought it on November 28, 2003. It is going in this week for its eighth trip. I have had sensors go bad, the catalytic converter replaced, the transmission rebuilt, the exhaust manifold replaced, and this week its getting a new fuel pump. The clutch is tricky and there is still a knock in the rear end, but I've gotten used to that noise and learned the secrets of the clutch. I may have just gotten a lemon, but based on the amount of time that I've spent in the service lounge I wouldn't buy another Isuzu Rodeo.

This is my second Rodeo. Lease ended on my 98 LS, and I went shopping. Everything I liked as much or more than the Rodeo cost 10K more, comparably equipped to the LSE. My 98 LS had several recalls and bugs, but they seem to be addressed in the 02 model. I decided to purchase the 02 LSE for less cost than my 98 LS.

In the shop twice for 10 days each in the first 10500 miles. Isuzu wiggled out of its warranty with the greatest of sleaze.
Nice SUV

I owned a Ford Explorer prior to my Rodeo. I would rate the overall performance and ride equally, despite the much higher price tag on the Explorer. What the Rodeo gives up in space, it more than makes up for in looks, performance, pricing and warranty coveage.
Great SUV

I recently purchased a new 2002 LSE Rodeo! I actually went to the dealership dead set on the Axiom, but after driving the Axiom, I didn't feel it was very comfortable. I tried the Rodeo and fell in love with it! It is absolutely the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. I traded in a loaded 1999 Honda Accord and I like the Rodeo 10x better! It drives much smoother than the Honda did; it feels more like the ride/drive of the Toyota Camry. My mom owns the LEXUS SUV, and I actually think the ride of the Rodeo is more comfortable!
