I bought a 2002 Isuzu used with about 8500 miles on it. I've had to take it to the dealership for a faulty turn signal light which turned out to be a short in the wiring, the 6 disc CD player had to be replaced( it skipped whenever it felt like it). If you like changing your own oil, the 4X4 V6 is quit challenging getting to the oil plug and filter. You will be removing a skid plate to make access to the oil plug drain possible. If you are looking for a gas saver, this ain't it. Then again which 4X4 really is? Don't forget to make sure the gas cap is all the way on, the check engine light will come on. Same for Honda Accords.
Get the Trooper

I traded a completely reliable 1994 Trooper for a 1999 LS 4WD Rodeo. BIG Mistake. This thing has a problem every other month. Brakes, ABS Unit, Transmission, more squeaks and rattles than a covered wagon. I will be happy to give it back to Isuzu when my lease is up. I hate that the Trooper replacement is on a GM platform!

Great little SUV. Lots of power and best value for the money. No need to spend $30K+ for an SUV when you can buy a Rodeo. This is my third Isuzu. My 1988 Trooper had over 212000 miles when I sold it. My 1993 Rodeo has 114,000 miles and I still love it.

I wanted another SUV and looked at a whole lot and decided on the Rodeo. I like the ride and power it has. It is bumpy like a small truck but very robust. I tow trailers with it and have had no problems. It runs flawlessly and looks good.
sporty economic import fun

I am very suprised. I have been looking for a mid-size SUV for my wife for some time now and we have had our Isuzu for a week now and our very excited. I sale pre-owned vehicles for a living and have never been in a vehicle that rode as efficient as this one. It's not the biggest and the best. But it's the best value for the $.
So Far So Good...

Had early problems with gas mileage and computer chip programming errors. Other wise has performed well. Disappointed with the extremely soft ride and dealership where I purchased it. They have been extremely unhelpful, and have switched to a more local dealership.
Nice SUV

I can't believe how much power the 3.2 engine has. A recent trip to Yosemite, fully loaded down with 5 backpackers + gear, we were passing cars going uphill from Yosemite Valley up to Tuolomne Meadows at an elevation of 8400'. Air conditioner full blast, 95 degrees outdoors, sunny, smoke-filled air from forest fires, this Rodeo just took the corners and muscled up the hill faster than other Explorers, Blazers, 4Runners, Tahoes, etc. (I still got 20 mpg for the trip...not bad at all for an SUV) I'd prefer more leg room in the back, but...I guess you can't have everything.

I've had my Rodeo in the shop a dozen times. The drive shaft and airbag had to be repaired 4 times each. It had begun to rattle and squeak badly. This, by the way, is not a warranty item after a year the dealer tells me. Unfortunatly, what started out as a great bargain has turned out to be a bad deal on my part. No wonder Isuzu's sales slipped over 40% last year.badly. Which, by the way, is not a warranty item after a year the dealer tells me.

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!

My experiences are all good... Im slightly disappointed in the fuel economy, although it is in line with the EPA estimates (im getting 18 in town and 23 hiway) Spring for the LS... the extra features are small stuff, but they are an improvement (I didnt and wish that I did... i ended up buying some of the amenities for the cargo area and ended up spending 300 there alone)
