Used 2003 Isuzu Rodeo Consumer Reviews
Driving for 1 month (1200 miles)
1st SUV driven & drives nicely like car. Drove on gravel roads w/ pot holes, in pouring rain & big puddles & handles much better than my 92 Accord. It's sluggish, compared to Accord, but goes well when pressing gas & A/C is on. Back door opens sideways. Can't drive w/ back window open. Seats are comfortable while driving or riding whereas the editor review said it wasn't. Average of 18.5 MPG w/ A/C on. Towing sounds good from the specs of 3500 lbs, but haven't tried towing anything yet (manual says don't drive over 45 MPH). The engine is quiet after 1st gear when & not much road noise, even w/ large tires (16" P245). In first gear it's noisier.
car review
I just purchased this vehicle used. It was tough to rate it myselfbecause I have only owned it for a few days. It is fun to drive. Feels like a good solid automobile. i have had friends who have owned Isuzu Rodeosand they have had very good luck with them mechanically. i felt it would be a good solid purchase and would not end up being a lemon. I still have plenty of warranty because it's warranty took place on dec 18, 2002. It had relatively low mileage which was another plus in my reasoning for purchasing the vehicle. the interiorwas very clean, and I love the exterior look of the car.
Great SUV
After leaving the dealership in a brand new automatic Rodeo for under $16k, I felt like it was a steal.. and it was. The Rodeo is a vehicle true to its heritage. It is a no frills SUV and acts like one. The 4ccyl does not have a lot of pep off the line, but has excellent power at highway speeds. The Rodeo handles great, but the brakes leave little to be desired. Overall, it is an excellent value if you have a limited budget!
Excellent
Not else to say....fun to drive
My Rodeo
Awesome, but mine is a 1999 model. I bought it in October 1999
