What Owners are Saying About the 2003 Isuzu Ascender

"Solid family car"

"Very reliable grocery-getter for the wife and kids. No repairs needed other than tire replacement. My wife does NOT take good care of this vehicle and it continues to perform well. With the longer warranty and price, and corresponding decreased resale value, I would recommend this vehicle to someone who keeps their vehicles for long periods of time, not someone who gets a new car every third year."

""

"Air leaks in window worse problems and factoty would do nothing to repair. Said was normal."

""

"I have had my Ascender for 4 years now and have had very few issues. The only disappointment is the resale value which is awful and I really want to upgrade, so I will probably owe more than its worth. Also, its not the best on gas and I'm averaging about 18-20 miles per gallon/hwy, but hey its an SUV. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone as opposed to the Envoy which cost thousands more and they are practically identical."
