Positive Review

"I love my Isuzu! It doesn't like other drivers!"

Reliable and always comes through for me. At this point it is strictly a city car, not good for road trips.

Critical Review

"Rethink your purchase"

Purchased new and only have 54k total miles. I baby my vehicles and take excellent care of vehicles. Garage kept. So far, have not good things to say. Paint cracked..wax car three times a year by hand. Transmission leaks...had to fix that. Computer module has issue that dealer can't find. Gauges work off an on, tach does not work at all, headlights turn off while driving, seats work one day and not the next, sun/moon roof plastic pieces broke cannot get replacement part so you have to buy a new twelve hundred dollar unit so cannot use that, leather came apart at seams and various other minor issues. Very disappointed in my choice and most likely not buy another Isuzu.

Its been an honor to own this car.
Pros

Lots of room, great traveling car

Cons

Gas mileage but for the size really no too bad.

I have had 10 great years with this car. Its the 3rd Isuzu I have purchased. Reliability, dependability and great ride has been its signature. Isuzu is the unsung hero of the auto world for taking better known vehicles and putting their name on it at prices us common folks can afford.

great ride, reliable, good gas mileage

7 yrs & only had to replace battery & tires, Oil changes & check every 3 months. This is the longest I have ever kept a vehicle & I used to buy a new car every 2 years whether I needed it or not! I wish they still made these, I would purchase another in a couple more years.
