What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Isuzu Rodeo

"Very Good Car"

"Have owned 1 since 03, has been a very good car, hate to see it go"

"This is my second Rodeo, first 4 wheel drive."

"This is a great car! I owned a 2 wheel drive model before this one, and it was just as good. Given the maintenance on the extras for the 4 wheel components, I wish I had stuck with the 2 wheel drive. I had to replace all of the CV boots in the front, but the axles were in top shape. Tires last about 5 years. Had to replace the EGR valve, but no big deal. Run Royal Purple Synthetic oil. Gas mileage could be better, but overall, it is a great vehicle."

"Very reliable, get from A to B vehicle"

"It does much better than 19 mpg on the highway at 70mph or less (more like 22-23 mpg), but city driving is awful at around 11 mpg or so. This SUV is also much faster than you'd think because the SUV dry weight is only 4200 lbs and the engine pops out 205hp/215torque and is very responsive and fast above 3000 rpm. Considering it's only lost 10 cents/mile driven since I've owned it (11k bought used and now worth 3.4k) and is currently loosing only 2.5 cents/mile, it's an excellent value. It's only been in the shop for tires, oil changes, an O2 sensor that went out ($200) and an egr valve ($250). It's built to last, and still looks somewhat modern and stylish. They quit producing this car 7 years ago and there are still a ton of them on the road for a reason."
