Mr. E.

Still trucking

This is a great SUV it's 16 years old and still on the road. This vehicle looks great and it drives great few minor problems to be fixed ,but other wise this is a great vehicle even after 16 years.

This is a very safe reliable SUV.

My vehicle is very reliable. I have not had any major problems. It is very safe. The only major things I have done with it is tune ups brakes. It saves of gas.

Amber J

Built to keep going and going!

I love it! It's sturdy! It's reliable! But mostly it's always ready to keep up with me!

Calvin J

The import vehicles are worth the money. Isuzu is underrated compared to the domestic vehicles.

I like the size of my vehicle. It's mid sized but a capable suv. I wish I had more leg room. The vehicle is very reliable.

David H

Best foreign SUV sold in the United States

The truck handles very well in snow and mud due to a very good transfer case. It gets halfway decent fuel mileage. The only problem I have had with it is the brakes need to be changed often regardless of the driver. It was a tow package which is convenient. If have not had any real major problems with this SUV. I love it.

Rolled and still running.

My vehicle runs fairly well. It has 170k miles on it. It was rolled in an accident so the whole front end is dented. My rear window won't release due to the release mechanism being broken. It is a very comfortable vehicle to ride in.

Kim B

It is very reliable. I had no real problems. It took me to and from work.

It is reliable. It keeps going. Can't figure why reduced power is on

Sabrina P

It's an SUV!! That sums up the interesting detail because it fits more people

I recently purchased this vehicle used, so not really any problems to talk about just yet. It's a very comfortable ride and I feel completely safe when I'm driving. The radio isn't the best, but that's not too big a deal. It also doesn't have a whole lot of get up and go in them, so I am not a fan of pulling out in front of people.

That it was not my idea to get it, that it used to be my moms and that's why it looks like a mom car

Recently i got into a minor accident by hitting the curb with my from right wheel. After that it needed axle work and a bunch of other stuff. I wish it had more torque.

Marisa S

It's an SUV and has lots of room.

My vehicle is black and used. It has its problems including the transmission. My rodeo cannot reverse so I have to put it in neutral and manually push the car out of the parking spot because the reverse gear is not working. The ac never works and the driver seat does not work. It is powered not manual so I'm stuck in a very uncomfortable position while driving.

It is old but reliable and will handle good in snow.

I like that it is four wheel drive. I like that it get 20 miles per gallon. I do not like it has a small gas tank.

Maddie S

Practical but unexciting car: Isuzu Rodeo

Reliable, no frills SUV. Clutch is unusually long and can sometimes require more force than you expect to push it down and start the car, etc. Comfortable seat, spacious back seat, very practical trunk.

Sam S

It's all about dependability. If you want a car that is just tough, rugged, and ugly, this is your car.

It's not the best looking car, but it has been very dependable. Maintenance for it has also been very low in cost as well.
