1989 Isuzu Trooper XS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have driven this Isuzu beyond all expectations. The only mechanical malfunction was the horn unit after two years of ownership. We really loaded this buster with a family of four, and all required camping gear every weekend all summer long for years going from Massachusetts to Maine.
We could not part with such a dependable unit, so now my 16 year old son has the keys.
After all these years of ownership, brakes, exhaust and belts, light bulbs, wipers and tires have been replaced. Otherwise - all original and proud of it!!!
General comments?
Not a creature comfort vehicle.
