1991 Isuzu Stylus Base review from North America
"A great first car with an individual style"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After having the car for about 6 months, I had to replace the front axle.
The water pump went out at 140,000 miles. I found out during this time that the water pump was an internal one (the first that I've ever seen). Turned out to be a two day job.
Front driver side tire begins to wear unevenly at 145,000 miles. I was just recently told by my brother that he bumped a curb, which ended up bending the rim.
Driver side seat cushion just now beginning to wear badly.
General comments?
As my second vehicle, this was definitely a good bargain. I paid $2500 cash for it, and it has been a great car. I expected to have some problems with it, but they have not been that big of a strain on my pocketbook. (I mean, the Stylus was almost a decade old when I bought it.)
