General comments?
This is the best SUV!
It is expensive for regular maintenance when you have to take it to the dealership for service.
It is really fast, very fun to drive and I still feel like I did when I bought it!
I love my 1997 Isuzu Rodeo, it has unique style and I don't mind the maintenance cost because this vehicle it is worth it!
