1997 Isuzu Rodeo S review from North America
"Great first car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far the one thing that had "gone wrong" was the front passenger door would click when you would open it. I looked at it and noticed that the bolts were lose. I simply tighten them and now it is fine. And also the car pulls to the right, it could be the tires I don't know. Otherwise the car is now fine.
General comments?
I really like how the V6 engine has great pickup! When driving around town its good, but it shows its true colors on the open road. If you really open it up the engine really pulls you on those "freeway on ramps" wink, wink. But the interior is also very comfortable, I am 6'1" and weigh 200 pounds and I have to move the seat forward because there is so much room. Overall I think I would give this car a nine out of ten only because the paint is alittle faded. But I also only 98000 miles on it. And seeing as how its pretty much a Honda, it should go for a pretty long time. And seeing is how I also am a sophmore in high school, I think I will get my use out of it.
