1998 Isuzu Trooper S review from North America
"Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
I'm a person who likes to get a different car frequently. My wife jokes that if it needs wiper blades I'll sell it. Well, our Trooper has been absolutely the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.
The A/C is weak for Arizona summers, better gas mileage would be nice, and the paint on the bumpers and fender flares chips too easily.
Nothing has ever broken on this vehicle. It even has the original brake pads! I should be thrilled. I'd like something newer, but it's hard to justify selling the Trooper when it's never been in the shop for anything, but maintenance.
