2000 Isuzu Rodeo S review from North America
"A good solid performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A transmission slipping at 25k-repaired under warranty. Back glass wiper motor stopped working at 30k-not yet repaired as I didn't rely on it in the first place. Just now replacing the brakes all around at 57,000 miles. I didn't know they had ceramic brake pads and full discs all around. (cost about $600--Midas--great guys)
General comments?
Care should be taken with any SUV as their tall profile is subject to rollover. A very good dependable car with very little that ever went wrong with it. The ride is a bit stiff, but if you consider it is really built on a truck frame rather than a car's frame--it makes sense. The 4x4 feature is rock solid. Acceleration is great. Air Conditioning is cold.
