2000 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"This is the worst decision I ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car in Oct '05:
CD player stopped working (replacement Isuzu part is about 500 bucks and since it's a crap system I haven't bothered to replace it yet)
Gas gauge broke, had to replace fuel filter and fuel pump (roughly 900 bucks)
Side paneling has come unglued on all four doors
Transmission and clutch must be replaced (I was quoted almost 4000 so I'm trying to find a better deal before I get the work done)
Brakes are starting to slip as well.
General comments?
I think this car is one of the worst cars on the road.
It handles poorly and an extremely uncomfortable ride.
It performs poorly in wet weather.
It is also the worst SUV to take off pavement.
It sucks up gas really quickly.
