1996 Isuzu MU review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good on/off road compromise"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
Pleasing shape, face-lifted dash is a major improvement. Seats are hard and rear headroom is for dwarfs.
Strong and reliable mechanicals, reasonable economy (approx 30mpg), effortless cruiser, but lots of roll through the corners and the brakes aren't overly powerful.
Haven't done much off-road yet, but it's certainly not short of power in low-range.
