1997 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"A good little SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator has gone out 3 times in 3 years for some unidentifiable reason.
3 of the 4 power windows do not work properly.
Dashboard lights have gone out, making it impossible to read guages at night.
General comments?
The truck drives better than other SUVs I've driven, probably because it is built a little smaller.
Windy conditions make driving more difficult.
Towing is a breeze up to about 5,000 lbs. After that, the engine isn't too happy.
The back seats fold down to allow ample cargo space.
