2000 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"Durable undervalued in the U.S.!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CD changer replaced in 2002 under warranty.
General comments?
I have had no major problems with the vehicle.
Oil consumption seemed a little high, but this appeared to be due in part to the oil change place using 5w20 or 5w30.
In the last 1.5k miles it used 1/8 QT of oil. (5w40)
There have been no mechanical problems. It has been driven off road, and also on a couple of road trips with 24hours duration non stop.
Mileage has been 21-22mpg highway.
Generally speaking I am happy with it, and if I was in the market for a new one, I'd snap one up at the great prices.
