1999 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"Great bargain car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Consumes Extra Oil than ususal, needed to replace piston rings.
Starter motor kicked, solenoid needed to be replaced.
Gas gauge needed to be replaced.
General comments?
Even though the engine consumed extra oil for a bit, I just bought a couple cases and stuck one or two bottles in the rear storage compartment and checked the oil every time I filled the gas tank.
Great handling, not once has the steering or braking failed me.
Great seating and cargo capacity, not too big for me, and not too small to run my friends and me from school and back.
Since the relative I got this car from was not car savvy, they did not maintain it very well, so it's due for an overhaul.
I would definitely get another Isuzu as soon as this Rodeo has out lived its lifespan.
