1999 Isuzu Rodeo S 2WD review from North America
"Good car. Semi-expensive to maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Rodeo S 2WD has the same just gauge problems as everyone else except not extreme. It only starts messing up when I have less than a quarter of a tank. No big deal, I just reset the tripometer and and know I can 240 miles on a tank.
It's rides pretty rough on the highway, shakes after 65 mph. It seems like there is always something to fix, but these are all maitenance issues with a car with 90,000 miles (putting in broken bulbs, breaks, belts & hoses).
General comments?
Overall its been a good car, but is one that you have to maintain. Speaking of which my timing belt got changed 45,000 miles ago, is it a good time to replace that now to be safe?
