1998 Isuzu Rodeo LS review from North America
"Very fun SUV, hard to find parts for"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coil pack 1/6 went out, dealer item only. Repair manual is harder to find than the Holy Grail. Sunroof leaks. Backseat seatbelt broke. After market parts are rare.
General comments?
It has more horsepower than other vehicles it's size. Corners well, accellerates better than most. Plenty of room for kids. Great for fishing, hunting, traveling. Great gas mileage, if you don't drive too fast.
