1997 Isuzu Rodeo review from North America
"AWESOME"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked windshield when purchased (Replaced for 300)
Rear end damage when purchased can't open tailgate, or glass (previous owner was rear-ended by drunk driver)
Passenger side front window regulator broken at 166000 miles.
A/c compressor locked up when purchased.
Car may be leaking oil from rear may seal 169000 miles.
General comments?
This car is my first drivable car, I previously owned a Toyota van, but never got it on the road.
My rodeo is a great car, it has plenty of power on the interstate and around town. The 4x4 in low gear can't be stopped. I learned to drive a manual car in this car, and have decided that I will never drive another automatic. it has a lot of room, and comfortable seat. My girlfriend can sleep comfortably in the front seat for at long as possible.
