2002 Isuzu Trooper LS review from North America
"A Best Buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There has been an annoying dash rattle from the passenger side by the windshield. Also the drivers side door hinge had to be repaired. Both were fixed under warranty.
General comments?
The Trooper has been absolutely wonderful. It seems to be very well built, and feels like a high quality Japanese import car. The engine provides plenty of horsepower and torque, and delivers about expected gas mileage. The styling is clean and conservative, but still looks rugged enough to take off road. The TOD four wheel drive system is amazing, I have yet to find a spot that I can't get to, and it absolutely loves the snow. I have had my Trooper off road about as often as I can, and it has never let me down. I also like the high commanding driving position, and the roomy interior.
