1998 Isuzu Trooper S review from North America
"Great used vehicle purchase"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The drain plug on the transmission was leaking at purchase. This was an inexpensive repair.
The vehicle is using a quart of oil every 750 miles. No oil leaks are visible.
The air conditioner seems underpowered compared with most vehicles.
General comments?
Excellent handling; vehicle handles as if new.
Four-wheel drive system is superb.
Excellent visibility from driver's seat.
