2002 Isuzu Trooper review from North America
"Reliable and fashionable family vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked windshield (rock)
Dead battery.
General comments?
This is my first Japanese vehicle & first SUV. I am pleased on both counts with the reliability & design.
I switched to the SUV from my F-150 to accommodate my growing children. The Trooper has excellent passenger room in the rear seat.
I am 6 ft & fit comfortably in the captains seat, but could see where anyone taller would have problems. Additional leg length should be a consideration in the next design.
I have replaced my factory radio & speaker system with a premium one & the sound is held inside beautifully. This is a positive because it covers the horrific wind noise from the front windows during highway driving.
With regular oil changes & general maintenance I expect this vehicle to last me a long time.
