The only problem I have had is with a rattle in the back window. It has been to the dealer a few times and the fault always seems to reappear. It is more annoying, than a problem.
The brakes are a little soft.
The cup holders are a poor design.
So far this has been a reliable car. It has plenty of power. My previous car was a 5.0 Mustang and I am pleased with the Rodeo's performance.
The front seats are a little cramped and uncomfortable on long trips.
It is reasonable if you get one a year or two old.
I am looking at buying a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo and I am wondering what kind of gas mileage you receive? If that is being hard on the vehicle towing etc... or just normal highway driving?
Thanks
