This Year's Model Updates:

Debuting this year as Isuzu's fifth sport-ute model, the Axiom attempts to blend the rugged nature of a sport-utility with the style and driving dynamics of a sedan. It features a retuned version of the Trooper's 3.5-liter V6, Isuzu's Torque On Demand (TOD) four-wheel-drive system, an Integrated Monitor System (IMS) that controls both the climate control and audio systems and a trick trip computer synchronized with the U.S. Atomic clock.

Pros:
  • Strong V6, distinctive styling, unique features.
Cons:
  • Limited drivetrain choices, old tech underpinnings.

    I had been looking at this SUV for over a full 2 months. I went to all other dealerships to check out their SUVs. I test drove the BMW, MERCEDES, LEXUS and ACURA. I just could not justify any of them with this vehicle. I mean, this SUV outperforms all of those namebrands by FAR. The warranty the comfort the reliability the pricing, oh my GOD, this is an amzing vehicle. I would recommend anyone out there to go and BUY THIS b4 it is too late. Isuzu has special 0% financing going on, you must TEST DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, and then just step on the gas, it overtakes just about any other mid-sized SUVs. In just under 8.9 seconds, it goes from 0 to 60 MPH.

    I really like this vehicle compared to my last one(2002 Pontiac Grand Prix) I know that is comparing apples to oranges but oh well. I have drive the nissan xterra and pathfinder, but I felt this truck had a more smooth ride to it.

    Great truck, but only flaw is how the material used, such as paint and trim; they somewhat fade and come loose. Great overall truck, great bang for the buck!

    Before I say anything else, be sure to shop around for this vehicle. I saved about $4,000 by simply looking at dealerships that were about 20 miles away. I really like the look, feel and ride that the axiom provides. We were considering a rodeo but after test driving the axiom, there is no comparison. Its an excellent choice for most.

  • Lovin It! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom

    I just got a 2003 Axiom after researching and test driving a number of other SUVs. For the money there is nothing even close. Take the unique, exotic styling, add the top-end leather package, and torque-on-demand AND four-wheel drive modes, and its just amazing. I picked mine up for well under thirty thousand. To get an SUV with a leather package anywhere else puts you into the mid-thirties. Mine is black with chrome everything and looks like a true luxury SUV. I couldnt be happier! Plus, nobody has them...just makes it that much cooler to drive.

    I test drove this vehicle just out of pure luck. And I have driven a lot of SUVs including BMW, MERCEDES, ACURA, FORD etc etc. But believe you me, this TRUCK has no comparison. The price and performace ratio is AMAZING. So much TORQUE, that this vehicle can easily out run any other SUV in its class.

  • NO MORE BIRDS! (for dinner that is...) - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    This SUV is neat because it is different from others. However, I have to say I am sick of reading how awsome it handles, like a car. This toaster, that was wrongly named "Axiom" blows all over the road with the slightest gust. It does pull my boat, witch is nice. Too bad my boat is easier to drive in a straight line. If you dont let it warm up, it hessitates, even backfires. maybe I got a dud who knows. My advice, go with a different manufacturer.
