Overview & Reviews

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.

• Strong V6, distinctive styling, unique features.

• Limited drivetrain choices, old tech underpinnings.

  To new to know long time - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By rtaft - November 22 - 10:00 am

  My first impressions are strong. I do about 50/50 miles on the highway and local driving. The sport suspension and power switch allows me to get on the highway,as fast as my Chyrsler 300m. The looks are unique... So far so good..I like it R taft South Florida

  Outstanding car. Still not seen on the streets too much, which is great. Excellent ride and very good power with a car this size. The value with the features that are standard on this car are top class. Many many small things that you have to pay as extras in other cars. We really love this car and its a major step away from the Rodeo.

  Lota Bang for the Bucks - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By rcopa2 - October 7 - 10:00 am

  You sure get alot for the money. The interior is great, lot of nice touchs. Excellent fit and finish. Feels and looks well put together. Its just loaded with features, feels like a high end suv. Its even got a full alloy spare. I really like all the stainless and chrome touchs inside and out. Its not for everyone but I am really enjoying this Isuzu.

  Reliably Different - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By T Murray - October 7 - 10:00 am

  Does not look like other SUVs which I prefer. Over 30K Miles and not one problem of any type. Cross country trip in winter 2003 Seattle to Boston averaged 21.4 mpg on reg gas with car loaded to max. Torque on Demand 4 wheel drive system great in Ice and snow. Wife commuted in Boston winter weather in 04 without a problem. Dual mode suspension great for freeway flats or in the mountains. Went from a Mitsu Montero to Axiom for better milage and performance and like the size better. No recalls no problems, decent milage for 4 wheel drive. What more can I ask for. Definitely under-rated by writers.

  Think Twice - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By rcasti01 - August 30 - 2:00 am

  I bought the vehicle because of the distinct design, leather color interior and quality. But after just 1 year of driving this particular vehicle it has been in the shop 4 times. Twice becuase of electrical problems and twice for interior pieces falling apart. In-fact on the driver door panel the bottom paneling is coming off, so Ill have to return it back to the dealership. The MSRP was a little under 30K, with a 4K dealer discount plus my GM discount... I bought on impulse. Ive havent been to happy with my descision.

  Cream of the Crop!!! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Dan Banapoochi - August 23 - 10:00 am

  This suv is the best I ever owned and I had them all. I got rid of my Hyuindi sante fe to buy this and it was like night and day. I would compare this with a Toyota 4 runner without the extra cost to buy. For a suv it is surprisingly comfortable and it handles well. Would highly recomend to anyone who is looking for a Suv.

  Why all the bad press? - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By chapy - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Its no Acura as far as quality goes but considering what I paid I believe it to be a pretty good value and have enjoyed driving it so far... Some of these editors must have an axe to grind with Isuzu.

  Throughly Pleased - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By AxiomInMD - July 4 - 2:00 am

  I traded my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee for my Axoim and do not regreat my discission. The ride is excellent and the V6 engine out performs the Jeep. The two-tone leather is eye pleasing as well as extremely comfortable.
