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.

  Its been a great year and a half - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By PleasedOwner - April 22 - 2:00 am

  Every so often I check on what is being written about the Axiom. I bought it a year a half ago and have had no problems. I like the power, we actually took it off road a bit in Moab and it did fine. It has been good in the snow too. It still runs as well as when we bought it. I dont have any buyers remorse, we will get 120K off of it for sure.

  Fun to drive - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By DovBenDov - April 17 - 10:00 am

  We needed a bigger car (9 month old twins) and there was no way we would drive a van even though its more practical. Couldnt be happier. Stroller fits in the back just fine along with whatever we needed to take for our first long trip. Easy to take the kids in and out of their seats. Lots of power for an suv and the styling is great. Got brand new 2002 at 10K below msrp.

  Diamond in the Rough - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By twocar - March 28 - 10:00 am

  For anyone who hasnt considered the Isuzu Axiom a worthy competitor, I say...Drive One!! Isuzu hasnt put much into advertising this baby (and I could care less to remain one of the lucky exclusive folks to own one) but for power, looks, durability, etc. this is one potent pony. I got the base model with some options since the vehicle comes so well equipped anyway. The longer I drive this truck, the more pleased I am with my purchase. Am approaching the 6k mark and it has been extremely pleasant. This is one outstanding vehicle and if you were to compare Isuzus warranty to many competitors that makes its value another 2-3k.

  10,000 miles with no problems - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By dcguy - March 22 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle is under-rated. The styling will turn some people off, but styling is one the major reasons I chose it (I like being different). Its a great value compared to other SUVs (blows away Jeep and Pathfinder). The ride is tough, so make no mistake you are definitely buying a TRUCK, it just happens to look more car-like, with very car-like amenities. The interior is a bit cheap and plastiky for a $30k MSRP. Im a bit worried now about the resale value. But this truck has a lot going for it, and in 10,000 miles has given me no problems except a few minor squeaks and rattles.

  Axiom - Best SUV buy for the money! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By russ carroll - March 7 - 6:16 am

  After testing almost all of the mid size SUVs, the AXIOM was, by far, the best overall value for the money. ISUZU offered 0% financing or $4500 off MSRP making it cost around $23,500 with a moonroof, leather, 6 CD changer, Power everything, full size spare, and a very attractive interior black and tan trim. The 10 year/120,000 powertrain warranty was the icing on the cake for this SUV shopper. I highly recommend test driving the AXIOM and it should fit most empty nesters needs.

  Pretty good - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By axiomdude - February 14 - 10:00 am

  I owed a BMW 325 and I love it, but I wanted to buy a SUV after looking for 6 months I decided to buy an Axiom, the price was good and I like it a lot, the only problems is that if feels more like a truck than a car and at the pump is quite expensive, but I wanted an SUV... LOL

  Love my Axiom - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By dharleyp - January 26 - 2:00 am

  The Axiom is a wonderful car to drive. Very powerful and roomy for a smaller SUV. The dealership was also fantastic. The only automobile that I have ever owned where people stop me on the street and ask about it.

  Unknown treasure - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Axiomlover - January 2 - 10:00 am

  This is a great SUV for the money. You feel like you are driving a luxury vehicle, much better finish and ergonomics than Toyota Highlander or 4Runner. It gets plenty of looks and does not feel like a big truck.
