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.

  • Not many in Alaska - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    This car is not common in AK but it is the right car for driving conditions here. The front panel is a bit distracting. Love to have both CD and disk player. Wish there was more room to put "stuff". Why the 17" wheels??

    For the price, you cannot get more for your money. The Axiom has it all: Great look, drive, handling, interior, comfort and features. This is a must buy.

    Got a great deal from the dealer. It can haul a bunch of stuff and for the price it was packed with features. Heated seats. Tow hitch. Roof rack. Leather seats. Great stereo.

    Good truck. I bought it for work.I put over 75000 miles on it for 2 years. I would give it B- overall rating.

  • Get your wallet ready - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    In a little over 2 years I have had the breaks replaced twice. Not the pads but the drums, rotors and other hardware. The vehicle lurches when coming to a stop even from a slow roll. I bought it on impulse after owning a Rodeo and swearing I would never by another Isuzu but I didnt listen to myself and got fooled by the styling and hype. It has been ti the dealer 6 times. The leather quality is better in my mothers Kia Sorento and that SUV rides 10 times better. When I first got the Axiom it turned alot of heads, now it just keeps turning my stomach. Do yourself a BIG favor. Do not buy the Axiom!

    I love everything about my Axiom EXCEPT- It feels like its going to tip over sometimes. I wish that the center of gravity were a little lower...

  • Dont be fooled - 2002 Isuzu Axiom

    The Isuzu warranty isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. 3/50 doesn’t cover major brake components (not talking about pads) along with many other parts and 10/120 appears to be a joke. Dealership lied about warranty and build quality is sub-par at best. Isuzu customer service is horrible and will not stand behind their product and will blame dealer for problems. Buy a Subaru or spend a little more to get a quality vehicle because low price reflects poor quality and reliability at Isuzu.

  • GREAT SUV - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    I have had my Axiom for 1 year now and have logged 12k miles. It has been flawless. Very fun to drive, plenty of power. Gas mileage could be a bit better but it is an SUV. The stock tires however are not so good, they squeel on any turn at ant speed and slip in the rain. The only other complaint would be driver leg room, I am 6 tall and it is just a tad tight.

  • junk - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    junk, like ride loud ouside noises poor power. dont take it off road unless you like the way undercarriage sounds when it scraps off the rocks.

  • perfect mix - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    this vehicle combines the best of two worlds (SUV/Sedan) Isuzu has done a great job with this vehicle. The storage capacity is better than many other SUVs I have owned.
