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.

Model prone to Frame Rust-through - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By MA Axiom Driver - May 12 - 5:36 pm02 Axiom with 85K miles. We live in central MA and driven by my wife who babies the car. Rear Trailing Arm/Stabilizer completely rusted off the frame. Completely unacceptable on todays car. Same frame as Rodeo and Honda Passport. Do NOT BUY this car until you physically check for frame rust and specifically on the rear trailing arms.

Whered this come from? - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By Army Aviator - May 3 - 10:00 amI happen to notice the Axiom while looking at the Rodeo. The Rodeo was too heavy, so I test drove the Axiom because I thought it looked cool. To my surprise it had everything that was missing from the Escap, Xterra, Rodeo, Explorer. It has the best of all worlds. It rides nicely, however, not like any car. Interiro/Exterior designs are unique. Colors and included accessories are tops.

Think twice before you buy! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By M. PERRINE - April 13 - 3:06 pmWithin the 1st month of buying my 2002 Isuzu Axiom the A/C fan motor went out. Now two years later it has happened three times. The rear shocks are now being replaced, the fog lights have blown two times, the brake lights have gone out once, there has been a rattling noise in the engine for about six months, and now the display screen has started to black out. Not to mention the fact that the car depreciated over 50% within the 1st year of ownership which has forced me to keep it even though it always seems to be in the shop. Think TWICE before you buy this one!

Just get one - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By Artman5x5 - January 14 - 2:00 amI was leasing a 2000 Honda Passport (Rodeo)and enjoyed the truck. The lease was coming to an end and I was looking at getting another but I wanted to buy not lease. I had spent about 2 months shopping around and comparing other SUVs and for the money, ride and equipment nothing came close to the Axiom. The SUVs that came close to what I was looking for were the new Nissan Murano and GMC Envoy but costing between 3,000 and 5,000 dollars more for a similarly equiped Axiom was not worth it.

Lovin the Axiom - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By jballenger - December 8 - 2:00 amWhat a pleasure to drive. I testdrove the Pathfinder, the Highlander, the Escape, etc and none of them can compare to the driving experience of the Axiom.

Great SUV - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By kinte - November 26 - 10:00 amI work at a car Dealership, and I have always liked the style of these vechiles, and it is also one of the more smoother riding mid-sized Suvs. We have 7 different franchises here and this is one of the best. Isuzu has done a great job with this vechile.

Best SUV you will ever own! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By Luc - November 17 - 8:03 pm4 years and the only repair was a tuning light bulb! Replace the factory Good Years and the ride quality will improve. I got a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATR - 80 miles/hour and you can hear only a little wind noise! Gas mileage is average, but OK for an SUV - I will say better than most SUVs with same engine size. If you are looking for a used SUV, this will beat by far any other used SUV available in value/reliability/price!

What a vehicle.. - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By Scott Adams - November 15 - 2:00 amThis car can be summed up in one word. EXCELLENT. When people ask me to describe it, I tell them to imagine that a Volvo and a Hummer had a baby. You couldnt ask for more standard features.

Axiom = More for your money - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
By Brian3B - October 25 - 2:00 amCant beat the luxury-like appearance/feel for the money. 100 times nicer than the rodeo, and i got it cheaper! V-6 outruns just about every other SUV out there -- very responsive. handles very well, looks great, drives very good... dont believe all of those harsh reviews out there-- test drive one! the warranty backs it up!
