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.

  What a rocket. - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By ahmadsa - December 8 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this vehicle for 4 months now and absolutely love it. Ive out run BMW X5 3.0 and lexus RX 300 in pickup and on the higway. I love the roar of the engine and immediate throttle response. Breaking is also excellent. The only thing Ive had a problem with was the rear view mirror that came off, but the dealer fixed it at no cost. This truck is not for the nerds. I would only recommend this vehicle to a speed enthusiast. It takes no prisnors...speed speed and more speed. Wow, what a rush.

  An educated review - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By the truth be known - November 24 - 12:13 pm

  Neat SUV! I would say that this is one of the most unique SUVs that I have ever seen. It is nice to own a vehicle that not everyone has. This truck is awesome. I did have to replace the front shocks and rear brake rotors when I purchased my Axiom, but I can honestly say that this comes with all USED vehicles. If you expect a vehicle in mint condition, get a NEW one. I thoroughly enjoy all that my Axiom has to offer.

  Axiom driving - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By tom mcgrath - November 20 - 3:00 am

  The vehicle has been quite good and not required other than normal maintenance. Got it to tow my boat and it is quite adequate. Need to replace rear wiper arm and it is a very non standard design, though the front arms are standard. Cant buy it anywhere. Top heavy like all SUV/4wd and need to be aware of that. Gas mileage is poor - average 19.5 under the best of conditions, much worse with a load.

  My Review - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By donster - September 20 - 10:00 am

  Every week someone in a parking lot will come up to me and ask me about this car. I used to own Saabs just because they were unique. Now that the family is a little larger, I was looking for an SUV. The Axiom is unique in its styling both inside and out.

  Axiom is cool! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By vuzl - July 2 - 2:00 am

  This is a fun to drive, capable on- and off- road vehicle. Very quick to accelarate. I love it. For a good price it has everything that any luxury vehicle has. Well, there two drawbacks that i see: the rear door glass part doesnt open separately and the driver sit has limited ajustments.

  Not for Kids - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By SAHC - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Overall, nice looking vehicle, fun to drive, however there is not enough room for a rear-facing car seat in the back. The back doors do not open wide enough to easily put in a car seat with a baby latched in, and when the carseat is in, the front 2 seats have to be adjusted all the way forward, which leaves no leg room to drive. Back seat needs to be roomier.

  Good Choice - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Endewardt - May 19 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Axiom w/h mixed feelings. There are a lot of choices in this Price range. I liked the looks and styling. I do not regret buying this car. Its a lot of fun to drive and it moves - quick - . My friend bought a Ford Explorer at the same time and has been back for repairs twice already. Yes, It was a good choice. I am still having fun driving it.

  nothing to complain about - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By JayDLaw - May 14 - 2:00 am

  I only had my Axiom 1 week. It has been great! The interior give the vehicle a luxorious feel. The steering, and excelleration is great. Both my father and sister own Blazers and they love my Axiom. gas milage is not a concern considering that it is an SUV, you want better milage buy a civic. Everyone complements me on my purchase. Accellerates and turns much better in sport suspension mode.

  Safety - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By BISBISS - May 13 - 12:36 am

  I was rear-ended; I was at a stand still and was hit from behind at about 70 miles per hour. My Axiom was thrown into the guardrail at a great rate of impact. I walked away. There is nothing left of my SUV except an untouched driver and passenger seat. Way to go on safety. The fireman told me he had seen three Axioms involved in bad accidents like mine and the drivers all lived.

  had my axiom for 5 years - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Trish - April 1 - 1:30 pm

  One thing that I loved about the axiom was the outside design. But dont let that fool you. I have had nothing but troubles with this SUV from the transmission, to the electrical, and the list continues. I am very disappointed in Isuzu and will never by one again. Plus on top of all the problems the parts are hard to find and real expensive. To make matter worst this car bounces like crazy no matter what Ive done. Buyer beware!
