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.

  Not an explorer - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Axme a question - March 19 - 10:00 am

  Pros: -Fun to drive... -Decent power and brakes. -TOD is a great feature for everyone. -Often mistaken for an Audi $$$. -Trailer towing no problem. -Smooth shifting. Cons: -Low interior headroom takes getting used to. -Rear access is tough for adults, ok for adult short rides once your seated. -Need a hard hat for the lift gate becuase it does not raise high enough. -Auto lock feature not available. -You must remove the rear seat headrest to fold the cargo area flat, what were they thinking??? -Average higway mileage is 17- 19mpg...ouch -The zero % financing was the deciding factor in this purchase.

  Best car I have ever bought! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Kellie - March 5 - 1:36 am

  This is the perfect car for someone that is looking for style and comfort. If you have champagne taste but a beer budget, this is the car for you. It is very luxurious and very sporty at the same time. I love it and recommend it to everyone looking for a mid-size SUV.

  Love our towing power - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Margie - January 31 - 10:00 am

  We didnt want a huge car or truck but we needed something that would pull our camping trailer. The Axoim does great. Weve been all through the mountains, pulling our trailer with no problems what so ever.

  Great Truck-based" SUV - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By cptsesso - January 4 - 2:00 am

  I chose the Axiom because of Isuzus reputation for producing rugged, dependable trucks. Also, because I didnt want a "cookie-cutter SUV". People definately notice the Axiom. It looks and drives "almost" like a car, but it is still a body-on-frame, truck based SUV unlike some of the others on the market. If it wasnt for the internet,I would never have stumbled across the Axiom. I had never seen or heard of the Axiom before and neither has anyone who has questioned me about it. The curious are really impressed overall with the Axiom and all the included standard features.

  Great Truck - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By JRoss - December 7 - 1:13 am

  This is our second Isuzu product. Our first was a Honda Passport (Isuzu Rodeo). It is still running with zero problems at 135,000+ miles. I expect the same with this vehicle. This car seems to built to the same high standards.

  Fan of Isuzu - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By texasheart - October 25 - 6:22 am

  I bought my 02 Axiom used in 05 with 12K miles on it. She now has 110K miles and is still going strong. She looks cool, is a great road trip car because shes so comfortable and has been completely reliable. I dont take exceptional care of my vehicles, but she keeps on going without any complaints or major issues. Im the type of person who trades up every 3 years, but Ive had this car for 5 and intend to keep her for a long time. My first Isuzu was an Amigo and Id still have it if I didnt let it run out of oil. Oops. My Axiom was the replacement.

  You could do much worse - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By KingMikey - August 20 - 11:23 am

  Honestly, I had this car for 7 years and 105K before my wife totaled it last week and with the exception of an AC compressor a year or two ago, the vehicle was flawless. I towed a 3500lb boat and it was perfect. Even with the 2WD model the limited slip system never got me stuck at a boat ramp or anywhere else. And it always had plenty of power to tow that boat. Fuel efficiency was always a problem whether towing or not though.
