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.

  2002 Izusu Axiom - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By kulhand57 - November 5 - 2:00 am

  I really like this vehicle compared to my last one(2002 Pontiac Grand Prix) I know that is comparing apples to oranges but oh well. I have drive the nissan xterra and pathfinder, but I felt this truck had a more smooth ride to it.

  Lovin It! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By orion - October 17 - 2:00 am

  I just got a 2003 Axiom after researching and test driving a number of other SUVs. For the money there is nothing even close. Take the unique, exotic styling, add the top-end leather package, and torque-on-demand AND four-wheel drive modes, and its just amazing. I picked mine up for well under thirty thousand. To get an SUV with a leather package anywhere else puts you into the mid-thirties. Mine is black with chrome everything and looks like a true luxury SUV. I couldnt be happier! Plus, nobody has them...just makes it that much cooler to drive.

  NO MORE BIRDS! (for dinner that is...) - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Yabbadabbadoit - September 29 - 10:00 am

  This SUV is neat because it is different from others. However, I have to say I am sick of reading how awsome it handles, like a car. This toaster, that was wrongly named "Axiom" blows all over the road with the slightest gust. It does pull my boat, witch is nice. Too bad my boat is easier to drive in a straight line. If you dont let it warm up, it hessitates, even backfires. maybe I got a dud who knows. My advice, go with a different manufacturer.

  Mixed Emotions.... - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By brantm21 - May 6 - 10:12 pm

  Had this car for a family vehicle. It was reliable, yes. And it was comfortable, yes. Its hard to put into words but it was just awkward to drive. I did like the ability to stiffen the suspension but it still handled horribly. I loved the interior personally. The sunroof was a nice touch. Never had a problem with it mechanically. Drove it probably 15k Highway miles all over this beautiful USA country.

  I love it - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By sandy859 - February 16 - 10:00 am

  Its diffrent looking so you get the looks and compliments. It rides nice and has room for all 3 , yes 3 car seats in the back. The only trouble I had was getting the license plate on the front. Will no doubt trade it in 4 years for a 2006 Axiom. I would like to see the 6 disc cd player someplace else other than in my storage compartment, where I keep my junk.

  Different but great - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By SUVBOY - November 28 - 10:00 am

  I liked the fact that the Axiom was different. The roof rack installed improved the look dramatically. This is my second Axiom. First was bought a year ago and stolen. The gray leather with black exterior is a big improvement. Engine performs well. Fuel mileage is only ok though. Considering the deals available. The Axiom is a great value for the money. I think Isuzu builds a pretty good vehicle overall. My previous vehicle was a Nissan Pathfinder which had many major problems after 30,000 miles.

  To new to know long time - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By rtaft - November 22 - 10:00 am

  My first impressions are strong. I do about 50/50 miles on the highway and local driving. The sport suspension and power switch allows me to get on the highway,as fast as my Chyrsler 300m. The looks are unique... So far so good..I like it R taft South Florida

  Cream of the Crop!!! - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Dan Banapoochi - August 23 - 10:00 am

  This suv is the best I ever owned and I had them all. I got rid of my Hyuindi sante fe to buy this and it was like night and day. I would compare this with a Toyota 4 runner without the extra cost to buy. For a suv it is surprisingly comfortable and it handles well. Would highly recomend to anyone who is looking for a Suv.

  Why all the bad press? - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By chapy - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Its no Acura as far as quality goes but considering what I paid I believe it to be a pretty good value and have enjoyed driving it so far... Some of these editors must have an axe to grind with Isuzu.
