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.

  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.

  Absolutely No Buyers Remorse - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By nuschler22 - July 26 - 11:40 pm

  My wife and I drove every SUV on the market. We were heading toward the Dodge Durange but "accidentally" discovered the Axiom. The Axiom is by far the quietest in its class and has as much if not more off the line and cruising power as the 8 cylinder Dodge Durango. With doing mostly city driving, the in dash mileage gauge shows weve averaged 19.8 mpg since weve bought, though it seems we get more. The vehicle is quieter than any other SUV in its category and handles like a nice sedan.

  PART SPORTS CAR ,SUV, WAGON,AND LUXURY - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By BERNARDO - June 11 - 10:00 am

  I PURCHASED MY AXIOM JUNE OF LAST YEAR AND HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH MY DECISSION TO BUY IT. I HAVE HAD ZERO PROBLEMS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A BURNED OUT FOG LAMP WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NO ONE ELSE OFFERS AS MUCH FOR THE PRICE. TRUST ME I DID ALOT OF RESEARCH AND TEST DRIVES AND NO ONE COMES CLOSE.

  My 2002 Axiom - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Bill McKinney - May 24 - 2:16 pm

  Car has been very reliable and is eye-catching in appearance. I still get people asking me, even after 5 years old and 3 years since last Axiom was made, what kind of car it is and where can they look at a new one. The styling obviously made it impossible to put in a third row seat but have to say that I have never needed to carry more than 5 people and sometimes go for months with the rear seats folded down. Its been a great car and although I plan on my next purchase being a sedan, I will keep the Axiom.

  Woah - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By drivzgrlzcrz - January 12 - 11:23 pm

  I will start off by saying I am very picky about my ride, and I love this vehicle it caught my eye at first but to be fair I looked around the lot only to return to it and peek inside, this is when I turned into a kid. Sweet interior, I knew 2 minutes into my test drive I was hooked. This SUV is unique and I get loads of compliments, I was previously interested in the Scion lineup & the Element but this is so me. The engine sounds like a tuned up car in power drive, super fun. Yes the pass doors could open more, the ride is wobbly in comfort, & the steering around turns uses more muscle but try to find an SUV that is perfect.. There isnt one, but this is very close.

  Moment of Truth - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By Beverly Hills Axiom - December 5 - 2:00 am

  I had been looking at this SUV for over a full 2 months. I went to all other dealerships to check out their SUVs. I test drove the BMW, MERCEDES, LEXUS and ACURA. I just could not justify any of them with this vehicle. I mean, this SUV outperforms all of those namebrands by FAR. The warranty the comfort the reliability the pricing, oh my GOD, this is an amzing vehicle. I would recommend anyone out there to go and BUY THIS b4 it is too late. Isuzu has special 0% financing going on, you must TEST DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, and then just step on the gas, it overtakes just about any other mid-sized SUVs. In just under 8.9 seconds, it goes from 0 to 60 MPH.

  The Truth - 2002 Isuzu Axiom
  By The Truth - October 23 - 8:46 am

  Great truck, but only flaw is how the material used, such as paint and trim; they somewhat fade and come loose. Great overall truck, great bang for the buck!
