Overview & Reviews
More power is the word for 2004. The Axiom's 3.5-liter V6 engine features new gasoline "direct injection" technology to improve both horsepower and torque. Of a less exciting nature, the audio system doesn't include a tape player anymore and the speaker count drops by two for a total of six. Outside, there's a new chrome finish for the front grille and for the XS model's optional alloy wheels.
- Strong V6 engine, distinctive styling, slick four-wheel-drive system.
- Old tech underpinnings, cumbersome control layout, slow steering, tight legroom in front seat.

My Awesome 04 Isuzu Axiom! - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By djwiax - July 17 - 6:36 am15 months and 33,000 miles after purchase, I have to say I love this vehicle. From its direct injection engine to the exterior to the interior, I love everything about this SUV. Isuzu makes products that not only last forever, they also look GREAT! The 250hp DI 3.5 engine has plenty of power. The traction control (TOD) is awesome -- last winter I had to pass some large trucks in heavy snow on I-25, slick conditions; it never missed a beat. Beautiful interior. I love the two-tone + leather + the digital center panel (Euro look) and the 6 disc player. The performance, looks, and style cant be matched by any American vehicle. I want another one. My 1995 Rodeo still runs great too!

most for your money - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By Linda Hayes - March 29 - 10:00 amI have loved my Axiom I have not had it in the shop except for normal mantanince and oil change. The ride is great.The comfort is wonderful. My friend has a ford explorer and it does not even compare to mine. The ride is ruff and it rattles. The Axiom is soild even with the 20"low profile tires and mags.And has more equipment for the price also.

Solid SUV - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By who knew - August 27 - 2:00 amThis is an outstanding SUV that is not run of the mill. Its distinctive looks and strong performance are great. All the options for a final price in the mid 20s after rebate. This includes a 6-CD changer. There is very good reliability and warranty to provide piece of mind.

Underwhelmed by internet reviewers - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By Jake4551 - April 10 - 10:00 amThe big problem with this vehicle is some of the ridiculous reviewers comments throughtout the internet. Do yourself a favor checkout, Car and Driver, MotorTrend, Fourwheeler magazine, or their respective dotcom sites for a true review. Purchased this vehicle because I wanted a crossover, but I wanted a truck frame like my previous 2000 Grand Cherokee. Loved the styling, the interior, biggest complaint, drivers seat doesnt slide back enough, power seats should be six way not four way. Ride is no more rough in sport mode than my Grand Cherokee. Compared this to Durango, ugly front end, horrible gas mileage, 14 on the highway,and an Envoy,uninspired

Ole Reliable? Well See. - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By Charbojr - January 15 - 10:00 am3000 miles and overall I like this truck. It looks great and handles well. Has more power than my 99 Saab 9-5SE. Its perfect for the foul weather here in NE. Has had some strange quirks but its an Isuzu not a Land Rover. Plus a warranty youll love to love.

Reliable beyond belief - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By Grendeldad - December 12 - 4:46 amI currently also own a Subaru WRX STI, a 03 Corvette convertible, and a 73 Trans AM. This variety only begins to indicate how many kind of cars I have owned - including Jeeps, Durangos, etc. This car is the most reliable car or truck I have ever owned by a mile. It has been driven 25,000 miles a year, including in Chicago winters, and not a single bolt, nut, or trim piece - much less anything mechanical - has broken, shaken loose, or quit. Not a single thing wrong. The pick up is very good and balance mileage. Yes, it rides a bit more like a truck, but we abuse this like a truck. Every person I have talked to who owns an Isuzu says the same; why they didnt sell more is a mystery.
