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.

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

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.

I love this AXIOM XS! - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By LittleMissScubaLady - October 30 - 1:13 pmI just purchased my 2004 Isuzu Axiom XS and...I really...really LOVE this vehicle!!!! It is perfect for long trips... It does well on mountain roads...and it rides like a dream on the Florida Flatlands...LOL!!!! It is a sexy little ride for a 4X4! It handles well...and looks fabulous!!!!! I went from driving a sports car, to driving this cute little SUV...and I COMPLETELY LOVE IT!!!! The Axiom has a sports car appearance, yet works like a truck, and handles like the best of the more expensive SUVs! I am not sure why some wrote bad reviews for this SUV... in my opinion it is an absolutely awesome SUV!!!!! The MPG is running around 20 in town, and 22 on HWY. I am very, very happy with it!!!!!

1st Isuzu for me - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By goodnu - June 20 - 2:00 amI liked the Isuzu appearance more than its bland competitors. The Axiom is a head-turner with many people asking about it. It is not the cookie-cutter SUV. It is worth the test drive.

Great SUV Option - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
By agrizzaffi - May 31 - 6:26 pmI really wish we hadnt traded in our Axiom. We purchased it used in 11/05 as a cash car to replace a beater that had just puttered out. Was very pleasantly surprised by the vehicle and quickly came to love it. Great mid-size design with quality interior layout and materials. It was gutsy in its acceleration and speed and was more than adequate towing (5000 lbs). Got very good gas mileage and was comfortable even on a 12 hour non-stop trip to Tennessee. I would definitely recommend as a starter car for a teenager, or a commuter car for anyone. Plenty of leg room in the back seat plus plenty of cargo space in the back.

By Bryan Wetzel - December 26 - 10:00 amI love the 2004 axiom, its a big difference from the 03 axiom. Theres no words to explain it, you have to test drive one yourself and youll know. My first car, my only car until my 7 year warranty runs out. Beat that

By rgina - December 21 - 10:00 ami saw the suv online and was very interested in the way it looked, so i test drove one and it was a keeper. i purchased it and i have throughly enjoyed it. i love the style, you dont see yourself driving down the road everytime you turn around its different and i like that. it drives like a dream and i think it handles like a car. it heavy and stay on the road for a safe feeling ride. the inside is great, i have alots of features and i am able to buy alot of asscessaries if i choose, and i like having that option.
