  • Great Truck! - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    Ive had this vehicle for over two years now without a single problem. Mechanically the truck has been flawless. I have taken several long road trips and found it to be quite comfortable, and it has plenty of cargo space. Handling is not so great, but itÂ’s a truck.

  • Great little SUV! - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    I just bought one and I love it! A lot of fun to drive. Love the removable hardtop and multiple removable moon roofs. Very sporty. Has good acceleration and gets decent milage. Very fun and different from your run-of-the-mill SUV!

  • Amazingly Fun and Sporty! - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    Im so glad I have this car! Its great: its a real rough-and-tumble kind of vehicle. Im not afraid to take it into the mountains for skiing or just to load my ocean gear and take it to the beach. It drives like a truck, so its not wimpy like (ahem!) the CRV or the Rav4: and it doesnt have all that froo-froo stuff found in luxury SUVs (i.e. Navigator or Landcruiser) thats catered to family activity. Its a seriously fun vehicle for young, single types.

  • One of the best on the road! - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    When I originally saw this car, I was in love, but figured the price tag (then was 24k) was beyond what I could afford. So I test drove a couple Nissans, a Honda, and a Liberty. I came back and boy, am I ever glad! This car is adorable, and everyone remarks about it. The two sunroofs are conversation starters thats for sure! There werent a lot of them driving along around here but Ive noticed more and more of them this year. I guess everyones catching on that Isuzu builds a neat little SUV thats dependable and reliable, heck, then even give you a great waranty to back it up!

  • isuzus are lemons - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    Neither the isuzu coperation nor the dealerships were willing to accomidated the customer after you give them the check. After 50000 mi had to have a transmission replaced, even after we took it in because the tran. was slipping. They held my car hostage for 2 weeks without rental, compensation, or concern. It had the wrong spare tire cover, so we asked for the right one. Isuzu and the dealership said no. It leaks. After 60000 the ac/heat fan quit (out of warranty of course). Most of the interior plastic molding pieces broke or came off. After 50000 the cd player broke (again just out of warranty).

  • Great Truck But Check Transmission! - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    This has been a great truck for us. The only thing about this truck is the transmission oil has no dipstick. You cannot check the fluid level or color from the under the hood, the truck has to be on a lift. So when we bought it used, about 3 months later the transmission started to jerk and we took it in to get serviced. It had about 55,000 miles on it and the mechanic told us the transmission had never been serviced and needed to be replaced. Of course he was a crook so we took it someplace else. They made repairs on it that cost around $500 so we got away pretty lucky. No problems since and it has been a great car. Just make sure to get the transmission checked out before you buy used!

  • well it LOOKED good on the deals lot - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport

    i will never buy another isuzu. cd player is worthless, poor gas milage, little things (rear window wiper, door latch, etc) fall apart very easy. i was very very disappointed with the isuzu rodeo sport.

  • Dont Waste Your Money - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    The 2002 Rodeo Sport is not worth the money. The 2wd is not a good one. In bad weather conditions the rear tires will spin even when the winter button is used. This button suppose to help grip the road better when first taking off. The braking system also is not good...although it has ABS brakes. The vehicle will take off if you let up on the gas pedal without applying pressing to the accelarator.

  • Fun Ride - 2003 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    We love the car and enjoy the performance and comfort! Looks great and is portable to park!

  • Best little car/truck - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
    By -

    Super great car/truck - wider than most in this class feels like larger suv. Handles great, fun in the sun when the back comes down but you feel the safety with the front being a solid roof. Gas mileage is a downer. Blind spots are a problem. Needs a light near the ignition too. Have gone off road a few times and have had a blast. Highly recommend.
