  An Amigo by any other name... - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
  By scathma - February 24 - 10:00 am

  Ever like how a car looks but HATE the way it drives? Thats how I feel about my Amigo/Rodeo Sport. I think the design is great, but definitely less than the sum of its parts. On paper, the car has impressive hardware but the execution is poor. The resale value is terrible! My 2000 Amigo depreciated from $22K to $12K in 20 months! The ride is harsh, atrocious 14 mpg city, rear visibility blocked by tire/rear seat headrests, seats are uncomfortable, driver legroom is tight, factory sound system poor, and rear end hops around on bumps - dangerous when it happens on curves. Whatever you call it, its not a very good buy. I would not buy another Isuzu product.

  Jeep/SUV - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
  By Oz - August 26 - 10:00 am

  I couldnt make up my mind between a Jeep and an SUV, so I got both. The Rodeo Sport Is a great mix between the two. It has the suspension of a jeep with the comfort of an suv. Overall I think its a great buy. Oz

  not bad - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
  By FRUITYPEBBLES - May 19 - 2:00 am

  The rodeo sport is nice. In winter conditions and mud it is great to have 4WD. It looks nice and the stereo system is awesome. My dog actually loves to ride in it. He likes all the windows to look out. Plus the cargo area is big enough to haul his kennel. On long road trip it could be a little more comfortable. Need lumbar support.

  Great for what it is and price - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
  By reconjack101 - April 7 - 2:00 am

  I did not need avehicle for off road so I got 2 WD. I did not need room for extra passengers. In fact I took the back seat out and cut out plywood to fit and put carpet over it. If you need to use the back seat it night be ok for kids but not adults. Too hard to get in and out of. But it was just what I wanted and needed. But I would say there are not many people would use it like me. Its not a family vehicle.

  This is a really fun car to drive with the added comfort of 4x4 reliability during extreme conditons. Sharp features and easy to park with its compact size. Pretty generous warranty added as well.

  Great little SUV! - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
  By NewIsuzuFan - October 8 - 7:56 am

  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 CowboyBootsie - August 7 - 10:00 am

  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 JennMc - December 1 - 10:00 am

  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 ripped off - November 12 - 10:00 am

  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).

  Dont Waste Your Money - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport
  By karen white - April 17 - 2:00 am

  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.
