Overview & Reviews

For 2002, Isuzu has fiddled with the Rodeo's option packages and improved the available Intelligent Suspension Control (ISC) system.

• Stylish exterior, great powertrain warranty.

• Cheap interior pieces, flaccid suspension, uncomfortable front seats, questionable build quality.

  I am Happy I Bought it - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Happyone - November 7 - 10:00 am

  I purchased my Rodeo in August 2002. I must say I am really happy with it. Aside from the poor gas mileage (city), I am happy I bought it. The interior of the vehichle is cheaply built, but the power is awesome. It is really dependable and affordable.

  I was overall somewhat satisfied with this car. It was easy to load and unload since the floor of the cargo area was up higher than say a minivan. It was extremely reliable, who wouldnt love that?

  Its a Winner! - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Texasgal - September 29 - 8:06 pm

  When I bought my rodeo, it already had 100,000 miles on it. I am at 168,000 now and driving strong. No problems at all except had to replace tires and alternator. And I have crack in the radiator. But other than that, it is very dependable and handles well, especially on dirt, hilly roads. I just wish it got better gas mileage, only get about 260 miles per tank now. Use to get almost 300 when I first bought it.

  A Very Happy New/Used Owner - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By VAV - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I shopped for over six months, just looking and test-driving various SUVs, in all price ranges. My daughter and I really enjoy this classy and responsive vehicle. Go ahead and buy one. Youll be pleased.

  Have found the love ONE - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Deux - May 19 - 10:00 am

  Just bought it couple weeks ago after taking a while to do the research and compare between its class and I had come up with the final excellent decision is this SUV. You cant get the same SUV with all the standard features at this price. If you decide to buy one try to get the LSE trim, spend a little more but it worth it. The perfomance is excellent. Ive try on the I-5, it came up to 110mph easily, no problem. Very comfotable drive in the leather seat. I love it!!!

  More Bang for the Buck - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Eskimo - April 17 - 2:00 am

  Great SUV for the price. Comparable SUVs would cost thousands more. Six months and 7,000 miles and no problems.

  Got SUV, have snow, will ski ! - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Beta Carver - May 7 - 2:00 am

  Ive had this SUV for a year now and I only have good things to say about it. 4WD worked well during blizzard conditions in Vermont. Suspension control is excellent when you toggle on- the-fly between sport and normal mode to adjust to road conditions (highways and dirt roads or potholes). Power button worked well in crazy North Jersey traffic. Length is short enough for getting into tight parking spots in NYC. One final note: if you drive SUVs like trucks (not like sports cars), they are very safe.

  Wallow ride - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By DONNABAC - May 7 - 2:00 am

  I have loved this truck style for years. Have loved Isuzu forever. Have owned trucks/suvs (including Isuzu) for a long time. The ride is beyond any truck experience Ive ever had. I am absolutely bounced out of the seat on less than smooth roads. the sensation is front end wallowing...not just rough.

  I should have steered clear - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Lean_Rabbit - May 5 - 7:16 pm

  This Rodeo has more problems than any car Ive ever owned! Burning oil, bad trasmission, brake replacement often, bad electronic everything, including the moonroof, the 6 CD changer and the master door panel, which we had to replace after owning the SUV for only a month. I loved driving it for the comfort, when I COULD drive it! Warranty doesnt cover half of this stuff! Very comfortable and roomy though.

  Im in the blue one - 2002 Isuzu Rodeo
  By jenningsm - March 18 - 10:00 am

  My experiences are all good... Im slightly disappointed in the fuel economy, although it is in line with the EPA estimates (im getting 18 in town and 23 hiway) Spring for the LS... the extra features are small stuff, but they are an improvement (I didnt and wish that I did... i ended up buying some of the amenities for the cargo area and ended up spending 300 there alone)
