This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Strong V6 engine, distinctive styling, slick four-wheel-drive system.
Cons:
  • Old tech underpinnings, cumbersome control layout, slow steering, tight legroom in front seat.

  • The Ax on Axiom - 2004 Isuzu Axiom

    The sporty looking 4 door midsize suv from Isuzu is supposed to be the replacement vehicle for the Trooper. Although smaller its appeal is more appealing.

    Have had this truck for nearly 10 years and put over 150k miles on it. Was great for helping move my friends drum kit, hauling a tent trailer up a mountain, and going off-road. The Axiom has great power and control. Was more fun to drive than a V6 Altima. Cant even imagine replacing this with anything else.

    We have loved our Axiom ever since we purchased it. Its perfect for our family of four. It handles and drives well. We had a Rodeo before the Axiom and loved our Rodeo as well.

    With my just being retired from working and now having alot of time on my hand, I find myself on the go. I like to shop and my car just didnt have the room for storage. My new 2003 Axiom have enough room for all my hauling. And I decide to dress up and go out on the town, it fix that need as well. It a well built vehicle that handle well and meets many needs.

    great handling, powerful and stylish wagon, the all wheel drive is great, including in the rain. Interior leather is handsome, the 6 disc cd changer sound is powerful, and the bells and whistles, driver info center all work great.Love the compass and the atomic clock is accurate to the second. Fun to drive, a GPS would be great. gas mileage has been in the 20s, great crusing range.

    this car is a fun car to drive, not the greatest on gas, Ive had better. The torque on demand has never failed me, I love it, compared to 2 wheel dr, or front wheel drive. The passenger side leaves a little to be desired space wise, but its great for a medium build person. Love the back cargo area, just enough, never not had enough room. I wouldnt trade this car for a Cadillac Escalade, even if you paid me.

  • D.O.A. 2004 Axiom - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    We previously owned an Isuzu Rodeo which we had almost 300,000 miles when we sold it. It was still running great so we decided to purchase another Isuzu. The Axioms were being discontinued so we got a bargain on it. The car now has 71,000 miles on it and has been in for repair twice within the last six months for the same problem. No warning lights come on, but the engine starts to make a strange noise and stops. Both times the vehicle was almost completely out of oil with no warning whatsoever. It shows no signs of leaking underneath and is not exhausting black smoke. The dealers have been vague in diagnosing the problem. I believe the car is cursed and has been a lemon all along.

    I bought this suv in Nov 2001,because I can carry diferent kind of items for my business and when I drive in the highway is very comfortable, and change to a diferent climate I live at 7000 altitude and going down to Phx, I do not have problems, going to the woods or driving in storm conditions (the snow showers) I feel confident.

  • A cool SUV - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    I bought this vehicle new. It is the 2nd Isuzu Ive owned. I really love it. Its styling is my favorite thing. I never have had any issues with it. But I do wish it was a little better on gas.

  • The suv that can! - 2004 Isuzu Axiom
    By -

    Bought my Axiom as a 2002 left over for a great deal, $21,000 for leather interior and 4WD(TOD). Love the look of this SUV, people stop and always take a second look, great peppy engine! Tires were cheap, replaced with wider tires, looks/drive better.
