Reliable - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By deckards - November 17 - 5:56 pmWith a forward thinking grill design and overall body shape, this doesnt look like a 10 year old mid-sized SUV sitting in my driveway. Bought over a year ago, Ive put 30,000 miles on it...bringing the total to 161K. Major repair was a throttle body when idling issues appeared but has been running perfectly ever since. 200K shouldnt be a problem. Overall a really good purchase for a safe vehicle that me, the kids and the dog enjoy.

This SUV has been trouble-free for me - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By Bob R. - July 29 - 10:00 amEven though the Rodeo gets an overall bad rap by reviewers, its given me little trouble after 39,000 miles and almost 34 months of driving. I had to have my noisy front door hinges repaired (service bulletin and quickly fixed) and Ive just noticed a little tear in the front drivers cloth seat with a metal pin in view. Thats it!

Nice SUV for the price - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By Shar - June 16 - 10:00 amI think the rodeo is very good for its price, even though it has a few drawbacks, every vehicle does. The seatback latch cover fell off, the plastic peice that covers the door light came off, I do get a squeak somewhere (dont know where). The ride is a little rough, but compared to an expedition where my head hit the ceiling when i went over a pothole...its not too bad. The power is good, but not excellent. Kinda sluggish on the highway. The breaks are efficient enough, even though I get the anti lock shake, as i call it every now and again. The handling is a little on the looser side, but not enough to really make a difference.

Love my Rodeo - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By Laurie - December 31 - 7:03 amGreat car. Recently had a brake check at 35,000 miles and the mechanic said they were like new. Had to replace a belt at $65.00. Had a computer problem recently (car didnt know it was cold when starting and the engine would bog). That cost me $500. Other than that the car has been perfect and extremely reliable.

2000 Isuzu Rodeo LS 4WD - Ironman - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By twistlock - January 26 - 10:00 amI checked-out the Nissan X-Terra, Jeep Cherokee and Isuzu Rodeo. Surprisingly the Rodeo was the best blend of off- road and asphalt performance. No problems in almost 3 yrs of ownership. I believe only 2 safety advisories (not 100% recalls) for the 2000 model yr. Great value and low-maintenance (so far)!

Very Nice - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By Douglas - September 15 - 11:06 amThis has been a pleasant purchase for me. As an owner of only small cars before I was not sure if I would like this vehicle but I have. I have had a few things repaired (all under warranty) and have no real major complaints. Its fun and comfortable to drive but not nearly as stable as a car. I never do anything abrupt for fear of losing control. Excellent in the snow and off road. Has a great stereo. even though it had to be replaced once. Have gone coast to coast with no problems.
