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.

had alot of suvs this ones been best - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By chipface - December 22 - 10:00 amBought new after my 99 durango was totaled. Never had it back to dealer for anything. Oil changes and a new battery have been it. No squeaks, rattles nothing. Very smooth power, added a flowmaster muffler and k&n filter, no problems. Gas mileage is typical, even better then most. Durango was 11 at best mpg. Ford explorer 4.o was at 14. Isuzu is at 16-19 mpg. Depreciation is only setback. Shouldnt be considering they built the rodeo for honda as a passport. Best vehicle Ivve owned for no problems in 20 years.

By pilot781 - September 2 - 10:00 amTires wear unevenly even after all wheel alignment. Orginal stereo needs upgraded. Rubber gas pedal fell off, but was replaced under bumper to bumper warranty.

Excellent - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By catcher10us - July 28 - 2:10 amHave had this Rodeo since new, now almost 90k miles. Other than normal maintenance items, brakes and an intake gasket, this truck has been great. Still runs strong and honestly, was looking at something new, but nothing runs better than this. This was my third Isuzu, 2 Troopers and the Rodeo. Sorry Isuzu has given up on the US marketplace.

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)!

What Quality Improvement? - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By jayhawkboy - December 21 - 2:00 amHonda supposedly improved Isuzus quality issues in the late 90s. Either Honda didnt teach well, or Isuzu didnt listen. Incredible number of little things started going wrong after one year. Hood latch broke. Rear glass loose. Body panels rattling. EGR vale, fuel filter, replaced twice. Engine stall. Door hinges replaced. On and on. Some warranty items, most not. Never buy an Isuzu.

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.

Its Better Than you Think - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
By Steve MB - January 21 - 8:56 amIzuzu gets a rap but this is a great vehicle, thouroughly enjoyable, super performance, I dont disagree with the steering comments but my explorer was far worse. Over all a great ride.
