  • Fun to drive - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
    By -

    It is a good little suv for the price but could use a little better gas mileage.

  • Silver bullet - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo

    Ive had the truck for 4 months and so far it has been great: excellent power, good looks, and a good highway traveler.

    Good looking vehicle. Dings very easily. Exhaust rattles likes its coming loose. This happened when it was a year old. Windows fuse is blown, so the windows are stuck in the up position. Rear windshield wiper doesnt work any more either. No idea why. Looking forward to selling it and buying a Mercedes M Class. Got to admit, I got this at a great price with 0% financing.

  • 4cyl 5 speed - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
    By -

    Bought new, have 60m miles on it. Not bad for the price. It has lots of cargo space and seating room with a strong ac/htr system that blows ice cold air or hot air. Have had several problems though. Ignition spark missing, odometer counting to fast(still not right),rear windshield wiper quit/front ones stalling, very expensive/inconvenient to have worked on,no one repairs except dealer 50 mi away. If youre wondering why cars are passing you at 65, its because youre really going 57. Its a pain to figure out what speed youre actually going. Also for a 4 cylinder this is terrible gas mileage.

    The worst part about this vehicle is the inflated price. A vehicle that costs $27000 is only worth, according to Nada and the Isuzu Salesmen, only $17000 a year later. According to all the books the vehicle only depreciates in value an average of 3000 a year. How does that work? Secondly, it takes forever to get used to the steering wheel and where it is situated. Thirdly, it is extremely loud when driving on the highway. You would think you are driving a soft top.

    Never had to have it back to the dealer, it is still fun to drive.

  • Great fun reliable vehicle - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
    By -

    I loved this SUV. NEVER once failed me. There was only one problem with it that had something to do with the axles but the mechanics could never figure it out. Even the small things that couldnt be fixed, it never failed to start up and drive anywhere. I could tell it was starting to die though, at only 93000 miles. It didnt have much longer to go. It was very well taken care of, i just dont believe theyre meant to last very long.

  • Whats that noise? - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
    By -

    I love my Rodeo! It is an absolute dream to drive despite the enormous amount of change that goes into filling it up. It doesnt drive as smooth as I would have hoped but I like the fact that its big and roomy. There is an annoying sound coming from the back and no one seems to be able to figure out what it is. Its loud around turns and little and big bumps. Other than that its a beautiful and fun vehicle to drive. No problems as of yet mechanically except for a cold start problem that was easy to fix. Also do not play burned cds in your six disc changer, it jams pretty easily and is testy about what you put in there.

  • Wish I never would have bought it - 2001 Isuzu Rodeo
