  Fun to drive. Poor gas mileage, especially in city traffic. Lots of wind noise with windows open.

  My Blessing - 2003 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Ebonyj30 - June 16 - 10:00 am

  I like this vehicle very much. Its a comfortable & enjoyable machine and quite pleasing to the eye. I have no problems with the interior seats as mentioned in Reviews. They are comfortable and appealing in appearance.

  Suitable for a Millionaire - 2003 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Allen - October 4 - 7:03 pm

  I looked at the Rodeo because a millionaire friend of mine loved his. I test drove it and loved it. It has been unbelievably reliable and trouble free. It has 55,000 miles in 2 1/2 years and runs like new. I havent put a dime into it.

  Driving for 1 month (1200 miles) - 2003 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Wes64 - December 8 - 10:00 am

  1st SUV driven & drives nicely like car. Drove on gravel roads w/ pot holes, in pouring rain & big puddles & handles much better than my 92 Accord. Its sluggish, compared to Accord, but goes well when pressing gas & A/C is on. Back door opens sideways. Cant drive w/ back window open. Seats are comfortable while driving or riding whereas the editor review said it wasnt. Average of 18.5 MPG w/ A/C on. Towing sounds good from the specs of 3500 lbs, but havent tried towing anything yet (manual says dont drive over 45 MPH). The engine is quiet after 1st gear when & not much road noise, even w/ large tires (16" P245). In first gear its noisier.

  Love the Rodeo, but... - 2003 Isuzu Rodeo
  By skidude - July 3 - 10:00 am

  I am very happy with my new Rodeo. It gets a lot of use in the mountains and I am very happy with its off-road performance. The seats are much more comfortable than older models we tested. Roomy, sporty, attractive and useful. The biggest complaint that we have with our Rodeo is that it is next to impossible to get crossbars for the roof rack. The crossbars were taken off by the Isuzu design group due to noise issues, but were not offered at purchase and arent offered by Isuzu as an upgrade or kit. If you plan on using the rack, ask your dealer about it when you purchase your Rodeo to save the headache of trying to add crossbars later on.

  Love My Rodeo! - 2003 Isuzu Rodeo
  By wayover20 - January 13 - 10:00 am

  I just purchased a new 2003 Rodeo after researching other SUVs including Explorer, Passport, and Jeep Cherokee. I also have family and friends that own these other suvs but I have to say my Rodeo has everything I want including a great looking exterior, comfortable interior with all the features I want. It gets plenty of second looks. Im glad I made this choice.
