  Reliable - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By deckards - November 17 - 5:56 pm

  With 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.

  A fun to drive, dependable SUV. Enjoy driving, very comfortable and a great CD system. Very good exterior and interior finish. Same quality as the Honda that we traded in on the Rodeo. Very little maintenance has kept the operating cost low.

  Too bad Isuzu stopped making the Rodeo - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By briantwomey - October 25 - 5:37 am

  I bought this new in 2000. It now has 125K miles and purs like a kitten. Feels the bumps in the road more than some other SUVs and thats because the Rodeo was built on a truck frame. I understood this when I bought it. The Rodeo came with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. Try to find that today. You may get a 5 year 100K mi but nobody wants to go 10 years. Other than the usual maintenance wear and tare stuff my Isuzu had been great. I think this year Ill replace the sound system and look for some new rims. It has great reaction and control and also great pick-up.

  Disappointed - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By taylor - October 25 - 5:26 am

  The ride is bumpy, front seat does not go back far enough from the steering wheel. My rodeo is one of the recalls for the undercarriage. Part of the frame that supports the tire underneath broke off, the vehicle started to rock as though i was in a tornado or caught in a wind storm. i lost control nearly had a wreck someone or myself could have been hurt or killed. I was told that Isuzu have gone out of business and I am responsible for the repairs. Any suggestions.

  Great SUV if you like to off-road. Very capable off the showroom, fun, sporty, and very quick!

  This SUV has been trouble-free for me - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Bob R. - July 29 - 10:00 am

  Even 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!

  I Like It - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo

  Nice SUV for the price - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Shar - June 16 - 10:00 am

  I 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.

  Excellent Mid-Range SUV - 2000 Isuzu Rodeo
  By Pcolaboy - May 15 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my Rodeo for nearly two years now and Im still enjoying it. It combines great looks, practical features, and SUV functions. Aside from initial dealership headaches while trying to have additonal options installed, I have had ZERO problems.
