1999 Isuzu Rodeo Review, BnotE
Add Your Review! Rodeo LSE 4x2
| | Model | Rodeo LSE 4x2 | | | What things have gone wrong with the car? | Just wish it had the Direct Injection engine with 250 horsepower. This will be out next year! | | | General comments? | After owning this vehicle since it was brand new, I am confident in it and I am able to recommend it with a good conscience. It has taken me all over for 86,400 miles. It market value of the Rodeo LSE brand new in 1999 was 29,500 and they did 27,000 without much negociation. I have every intention of buying another Rodeo or Axiom next year when they have the 3.5 liter direct injection engine with 250 horsepower! Should be a rocket. The leather has held up perfectly which shows that Isuzu uses higher quality leather than Ford. I bought a 2-wheel drive model and on road, it rides okay and handles well for a SUV. I believe that Isuzu makes very strong vehicles but they are NOT for people that want a lifted station wagon and 19 miles per gallon in city driving. I've been getting about 18 on average with a lot of highway which is not too bad at all. The paint has held up very well and shines like its brand new. I think the people that are having problems are neglecting their vehicles. If you take proper care of any vehicle, it WILL last. I have not had much of an oil problem and from what Isuzu says, if you use Valveoline Max Life, it cuts down oil consumption a lot. It uses (and always has) about a quart every 3,000 miles. I will be giving them my business again once the direct injection engine comes out. Its supposed to make the Rodeo or Axiom do 0-60 in 7.2 seconds, 18mpg city, 25 highway and its all Isuzu with no GM parts. Can't wait but the problem is I dont know if i want the Axiom or the Rodeo. Either way, the Rodeo is a trusty, reliable vehicle that lasts. | | | Previous car | 1997 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8-- PIECE OF S*** |
