"I bought this vehicle used with 120k miles on it. It turned out to be nothing but a headache. Lots of electrical issues, which is not unusual for a car this old, but repairs were costly -- for example, $100 in labor to remove the dashboard to replace the bulb on the check engine light! This was not the 4WD dive, and was the most dangerous vehicle I've ever driven if the day was anything but sunny and dry. In the end it fishtailed on a wet road when going uphill at 25 mph, and smashed into a telephone pole."

"I owned my 2001 Rodeo for nine years and 152K miles. It was the most dependable vehicle I've ever driven. It handled snow and ice very well, was a great car for both city driving and long trips. It rode like a truck a lot of the times, but was still comfortable in most situation. I would say it was a great truck."

"I have owned two. My first was a 95 and now I have an 01. Drove the 95 to 250,000 without hardly any problems. Both are very reliable and have had hardly any repair issues besides the usual maintenance. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants an affordable, sporty SUV!"

"I owned a 01' Isuzu Rodeo LS for 4 years, I have to honestly say, It was a good vehicle for me....very dependable...wasnt the most luxurious, but it was a good SUV...wasnt exactly fun to drive around, except for maybe in the winter. The reason I got rid of it was, its not a very fuel efficient vehicle....Hope this helps someone."

"Pros: Great looking SUV-good power, I've added brush guard, taillight lens covers, Hella fog lights, (Costco) safari rack, performance air intake (Calmini)...gets lots of looks. Great 4 wheel drive performance, I can almost climb trees in low range. "Winter drive" is helpful in deep (12"+) snow, "Power drive" will only kill what little MPG you get-don't use it-it's not a dragster. Cons: Poor MPG-you'll be lucky to ever see 20MPG. I get about 15 overall. Burns 1 quart of oil between changes-check it at every 1500 miles. How to keep it running: Do scheduled maintainace-a must. Finicky O2 sensors, intake carbons up, 4 wheel alignment helps drivability as do well balanced tires. Most problems I see from this vehicle are SELF INFLICTED! Change oil at 3K intervals always. Screw on gas cap tight. CD player has ghosts-keep trying it. Change fluids when due. Take it off-raod and have fun."

"Bought it used with only 65 thousand miles and now at 70 thousand I have to put in a new transmission. After checking with other owners they also had problems with transmission. Everyone loves their Rodeo but not their repair bill for the tranny."
