We have had this car since 2002. The ride is "truck-like", but overall is comfortable. It is reliable. We have had only one major issue with it since we got it. The transmission failed, but the warranty from Isuzu covered the transmission which they replaced. It just took months to get it completely fixed as the transmission came from a factory in France! Replacement parts for this SUV are hard to find as Isuzu no longer makes cars and SUVs.

My Rodeo has been the best thing I have owned with a engine, the seats all fold down flat so if you like camping you can actually sleep in the rodeo comfortably. The Isuzu rodeo has enough room to stack half a cord of cut fire wood, or if your nuts like me, you can actually stuff a snowmobile in this thing if you really need to.

I owned this vehicle when it was third or fourth hand and with 205,000 miles on it. I bought it for $300 and I have enjoyed driving it ever since I bought it. It's noisy, it's ugly, and it's not the most comfortable vehicle, but it's inexplicably great.
