1998 Isuzu Rodeo 4 Dr LS 4WD SUV Review
ProsNice appearance and styling. Nice features for the money. ConsNot a reliable vehicle. It started falling apart 2 years after purchase.

This Is A Popular Vehicle, But I'm Not Sure Why?! — I bought my 1998 Isuzu Rodeo LS 4WD about 6 years ago and had one hell of a time finding one. They were very popular vehicles. When I did finally get my hands on one it was nothing but trouble. The interior door trim started falling apart, then the rear bumper came loose, the front drive axle started shaking at highway speeds. Eventually the engine made such a bad "ticking noise" (probably a valve issue) that would've cost $2300 to fix. I couldn't deal with it any longer and finally got rid of it 4 years after purchase. What a relief! Owner for 4 years, 5 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000

1998 Isuzu Rodeo 2wd — Decent power, decent fuel mileage, plenty of room, great suspension but rough ride at times. Crappy GM automatic transmission. Cheap to maintain. Burns a little oil every now and again. 5-link rear suspension cuts down on weight, and helps prevent roll-over. Strong vehicle that's actually built to last. Overall I love my Rodeo! Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

1998 Isuzu Rodeo 2.2 — This is a well built and very durable vehicle. A bit low on power with the 2.2 4 cyl. but still a strong runner even beyond the 170,000 mile mark. I have owned my 98 Rodeo since new and had traded in an older 4 Runner that I just couldnt stand working on. Seems Toyota likes to put an excessive amount of computer controlled devices on their vehicles which cause more and more problems with the vehicle as it ages. My 4 Runner needed $1000.00 in oxygen sensors (4) @ 98,000 miles and my Isuzu only has one sensor which needed replacement at 125,000 miles at a cost of $65.00. I will never buy Toyota again and will always have huge respect for Isuzu. | ||

Hated To See It Go! — I used to take this SUV off-road almost every weekend. It never had any major failures, but it start making a loud ticking noise (probably valves). The fuel mileage was starting to become annoying. It only got about 12-14mpg (on average). Still, I hated to see it go! |
