`Doesnt hold its value at all...bought it for 19000...after 6 weeks traded it in for a vette and got about 10000 for it `Rough ride `gas milage sux `rear visability isnt all that great `windows tend to "freeze up" in cold tempatures This is one of..if not the nicest SUVs out there. The interior is sweet... (black and orange leather in mine).Pretty fast for a suv of its size and wieght. also is a nie car for the snow and maybe some off roading as well. |

Isuzu Vehicross
Strength:
A-For starters, there's a wonderful Internet "family" out there dedicated to the Vehicross. It seems like the great majority of the 4100-odd VX's sold in the USA have owners that have the same fondness for their trucks that I do. Go to www.vehicross.info or www.clubvmag.com to see what I mean. B-Leather Recaro seats, nothing like sitting in a Recaro.... C-18" Chrome rims are stock D-If you like to be unique, this is your truck, you'll never see yourself coming and going....and if you do, it's an event, as VX etiquette demands you stop and say "Hi!" E-Decent stock (Fujitsu Ten) stereo with Clarion speakers....I replaced mine anyway. F-Fun to drive! It truly embodes the concept of a SUV that drives like a sports car...well, like a damn sporty truck at least. G-Surprisingly roomy backseat and cargo area...of course, one does a interesting little dance to climb in the back seat, but oh well. Can hold multiple suitcases along with my skiis.
Weakness:
A-Mileage...not so nice. 15 city, 19 highway. B-For some odd reason, the rear door only opens with a key. However, you can buy a rear door "popper", along with host of other great VX after-market modications, at http://tonemonday.com C-As everyone says, Rear window visibility...easily fixed with "Vaneyes", which is a parabolic mirror which affixes to inside of rear window, and 2" blind spot mirrors stuck to your side mirrors. Actually, that feature has probably made me a better driver, as there's no way I make a lane change unless the coast is clear from multiple angles. What a fantastic truck. I have wanted this truck ever since seeing it on a dealer's lot in 99. Due to G.M. telling Isuzu to halt production at the end of the 01 model year, I was able to buy my dream truck for well under the 32 K sticker, along with 0.0 % financing. The Vehicross is a rare combination of speed (9 sec's 0-60, not bad), off-road capability (not that I would, but it's like a mountain goat in the snow), and head-turning, jaw-dropping good looks. I took off the tacky Isuzu logos ("debadging"), so now the question is always "What is it, is that an '03?" I intend to drive this truck for the next 6-7 years...my only worry is how to replace it? Hopefully the VX-02 concept car will be ready for me by then.... Similar Products Used: 1994 Geo Tracker |

Strong engine,supercharged, computer, great suspention, tough as a rock wouldnt trade it for any Suv
Weakness:
needs better rear windows, but that can change with a camrea isuzu made just for this suv This is the best suv I had yet, we live in Oregon were it is wet everyday and when we take it in to the mountains, it just eats it all up. Snow cant even stop it. 3' of snow, no problem. the Cherokeeand Explorer had to be pulled up by this amazing suv and i got photos Similar Products Used: nothing else, maybe a landrover |

Strength:
Everything about the truck is awsome.
Weakness:
rear window is useless This is the coolest SUV in the world! If your driving on the street and you see a mud pit, this truck takes it with ease, no worries. Don't think so? Come drive mine, and you'll fall in love with it. It also has two tone leather seats and carbon fiber. I own a 99 model, and will not own another SUV other than a Isuzu Vehicross. I've very proud of this truck, and it shows. I've added a 3 inch suspension kit and red flames. When you buy this truck you'll go nuts! Similar Products Used: nothing is Similar. |

Ok I don''t know why some people are saying that its not comfortable in the backseat. Plenty of leg room and I love the way the seats recline, ok I''ve never owned a vehicle where the backseats do that I guess i''m pretty easy to please. The over all look says it all, I mean I have never seen a vehicle that screams LOOK AT ME quite the way the V does without even trying.
Weakness:
I''d have to say is the money issues its caused. Oh not THOSE money issues, the other ones. For some unknown reason either I or my husband runs out of SOMETHING just about every single day eat out......or the gas tank is a quarter short of beand oddly enough we find ourselves running to the grocery store all the time!!! Or we suddenly get cravings to eat out or we better go get gas the tank is a quarter short of being full.... Ok if you want to read the technical stuff this review is not for you. Let''s just say I have never been that into cars and trucks in other words I never really knew what I would end up getting for my first REAL ride. Hey i''m only 22!! But let me tell you the last time I saw this puppy which I think was a year ago, can''t really remember cause I''ve only seen like THREE in my entire life, I knew ours would be a love to last a lifetime:) I knew I must have scared the owners pretty badly. I was driving in town on the way to Walmart and I happened to get behind one, and I felt like my heart was going to leap out of my chest because I hadn''t seen one in a year or so, and I had NO IDEA what it was. I just knew that I wanted one. I wasn''t wearing my glasses at the time so I could barely read what was written on the back of the door. I was almost kissing their bumper before I could read the word Izuzu, yeah i know my eye sight isn''t the best. See even a blind person will love (or hate) the look of this thing!! Well maybe not blind:) Well at the risk of giving those people a heart attack I didn''t follow them to their parking space when we both turned into the walmart I went one way and they went somewhere else. During my entire shopping excursion all I could think about was that Izuzu-whatever-it-was. I knew I would get one someday when I happened to get behind them AGAIN (by accident I swear!!) when we were leaving the store. From that day on I kept a look out for one but I never saw one again until this year I drove onto a Izuzu dealership and they had one in the showroom. A black beauty it was!! Unfortunately the dealership was closed and all I could manage was a drive by drooling:) And when i did go back it was SOLD!!!! Oh I couldn''t believe it I was so sick!!! So about a month later I drove back and just as I was about to drive off the lot I caught a glimpse of one sitting on the back row beside an izuzu trooper, an olive green one. Once again the dealership was closed. However,No way was I gonna let this one get away and I went back with my husband the following saturday. I never in a million years thought they''d let me take it. Sure my credit was excellent but I was still kind of fresh in the game. My husband kept saying are you sure, Oh I was sure alright and the papers were signed and that badboy was mine!!! Oh I was so happy!! Still am, No regrets.
