Model Reviewed: Isuzu Hombre

Strength:

utility, a/c

Weakness:

A manufacturer that won't help you when you need them..."Talk to your local dealership".

I purchased this truch new in 2000. Have put 150k miles on it with no problems. All of a sudden...major problem. It quit on me while on the road and have sunk $1300 into it and the problem still isn't fixed. Master Isuzu mechanic has told me: "sorry". He even suggested that I take it to the GM dealer!

The codes showing up are: open injector circuit and random misfire...Any of you all have similar problem? If I had to do it again, I wouldn't buy it. Paint job was week, scratches when you look at it.

Strength:

none, the truck is nothing but problems and i so regret buying it.

Weakness:

everything!!! it is a very cheap made truck and with all the problems it has,and all the same ones on lots of hombres, seems like isuzu should make good on them, i paid 11995.00 for the truck and have put atleast 1500.00 or more into it for repairs and that was just on repairs that couldnt wait, i have a list of repairs still needing to be done, it is a rip-off,i will NEVER own another isuzu not even if its marked down half price!

i bought my hombre in 1999 it had 4000 miles on it. 2 weeks later the turn signals quit.both seat handles have broke,driver side broke twice,windshield wiper motor quit,has had a bad paint job since i have owned it,driverside window crank broke,has a fluid leak, not forsure if its oil or trans fluid,gasket on the motor blowed,and now the cat converter it messed up.

Strength:

-Looks Sweet -Stylish -Good 4wd -Fun

Weakness:

-Alot of stupid repairs -No acceleration -Low power

This truck definantely looks cool and is fun to drive. The 4WD works great and the drive train is very dependable. This truck will run into the ground when it comes to the motor. 300000kms on the clutch and still runnning strong. But this truck will nickle and dime you to death.HAd to fix power windows broke, new cluctch master cylinder, new throw out berring, new ignition, the lsit goes on. It also leaks like a civ.

Model Reviewed: ISUZU HOMBRE

Strength:

IT HANDLES CURBS AND OTHER STUFF I PUT IN FRONT OF IT BEING A STOCK TRUCK.

Weakness:

THE MOTOR IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. IT IS TOO SLOW MAKES A LOT OF NOISE AND THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH STUFF TO BUY FOR THE MOTOR FOR MORE HORSEPOWER.

THIS TRUCK IS TOO SLOW AND DOES NOT HAVE THAT GOOD OF GAS MILEAGE, PLUS IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE CHEVY S-10. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE MOTOR AND FRONT GRILL. IF I COULD TRADE IT IN I WOULD IN A HEART BEAT.

THE CHEVY S-10 IS THE EXACT SAME TRUCK JUST WITH A DIFFERENT MOTOR AND GRILL AND A LOT MORE FASTER.

Model Reviewed: ISUZU HOMBRE XS

Strength:

Price and reliability , more basic warranty than GM clones 5yr/60k mi. Get the upgraded stereo, it's awesome and the bench seats with deluxe cloth add about $1,000 but, it's worth it for comfort. I love the aluminum rims and heavy duty sport supspension.AC is the coldest you will find anywhere on the planet and having managed many car rental facilities, i know what i am talking about. This truck is as much quality and reliability as any other more expensive vehicle. I have owned other cars that cost me twice the money and they got traded because they made me angry when they left me on the side of the road. Foreign is not any better than anything made in shreveport LA. This truck converted me from my old thinking that foreign is better quality. American vehicles are just as good if not better than any Honda Toyota or Nissan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weakness:

limited seating for more than two people but, it's a truck worth buying if you are single or just have one other person.

I purchased this vehicle new in January of 1999 for $12250 tax and tag included and have driven it over 94,500 miles since. I have only done regular service and a few little quirky things that cost less than $100.oo such as the egr valve sensor when a spark plug wire went bad and and was arching and a battery at 70k miles. I couldn't ask for more dependibility and having owned a new nissan sentra before, it is definately more vehicle for less money. I would recommend this vehicle for anyone that wants a nice looking yet dependible vehicle to drive. five stars all they way. The resales are cheap in the newspaper , save your pennies and bargain for the best price with cash.

Model Reviewed: Isuzu Pickup

Strength:

Fairly good on gas and easy to drive. Basic enginee and not too hard to fix. No problem in getting new parts

Weakness:

Engine runs poorly when raining out. Very little room in Cab. Needs more features such as a clock.

It is not a bad little truck. When I got it there was some rust on it from being in Alberta. Otherwise there are no real problems. I enjoy driving it around. When it rains sometimes water gets in the gas and then it gets cranky. (funds in CDN)

Model Reviewed: /hombre

Strength:

With patience you can find anything to soup up the 4 banger engine to be quite the streetrod will take most parts from s-10, gmc sonoma(94-00), blazer, gmc jimmy (95-01)

Weakness:

not enought power... buy seatcovers No room for speakers

I bought this truck off of some guy for peanuts. Sure it had 130,000 on it but it runs like a friggin champ. I love this truck overall and I would buy one New if they could give me more Ponies. I recommend dropping the front end 2 or 3 inches (eibach springs) and getting stiffners for the leaf springs
