Isuzu Trooper reviews

I love my trooper so much. I think it looks great, Amazing off road, a real work horse and bomb proof, never let me down and get the feeling it never will. If your undecided whether to get one, I say go for it, the best vehicle I have owned by far!

very powerful 3.0 16 valve turbo diesel, relatively good on fuel, now very reliable after fixing the very common and well documented injector issues! Amazing offroad performance, mine is modified but even in standard trim will outrun most Land Rover models second hand prices also amazing, a fifth the price of a same year Defender, and a whole world of difference in spec! Parts are readily available, modified ones a little thin on the ground but enough available to make a very competent offroader, with superb comfort and equipment levels. Push button four wheel drive selection on the go, no messing around with dirty hubs either, even driving at 30mph, perfect for on road driving when the snow gets here!

It has provided a good solid reliability for the country area in which I live. However when repairs/parts are needed it is extremely expensive.

My Isuzu has become part of the family. I live in the country and use my car to tow the horse box, level the horse arena, do fencing around our farm,collect goods for my business and all the normal things a busy woman finds to do in an normal week! I will make it into a chicken coup when it finally gives up! Who says Isuzu are not reliable?? Rock on

Because I live in a remote area of northern Ireland, and the road services are not that brilliant in the winter, without a 4x4 there would be many occasions when it would be difficult if not impossible to get out in the winter. For that reason, I have to accept that motoring is going to cost me more than I would like were it practical to have a more economical vehicle. The vehicle I own is reliable and comfortable, a pleasure to drive and an all round good utility vehicle, all be it a little heavy on fuel usage.

My car is a Japanese import ( bighorn ) it has never let me down passes the mot every time with one exception being a exhaust failure , no rust, starts every time even in the coldest conditions. When put into four wheel drive it takes me through extreme conditions ie. two foot of snow, and one foot of water, it is the one vehicle I will keep for the rest of my life.

Excellent workhorse but very sore on diesel
