Default Bought an Isuzu Rodeo today!

Needed something for work as the mileage on the MY03 wagon is getting a little high, and tbh the fuel costs are killing me with the mileage I'm doing, so....

Thanks to the very nice Mr Armstrong @ Stan Palmers, I am now the proud owner of a brand new Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max

Drove it the 130 or so miles back from Palmers and it was worth the wait- whilst I wouldn't swap either of the scoobies for it (well maybe the STi5 type R, as its broken ), it certainly is a worthy and capable addition to the collection

One of the guys at work has one of them and they are good.
A bit better finnished than the L200 but perhaps not as fashionable.

yep a bit scary going sideways in one of these though, you need a lot of road. not to be recommended.

dont think you will find the fuel consumptionmuch better (if at all) in the rodeo than in the impreza. my mate has an L200 2.5 td and that is no better on fuel than my classic scoob

Mine is currently averaging about 27 to the gallon, the Impreza is doing 19ish. I tend to drive both the same, so think that the Rodeo will do better once I learn to use the torque properly.

To be honest I wasn't sure what an Isuzu Rodeo Denver Max was but that looks rather cool Simon!
