Isuzu i-280 Review Summary
"The S Plus Preferred Equipment Package adds rear jump seats for two additional passengers."
"Handles well on- and off-road?"
"...simple rotary climate controls and a large stereo faceplate make the interior seem instantly familiar as soon as you get in. The gauges are similarly basic, but functional in their design."
What reviewers liked least about the Isuzu i-280:
"...lack of off-the-line punch and odd exhaust notes are disappointing?"
"Out on the road, neither the four- or five-cylinder engine provides acceleration on par with V6 and V8 engines offered by the Dodge Dakota, Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma."
"Materials range from average to substandard in quality, and build quality is inconsistent."
"Aside from the front fascia and a few small cosmetic distinctions, the i-280 and i-350 are GM hardware to the core."
Isuzu i-280 Comparisons:
"In government crash tests, the similar Chevy Colorado earned four stars (out of five) for both the driver and front passenger in frontal-impact testing, and four out of five stars in side-impact testing for front passengers, and five stars for rear passengers."
Best one-liners about the Isuzu i-280:
"Trucks may have gotten more hospitable in recent years, but don't expect anything fancy in the i-Series' cabin."
