ISUZU Trooper: Level up ... Attention! “Buy a car? A good one? But what about the roads? On our asphalt paths that indicate the direction of travel, you can only get your bearings! And what a cover! If you try to go around the hole, you will run over a hillock. " Such a monologue may well belong to a person advising a friend not to be mistaken in choosing a car, talking about how he himself is not happy with a car with a small ground clearance, stiff suspension and low-profile tires. For a confident and comfortable ride on our roads, off-road vehicles are more suitable - this has been checked. Thank God, the choice is great and the problem of choice is the only difficulty (apart from such trifles as money) on the way to buying an SUV. And I don't want to miscalculate at all. So what should you choose? A normal person cannot ride all day on various tests and trials in search of something suitable. It turns out that there is a certain deficit of subjective evaluations of https://cars45.com.gh/listing/isuzu/trooper  machines. This information vacuum is just filled with materials generalized by the thematic test drive. This time, the subject of our tests was the Isuzu Trooper. What do you mean don't remember such a car? Perhaps you are more familiar with the name of the twin - Opel Monterey? Surely. But it doesn't matter, because the cars are exactly the same. Only under the "native" name - Isuzu - they are better sold in the USA and Japan, and Europe consumes more of the product under the Opel trademark. What can you do, GM's corporate strategy. Recall that both Opel and Isuzu are part of the American concern General Motors. Everything seems to be clear with family ties. Let's move on to "washing the bones" of a single machine. Approaching the car, you completely cease to feel your height (184 centimeters) - it is simply huge. It's a strange thing - in its appearance there are no special design solutions, pretentious lines, but it looks very extraordinary. The only complaint is that the car looks very heavy and heavy. But later we were convinced that despite the really considerable weight (1920 kg), the car is very playful and responsive. But more on that later, now let's dwell on visual impressions in more detail. We open the doors leading to the rear seats. We enter (!) Into the salon. It is we who enter, slightly bent over, but this can in no way be called climbing. Gigantism is inherent in the car not only in external features, but in everything else, including in the cabin. However, this also has its drawbacks - a high threshold is quite capable of creating difficulties when landing for short people, especially women, and even more so in long skirts (let them wear short ones!). But if you climb into the back seats, you will understand what three full-fledged seats are. Perhaps three paratroopers in full ammunition will be able to sit quietly without interfering with each other and without touching the back of the front seat, even if it is pushed to the extreme position. Driver's seat? Strange, why is it still not occupied? We quickly fix this error. Well what can I say, the navigator-consultant will surely remember this trip as the quietest in the life of this car. Everything disposes of this style of driving - large dimensions, easy steering, comfortable driver's seat, calm music (this, in our opinion, is not entirely from the category of Isuzu engineers), soft suspension, which for some reason very easily "eats" long vibrations , but when it hits small holes, it passes blows to the body. In short, you can relax on the track. I did not like only one trifle - the indicator of switching to a higher gear. The essence of this device is that if the driver wants to properly "turn" the engine in order to find out its performance at high revs, then an obsessive red warning lamp lights up on the instrument panel, "reminding" that it is time to switch. This may be good for American sissies raised on automatic transmissions, but not for Europeans. And since we are talking about the gearbox, we note that although we offend the fans of automatic transmissions in every possible way, saying that they simply do not value power over the car, obey the will of the "calculator" and so on, but in fairness it is worth admitting that the Trooper was would be much nicer to drive if it had an automatic transmission. The fact is that the first three gears are selected in such a way that they allow you to perfectly accelerate a heavy colossus, but in city mode they require constant w https://cars45.com.gh/listing/isuzu/trooper
