Love Love Love my MUX

published

There is nothing about this vehicle that i do not like.
It is so great to drive the seats are comfortable and there is ample leg room.
The dash is easy to see and not to distracting.
Great fuel economy even around town and if you are on the highway it is exceptional.
Great for towing our caravan Loves driving in the sand and off road

Better than I expected

published

Drives brilliantly, tows very well with plenty of low down torque. Handled hard off road work easily with other 4x4's struggling (Mitsubishi Pajero & Toyota Fortuna). Interior very commercial and could be softened. Steering adjustment could be better (no reach adjustment) . I expected a more ute like drive but the softer coil rear suspension destroyed my expectations. The dealer and Isuzu follow up and customer care far exceeds what I have received from other makers in the past.

fuel economy

published

My 2014 MUX has been a pleasure to drive. I bought it when I first retired and have only just gone over 30,000kms.
Unfortunately the fuel consumption has increased after each of the last two services at the dealer recommended service centre in a northern Perth suburb.
After the last service I also noticed a whistling noise when taking my foot off the gas (without breaking). Also the digital fuel indicator seems to go from 190km range to 0km range.

Nagging faults

published

I did my checking and could not fault from other reviews. Vehicle ran ok for the first eight months. Nagging problems with fuel gauge jumping about and blue tooth not holding my phone but learnt to live with. Then the problems started, fuel sensor packed up dealer knew straight away what was wrong. Two weeks later had to be towed in again. This time, fingers crossed they found it, rusted wiring loom to the fuel rail. Took three weeks to get fixed. Two weeks after getting car back broke down again. Third time in eleven weeks, been off the road for four of those. Told its the same problem the new fuel sensor has failed. Fingers crossed it is now fixed.

Great car.

published

Solid car. Isuzu could improve sound system, suspension and the cheap looking dash. Fuel gauge is a bit funny as it jumps in 50's. Otherwise great can't fault anything else at 50,000km now. I will upgrade to the 2016/17 model soon since this one I bought in 2013 didn't come with keyless entry and ignition.

Plenty of research pays off

published

After some 6 months of research I picked up my mid spec mux LSU great to drive perhaps a tad noisy but fuel economy is brilliant I am averaging around 8l/ 100 around town and some highway..I had put on extras as it did not include a rear camera which is a must

Early days yet but actually enjoy driving it..greta space but doesn't feel as big
I drove Prado for a week and found it felt big as well but I thought why pay another $12k..

extremely happy

published

D Max lsm crew cab now 4 years old and cannot fault it. Initially a bit thirst but at 40000 kms now getting from 7.6 to 7.9 litres per 100 kms. Pull my 4.85 Sea Jay boat beautifully. Will definately buy another, maybe an MUX next time? If not an MUX will go for the LSU version, bit more bling. Very,very happy.

Is let down by the GPS

published

The car drives OK but when you pay $50+K for a car you expect a GPS that works. The one in the MUX LST has maps that are out of date and they want $150 for an update. Even then, you can only get maps that are at least 12 months out of date. Not acceptable to me.

Great multipurpose vehicle

published

Had Mu-x LST 6 months, very happy. No problems whatsoever. Tows 2100kg (240kg ball weight) caravan brilliantly without a weight distribution hitch, minimal rear sag. Fuel consumption under 9 l/100km around town, under 12 l/100km towing the van, amazing. Smooth, refined, ample power and torque. Could have a few more features such as auto headlights and wipers, radar cruise control, more passenger seat adjustment but still great value for Isuzu dependability when compared to Prado, Fortuner, Everest etc.

Polished monster

published

1 year now owning this bronze beauty. Solid car, good handling even for a petite 5 foot 2 lady like me (though does require a bit of scrambling up to get on the seat). More than ample space, kids love the in car entertainment system, powerful AC. Impressive off road ability. Few glitches initially with handbrake adjustment and alignment but rectified by dealer promptly. Hoping for many many years of faithful service.

Automatic Shudder

published

Can anyone advise what is wrong with my 1015 DMAX Ute. On take off and stopping there is a "shudder" It seems to run rough and I am very unhappy. The vehicle has done 17000 km and it has been going on since 15000. The dealer has acknowledged the problem and advised they are working on repairing the fault. Be interested if anyone else has had a problem. I am in Western Australia.

Best 4wd i ever had

published

After 3 month usage, down with 4000km on odo and I could not be happier.
Put a set of D697 AT tyre on, and it works awesome.

7L on highway, 9L around town is great fuel economy. Did some tracks in high country VIC, it was so capable when climbing hills.

Something down side, light is not that bright when it getting dark, and great fuel economy but fuel tank is small.

Every tank when I doing refuel is finish around 54L, even the d max get 76L fuel tank, may get a 120L aftermarket long range tank in the future.

All in all, its a very good 4wd, love my little truck, and great job, ISUZU

Great family car

published

Great family car. We have had ours for a year. Good fuel economy on local and long distance trips. Is very comfortable. Our child loves the inbuilt DVD player. Plenty of room and drives perfectly on the beach. We highly recommend the Isuzu MUX. We are very happy with it and can't fault it.

Error in Fuel Consumption

published

I've had the LS-T version for 6 months now and can't complain.
I note "Young's" comment of 15 June about the fuel consumption readout on the dash display. I too was initially confused at first glance but then noticed that the gauge measures kilometres per litre NOT litres per 100 kms. Therefore, the more highway running you do, the higher the figure. In Young's case, he was getting 12 kilometres per litre of fuel used, not 12 litres per 100 kms travelled. I'm currently travelling about 9.5kms per litre used around town.
In all, a great car but pity about the Bridgestone Dueler H/T tyres. Woeful!!
