The truth is that isuzu 3.2 & 3.5L are between the worst engines that any jap automaker ever built.

Even brand-new these engine came with a very lousy noise,which to me was a time bomb just waiting to go BOOM.

Plus 215hp for the weight of the VX was just not enough.

The 2001 nissan pathfinder with their 3.5L produces 240hp. and definately well built,strong and much less issues than isuzu's 3.5L

Many people say that the VX's interior was a huge dissapointment,but as far as i can see the really dissapointment is this engine.
