2016 Isuzu MU-X LS-M review - Long-term owner

Multimedia and safety technology: 7/10

Safety-wise, the car has everything you could hope for. I’m glad it doesn’t have all the ‘mod cons’ like lane assist etc. - in the country those additions are a death trap in my opinion. It's very much lacking in the multimedia department, whereas many other cars of this vintage had the full works.

Practicality: 9/10

The only fault, if I have to find one, is that it does not have a telescopic steering wheel.  Everything else in the interior if fantastic, including the storage options in both the cabin and boot.

Driving: 10/10

Apart from being loud on country roads, the driving experience is fantastic.  It has grunt when needed and is happy to just cruise along as well. It sits on the road nicely without bouncing around. It tows like a dream.

Running costs: 10/10

Everything expense-wise is really reasonable. Like all cars you can never achieve the factory designated L/km, but servicing, insurance etc. is all excellent. Because nothing goes wrong with them, servicing is really the only regular cost aside from fuel.

Reliability: 10/10

I have never felt so assured I am safe and the car is not going to break down.  With all the country kilometres I do, that is a big worry for me.
