Pros: What do you like about 2008 Isuzu i-290?
Many amenities found on more expensive trucks - but without the outlandish costs (cruise control, tire pressure monitoring, automatic lights). Easy shifting on 5 spd, and plenty of driver passenger room (absent rear occupants).
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Isuzu i-290?
1) Trouble fitting child seats on rear jump seats, though LATCH system in place - not enough seat support to fit child seats safely.
2) Either rear side windows need to open or need rear sliding window (or both).
3) Much wind noise from seam where front and rear door meet (water gets in going through automatic car wash, too).
4) Cup holders need to be deeper and both standard size (one is too small, the other too wide).
5) Would've been nice to have keyless entry available.
2008 Isuzu i-290 Review:
Overall, the truck is what you buy it for - to haul stuff without much flash and reasonable comfort. If you're looking for a family truck, don't buy this.
