1997 Isuzu Oasis Is One Smooth Customer

10/04/96

Smooth is when you get out of a bucking, over-tired, 4-wheel drive, truck platformed sport utility and get behind the wheel of a docile family mini van--in this case the new Isuzu oasis. It's a four cylinder, but seems to have the spunk needed to haul you around town. Don't know how this vehicle would react performance-wise with six passengers however. For 1997 it has:

Minor changes to on board diagnostic system
Intermittent windshield wipers
New colors
2.2 liter 4 cylinder, 16 valve engine
140 HP Four wheel double wishbone suspension
Dual air bags
Four speed automatic trans
Four swing out doors
Curb weight         3473 lbs
ABS
Length               187.2 in
Cargo volume         152.8
Fuel tank             17.2 gal
MPG                   20 city   24 hwy
