The Isuzu D-Max makes sense at the top end of the range, and it makes sense in base SX guise. Sure, you miss some of the tinsel, but there's no getting away from the fact this is a very good ute.

Sebastian Sporea purchased this Isuzu D-Max new with additional options for $57,000 (including all on-road costs). Sebastian Sporea would buy this car again because: "Despite paying a premium price for it because it was readily available, I'd pay it again, and again, and again. It really is the best lightweight dual-cab in its class. Does everything you want it to do and more. "
