1983 Daihatsu Rocky review from Australia and New Zealand
"A good ski wagon that starts first pop"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox isn't the strongest. Thrust bearing went.
Glove box fell out; lots of squeaks and rattles.
General comments?
This car is a great little wagon for round town and weekend 4wding, but not too serious of road though, it will perform well, but it won't last.
Verry cheap on gas and low maintenance.
Stiff and jerky ride, but hey it's a 4x4.
