1993 Daihatsu Feroza SX II review from Australia and New Zealand
"Awesome looking and performing little 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gearbox has a slight whine in 3rd and 4th, but not a major problem. Engine pinging, but fixed in 5 minutes with the correct timing adjustment.
General comments?
This car is great. Lots of people say this car is slow, but I was surprised with its power; I could climb up massive hills in 5th gear doing 110km/h easily. It is obviously no V8 super car, but it's pretty good for a 1.6 pulling along 1750 odd kg.
This car handles exceptionally well (power steering) and the seats are very comfy. Aesthetically this car (widetrack model) with a bullbar and aerial has lots of street appeal, and will turn heads everywhere you go. All in all a great little 4wd that will take you anywhere on a budget.
