Summary:
A powerful and small off roader
Faults:
I needed once to change the clutch, but it was my fault, because I used to step on it on off road experiences!
General Comments:
This car is really great!
It's fantastic where it can get me, it's a fantastic off road car, of course better than a friend's Vitara.
But it is very good, and on road it's comfortable enough and the seats are just great.

Summary:
Stunning looking vehicle, but needs modifications
Faults:
Clutch fan gave way.
General Comments:
Well where do I start, I love the look of the Feroza, mine being the wide track model. My baby has been modified, 2 inch suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift with 31 inch all terrain tyres all around on a nice set of mag wheels.
Not a bad little 4wd considering that I have taken it on some serious 4wd tracks and it handled it quite well.
2 things let this car down which are the manufacturers fault, the gutless motor and the front suspension.

Summary:
Perfect car for extreme off roading
Faults:
Clutch repaired.
Engine was in a very bad situation when I bought the car. Changed with a Toyota Landcruiser turbo diesel engine (Type 2L-T).
General Comments:
Very strong body (used in extreme off-road races - won all races in 1st place).
Torque value is not enough.
Fast for an 4x4.
Successfull with 4.9m turning ability.
Not for tall people (I am 1.88m) as standard (changed the seats, it's OK now).

Summary:
It is a Beast and I have no regrets in my purchase
Faults:
Clutch went whilst off road, had to replace the whole clutch kit.
Had to fix two cracks on the guards in the engine bay.
And the heater doesn't work.
General Comments:
Apart form those few problems it is a great all round fun car to own and drive. I paid $15000 for it and it has been worth every cent, plus it is a chick magnet especially when the removable hard top is off.

Summary:
Reliable Performer
Faults:
The flywheel pulley of the powersteering seized up, but the power-steering was OK.
General Comments:
So far found it very reliable, little off-road, bit bumpy on the highway and a bit cramped for tall people, but generally a good car.
