1991 Daihatsu Feroza F300 series from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

"The Feroza is a tough little work horse four wheel drive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The water pump blew at 122,000 kilometers, apparently a very rare thing for the Feroza water pump.

General comments?

The Feroza is a excellent off-road car and the torque at low range is quite substantial.

I have installed a set of extractors and this really improves the engine's power and fuel economy.

I found the cabin to be roomy and well laid out and comments from the back seats are always about how roomy it is in the back.

The engine has caused no troubles except for the water pump, it has been really low maintenance.

The Feroza is quite a capable towing vehicle, I frequently tow my 15 foot ski boat and have had no trouble and only needing the four wheel drive on one occasion.

Hi I'm running my daihatsu feroza with extractors and I'm getting shocking fuel economy... 400ks to the tank (60 litres) while I will never knock the little girl I can't help, but flinch every time I go to fill up the tank... I am running very agressive cooper tyres at the moment and I suspect they are my problem as a lot of reviews around the place indicate she is quite fuel efficient... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks all.

The bigger, more chunky the tyres, the greater the friction, which ultimately, affects the fuel consumption, and quite dramatically so.

Hi. I’m looking at buying a 1993 Feroza, but am worried about the amount of fuel one might consume. I love most things about the Feroza its just the fuel consumption of a four wheel drive that may be concerning. Any tips?

I to have recently got the Daihatsu Feroza bug. The question of fuel usage is not that simple. As a Mechanic for almost 15 years I think I have some idea to guide you in the right direction. Basically there are 3 'factors', vehicle condition, driving style and fuel grade or quality. First vehicle condition meaning motor performance and rolling resistance. Is the engine in good condition and timed well (tuned) to suit your choice of fuel (91/95/98 RON). Does the vehicle move freely, no brake drag, good tyre choice and no unnecessary heavy stuff left in the vehice to add weight for example. Second, don't gun it every time the light changes green or hold 2nd gear (at 3500RPM) when the vehicle could easily coast along in 3rd or 4th. Hopefully you get the drift (no pun intended)! Last of all the fuel goes something like good in good out. This advice is not 100% in all cases, so use your head and ask around. But anyway fresh fuel with a high Octane rating like BP Ultimate will work best and yes it costs more which is up to you. Remember what the motor is designed to run on. Happy trails!

Can anyone tell me how the Feroza F300B rides as far as reliability goes? Looking at picking a 1996 model. I previously owned a six seater Toyota Land Cruiser, which was just awesome.

Thoughts would be very appreciated! kclifford007@hotmail.com
