1992 Daihatsu Feroza SXP II review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good car if you have patience and like 4wdriving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch cable snapped at 198000.. cost $70 and about 5 minutes of my time to fix it. Too easy.
Radiator seal broke at 198000 also, cost $280 to have it re-sealed.
General comments?
Car has been reliable, and a pretty rad looking car. Slowest car on the road, and I mean it is ridiculously slow.. maybe that's because I don't like revving it above 3 grand.
Off-Road keeps up with the big boys, taken it on some serious trails including to be the only car up a 35 degree hill that 2 80 series cruisers lifted with 33's and diff's locked got stuck. also rolled it on its side about 30 minutes later, pushed it back up, no damage. Good times!
With a couple of speakers in the back and a head deck sound is good in the car and is comfortable enough for 4 blokes to sit in.
Makes an annoying whistling sound above 3 thousand revs when pushing it a bit, also making it a shocker on the highway.
Best off road. and at the beach.
