1988 Daihatsu Fourtrak EL Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Superb all-rounder, no complaints"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine replacement at 110,000 miles after dreadful weather and not enough anti-freeze (my fault).
Overheating when traveling for long periods above 70mph. Replacement radiator improved situation, but still overheating on occasions.
General comments?
Load carrying and passenger space superb.
Driver comfort and visibility excellent.
Good ride quality on the road, very good ride quality off road.
After 14 years I really want a new one just the same.
