1989 Daihatsu Feroza from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

I have a question, how fast can the Daihatsu feroza go in kph???

Dont now how fast does it go???

My feroza can go up to a speed of a 120 km/h. haven't tried going over that.

120 is nothing. My sneaks up around the 130 to 135 mark. Wait till the new engine is fitted.

I've driven it at over 160, and 140 over long, long stretches. (220.000 kilometers on the clock so far..)

I've had my 1997 Sportrak (a.k.a. Feroza in Iceland) firing down the motorway with a tail-wind at a noisy 85m.p.h. (136km/h)

The engine was good for more, but I didn't wish to overdo it. Great small jeep. 4L is superb in the snow, and compared to the newer Terios or Suzuki Jimny there's no comparison in terms of getting away from the lights. The Terios couldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding, and the Jimny is okay for circus midgets.

I got "done" doing 129 km/h in a 110 zone, and I was holding her back, it was only on 4100 RPM. I reckon she was good for 150 km/h no worries. (Was down a hill).

In the last three years I have had two feroza's one normal 1993 and I have 1995sx11 this is a real good round town and on the open road it is good for 110 ++ with a lot of power yet have not been off road yet value for money no one.

As I have larger tyres on my feroza my speedo is a bit funny... it reads 10 ks over what I'm actually doing (the tyres causing the problem is my theory) and I've had her up at about 140 kms... ie 130 going down hill...that's about as fast as she'll go though... shes no speed demon, but shes got some guts to her... go the feroza.

We have a 1989 Feroza which we love, but we keep getting a petrol smell inside the car. We had it serviced and nothing was found, has anyone esle experienced this and if so whats the cause?

I've had mine hookin at a crazy 170 clicks. down hill of course.
