1982 Daihatsu F50 2.5diesel
Summary:
Great starter 4wd
Faults:
The front left hub bolts are weak from the moment they left the production line. The ignition doesn't turn back, and the handbrake is very stiff.
General Comments:
This makes a good first 4wd and you can learn a lot in one. They are great on the beach and light on fuel. Their suspension is a real problem when you feel every tiny rock in the road. They have a hell of a lot of low-down torque, but are not very good at doing speeds of over 80km/h, and are very noisy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
