1993 Daihatsu Feroza SXP II 1.6 petrol

Summary:

A great, reliable, affordable off-road vehicle

Faults:

When I obtained the vehicle, it had bald front tires.

The rear tires were also too big for the 4 wheel drive ride height.

The indicator stalk makes a weird noise when indicating left, it can stop the indicator from working. Still not fixed.

Ride height too low. Needs a lift kit to be practical.

General Comments:

The Feroza, especially the wide track model (SXP II) is a great affordable off-road vehicle.

Mine cost $11600 Australian, and was in mint, original condition.

Although underpowered by the small 1.6 Litre engine, the low-range gearbox does help it off road.

Mine came with alloy wheels, bull-bar, side steps, tow-bar, and all power options.

After purchase, I added some Goodyear Wrangler AT/R tires. My biggest improvement ever, on and off the road.

All in all, a good cheap 4 wheel drive package.

A recommended buy for the young, interested off-roader.

Did you find out about the left indicator yet, as mine is doing it now and I'm not sure what it is?

Cheers, Jye.

Summary:

Stunning looking vehicle, but needs modifications

Faults:

Clutch fan gave way.

General Comments:

Well where do I start, I love the look of the Feroza, mine being the wide track model. My baby has been modified, 2 inch suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift with 31 inch all terrain tyres all around on a nice set of mag wheels.

Not a bad little 4wd considering that I have taken it on some serious 4wd tracks and it handled it quite well.

2 things let this car down which are the manufacturers fault, the gutless motor and the front suspension.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

1993 Daihatsu Feroza SXP11 1.6 EFI

Summary:

It is a Beast and I have no regrets in my purchase

Faults:

Clutch went whilst off road, had to replace the whole clutch kit.

Had to fix two cracks on the guards in the engine bay.

And the heater doesn't work.

General Comments:

Apart form those few problems it is a great all round fun car to own and drive. I paid $15000 for it and it has been worth every cent, plus it is a chick magnet especially when the removable hard top is off.
