1994 Daihatsu Feroza F310 1.6 DOHC Unleaded EFI

Summary:

I have total faith in this car for off-road driving

Faults:

The front shocks have been replaced with Fulcrum off-road suspension. Apart from that, I've had no problems.

The speedometer fails on really bumpy dirt roads.

General Comments:

I drove from Cairns in North QLD, Australia to Pompuraaw, which is on the other side of the state in the Cape York Peninsula. 6 hours of this journey consists of dry, dusty dirt roads, a lot of which is corrugated.

The Feroza handled the journey like a gem, with the only problem being that the speedo dies on excessively rough roads. When she hits the tarmac, it comes good again.

Hey, I'm 16 and am looking to buy my first car. I love the Feroza, however after reading a few comments, I'm a bit worried about the radiator pump and the apparent lack of power. Most people seem to think it's good off road, which is good news for me, as I live in northern Perth, WA so plenty of off road tracks, and I love going off road. Any advice would be appreciated, and also what price would I be looking at for a decent Feroza.

Would a Feroza tow a tool trailer?

I use ours to pull a 5.5 mtr Fizz boat with a 90 HP on the back up the boat ramp, and it doesn't mind too much - pretty hairy, as the boat drags the car down the ramp going in, but I've got used to that.

Summary:

Fantastic ever going ride

Faults:

The grille came loose and constantly rattles.

Carpet is starting to come loose and fray.

No air conditioning!

General Comments:

Fantastic car it runs everywhere and never stops going!

Cabin lights need to be a little brighter and more space is desirable in the boot.

1994 Daihatsu Feroza 1.6

Summary:

We love embarrassing the Land Cruisers and the Pajeros

Faults:

The only problem we have had is we can't decide who's going to drive the car, especially if we are going off road.

General Comments:

It's only a 1.6 liter so it's not a rocket and sometimes on the odd steep highway hill you need to drop down a few gears, but we knew that when we bought it. A few simple mods will fix that. There are a few good web sites on the Feroza's to help anybody out.

Do you know any Internet sites regarding Feroza information and spare parts?

1994 Daihatsu Feroza SX 11 1.6

Summary:

Small , rugged and reliable.. The entire Daihatsu range.. Love em!

Faults:

Nothing.. but I've only just got it.. tell you more after our trek out to Camerons Crossing in the middle of July..

General Comments:

I've now owned several Daihatsu's .. this will be my third.. You can't break em with an axe!! They just keep on going..

Even though the mileage on this second hand Feroza is a little high .. after a full inspection the only thing that needing doing was a new fan belt.. and new tyres..

I'm looking forward to many happy hours playing in the bush!
