1995 Daihatsu Feroza SX II 1.6L petrol from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Cheap, reliable and with a few simple modifications, a very capable off roader

Faults:

Just normal wear components such as brakes and clutch.

Did blow the engine up, but it was totally my fault for revving the crap out of it with a cold engine.

General Comments:

Was very capable when I got it, but even more capable now with modifications; extractors, 2 inch exhaust and foam air filter have made on road performance better, with better fuel economy, and off-road with more torque.

Lifted suspension has improved ride comfort and handling, as well as improved off-road performance. Has more then once embarrassed some owners of other 4WD's who think they have something more capable.

1995 Daihatsu Feroza STD 1.6 petrol from Indonesia

Summary:

Not bad for a first car, but if you have/had a sedan, get ready to bump and jump

Faults:

The suspension system keeps me and my buddy passenger bumping.

Bad rolling stock.

General Comments:

It's still a nice car for a small amount of money, and yet the model of Feroza in Indonesia is nicer than the ones in any other countries.

Pretty good for my first car. Could do with more pick up power and a little more head room, but apart from that it does me great.

Very delightful to drive, and because of the low gear ratio, power isn't too much of a problem. Coming from a sedan, the feroza is definatly a good buy - cheap to run, although a bumpy will occur. For example I am getting 500 km to a tank of gas which costs me around $60 to $65 to fill ($NZ).
