Although it was retired from the Aussie market well over two decades ago, the tough-as-nails Daihatsu Feroza maintains a loyal fan base thanks to its compact dimension and super-effective 4WD systems.
Sold here from 1995 to 1999 it was powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine matched with either a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed auto transmission.
The line-up currently starts at $3,960 for the Feroza SX II (4X4) and ranges through to $5,830 for the range-topping Feroza SX II (4X4).
The Daihatsu Feroza (called the Rocky or SporTrak overseas) was sold in part-time 4x4 or full-time 4x4 variants depending on the gearbox chosen.
Daihatsu Ferozas carried a kerb weight of 1206kg when new.
Even the newest Daihatsu Feroza is 20-years-old now so they're verging on classic car territory, and this means many will require engine and transmission overhauls, if not even bigger work. Coupled with the fact they are renowned as hardy off-road 4x4s the chances of finding one which hasn't had a hard life is going to be extremely difficult.
All that considered, however, they are well-made and generally reliable vehicles when in good operating order.
