sigurado ka ba sa sinasabi mo? ;)

lako:
http://www.daihatsuclubph.org/forum/ try mo dito. madaming info dito regarding sa feroza. madami pa parts nyan. wag lang mga maliliit na abubot at body parts. masasabi ko lang naman, halos kasing dami nyan mga early 90's na suzuki's. mas mura parts nyan kesa suzuki ayon kay claro cruz(owner ng cruven). he actually owns and maintains one. as for the PARUZA nickname. actually ang parusa dyan ay yun gas consumption. the best that na narinig ko ay 8km/l. not bad. pero gas guzzler pa rin ang feroza para sa akin. but compared to the sammy, mas ok ang creature amenities nito. claasic old school look pa dyan sa daihatsu club may mga nagpaparating ng pyesa,lalo na mga rare parts. sa evang may mga nakikita pa nga akong mga pyesa nyan eh. what more sa banawe? pero sa bulacan daw talaga madaming pyesa nyan.

Pare, lahat ng mechanics napapailing pag may pumapasok na Feroza sa talyer...

Honestly, it's not a very good car, for the price madami ka naman makukuhang iba... Layo nyan sa Vitara or something...

Fuel vapors also leaks into the cabin due to stupid breather hose placement.

Yung isang kamaganak namin (matanda na), weird medyo, bought a bnew 97 Feroza dati, sobrang binebaby, as in he uses his F150 and Corolla all the time, but the Feroza nakagarahe at cover lang... Everytime may gagamit, asar na asar sa sikip, hina ng aircon, tagtag, etc... Needless to say, nung ibebenta na nung 2004, nasa 12K palang nasa odo, they still couldn't get a good price on it...

[NovicE]

Sir pitbullz sa banawe nga daw wala ng mahanap e.

[OTEP]

Parang Volvo lang iyan. Everyone says there are no parts for it and mechanics don't even want to touch it. Pero may subculture din ang Daihatsu sa local automotive scene. Hindi nga lang mainstream like Toyota or Honda.

There is still one BRAND NEW [old stock] Feroza. It is at the old Casa Ciudad Daihatsu dealership along Quezon Ave (near Welcome). The unit is unsold and has not been used. The paper tags on the rearview mirror and a/c are still there. The unit is full of dust, though. And when I asked if they were willing to sell it, they had no plans daw. Though they did give me an original Feroza brochure (vintage!).

My ninong also has a Feroza which he rarely uses. He is not fond of driving. He lives in Sampaloc and holds practice in UST. He just uses it to and from UST. When he has somewhere else to go, he takes a cab. The unit is practically brand new. Baka pwede kong hingiin as aginaldo pag nagsawa siya. hehehe.

I've driven one. Unless you have any intentions of going off-road, I wouldn't get one. The clutch is as heavy as a Land Rover Defender's. The engine wails at almost any speed due to the short (off-road oriented) gearing. The ride is bumpy. Suspension design is similar to a GEN I Pajero but the wheelbase is really short. Even the interior looks like a GEN I Pajero.

I did like the tilting/removable sunroof. The Feroza also looks kinda cool in its own way. Btw, dalawa ang Feroza. The first ones and the later face-lifted ones. Initial units were CBU from Japan. As for the facelifted ones, I'm not so sure.

[aceshark]

ok naman feroza e. hinihiram ko dati sa gf ko yung feroza nila. so far, ok naman sa akin. nakakatakot lang yung tunog nung makina on acceleration. kala mo mangangain ng sasakyan sa kalsada. ika-nga, SYENTO-BIENTE. syento ang tunog, biente takbo. pero gusto ko interior nya. old-school talaga with matching aft (tama ba?) and roll sa dash. kulit pa nung tilting roof. tagtag nga lang. and na-experience ko dati nung nagpakabit ako fog lights sa banawe, may sumisigaw ng "PARUSA,PARUSA" from afar. bw!set na yun!

[theveed]

just remember the law of supply and demand when it comes to parts availability, madami sa daan, mas mura ang pyesa hehe.

thanks bro

Daihatsu has left R.P. so understandably, spare parts are not as easy to find as that for other brands.... but somehow we have not considered that a serious problem. We manage

Not for the average driver though....some imagination and resourcefulness required...and that's the fun part of owning a "Faroza" ....

Btw, Daihatsu is 51% owned by Toyota and they have a lot of common parts and even designs, so parts availability for the Feroza should not really be a problem, if you know some of the counterparts. The Daihatsu Feroza is very similar to the Toyota Blizzard if you have seen one.

What are these Daihatsu Feroza / Daihatsu Rocky / Daihatsu Sportrak cars you speak of?"

They are extremely well built utilitarian 4WD vehicles produced by Daihatsu. The phrase 'Toyota Quality' comes to mind; as Toyota Motor Corporation had one third of the controling share of Daihatsu since 1967, and made Daihatsu a subsidiary in 1999. Initial sales in the USA weren't as successful as places like Australia, where it sold it's first passenger vehicle. The Daihatsu Rocky / Feroza / Sportrack has become a very sought after offroading vehicle with a cult like following.

The company was formed in 1907 as the Osaka Motor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. selling under the name Daihatsu or Tsubasa. In 1951 they officially changed their name to Daihatsu Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha.

Courtesy of Wikipedia:

"The Daihatsu Rocky was a small SUV produced in Japan from 1987 to 1998. The first generation was sold from 1987 to 1993, with a SOHC or DOHC 1.6 L engine. It was sold in the United States from 1988 through 1992 when Daihatsu was available in the continent, but sales were extremely poor. In Europe and Australia, where the car was more popular, it was called Daihatsu Feroza, as Rocky was used for the bigger Rugger/Fourtrak.

The second generation was introduced in 1993 but differed little from the original model, retaining the same chassis and engine, although the old SOHC 8-valve was dropped. Power was 95 hp DIN (70 kW). Italian company Bertone built a variation powered by the BMW M40 engine, with 100 hp (74 kW), called the Bertone Freeclimber II. The Rocky/Feroza was replaced in 1998 by the Terios."

There are cars that you drive to work and to the supermarket
to the hills, through the waters to play...and there are cars
that have become more than that: a faithful companion that is a
part of your life.

mga bosing payo naman, I'm a OFW na nagarap din makabili ng 2nd car although meron na akong owner type jeep back home (my problema pa sa papers) pero gusto kong palitan kasi nga you cannot leave your things sa loob ng owner. that's why I'm planning to buy a feroza kasi ang iniisip ko para magamit ko hindi lang sa pag punta sa bulubundukin na lupa na nabili ko sa bataan at syempre for family use din.....kaya lang sa mga commnets na nabasa ko parang nagdalawang isip na tuloy ako. ang hirap pa naman mag ipon ng pambili. guys, mga 90-130php lang ang ang kaya budget na iipunin ko para sa car. help naman kung ano pa ang maganda hindi hirap sa pyesa kung sakali man nagkaroon ng problema at syempre yung kaya ng budget ko.

maraming salamat po:

i've got a 94 SE feroza and so far i'm enjoying my ride with it! although low speed sya pero pag dating naman sa rekta masarap ng tumakbo.. feroza is a 4wd vehicle although mine is seldomly used,. lagi lang ako nasa 2wd. kahit pa na very steep ang daan sinisisiw lang nitong small but terible na feroza! hehe.. what impressed me with this vehicle is that even on rough and steep road, kahit hindi mag shift sa 4wd kayang-kaya ang hatak, kahit huwag apakan ang gas pedal andar parin! (rough road)
sabi din nila matakaw sa gasolina mga feroza, but mine is 9-10 kpl-city driving.. i'm waiting for my new car, but for my feroza,. i'm gonna keep it!

mr.dennisdko, i saw your video sa youtube,. ganda interrior mo sir! balak ko din paayos yung sakin eh..
