    guys need info.

    First time ko lng kasi nagkaroon ng 4wd. Actually, ni hindi ko nga alam ang ang performance nito.

    Gusto ko sana malaman kung talagang;
    mabagal ang arangkada
    matapang ang tunog ng makina pgumaarangkada
    matagtag (sumasayaw) di smooth ang takbo unlike sa dati sa isa kong ssakyan (mits. adventure)

    dont know about ferozas but if you have a 4x4, you have to sacrifice on the ride and acceleration since these kind of vehicles are not designed for maximum comfort and acceleration. it doesn't ride as well as a sedan cause it has a ladder chassis on frame and has stiff springs and shocks. about acceleration, most 4x4s don't boast much of it because what it need is peak torque at lowest possible rpm. if you intend to overtake a slow turtle maybe the engine might sound angry because you are forcing it to accelerate faster even if it is not designed to do so. but then, even racing cars sound (very) angry

    hth.

    PS: ingat lang baka magkaroon ka na rin ng 4x4 bug ferozas are one of the cheap but high performance 4x4s, side by side with the samurai and others plus they are easy to modify

    Hi! welcome to tsikot!

    AFAIK, the feroza has a 1.6 liter petrol engine. If your other ride (the adventure) is the 2 liter petrol, the older feroza probably won't be able to out-accelerate it. The adventure also has better sound insulation and softer shocks/springs since it's more of a people hauler, not an off-roade

    However, if the acceleration is truly bog slow, and the engine howl is really bad even at low RPM's, you might want to have the vehicle checked by your mechanic. It is, after all, probably at least 10 years old.

    Regarding the mods you can do to the vehicle, there are alot. Just ask some of the offroaders here, they'd be happy to share advice
