Daihatsu Fourtrak (1984 - 2002) 2.8 TDS Independent 3d (1994/M) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

hopefully not much!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

so far they all like it

Would you buy this car again and why?

I certainly would, no other 4x4 has the same appeal.

What are you likely to buy next?

nothing as yet, but in terms of replacing the fourtrak, I would buy either another fourtrak, or a defender, but a Fourtrak first choice.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£535

When did you buy the car?

April 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

bought Fourtrak from a chap on Ebay, why? because it was easy to find, bid and was good for distance buying, of course only rik was I couldnt test drive before winning...!

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a reliable 4x4, for daily use and off roading!

What was the dealer like?

sounds as a pound, nice guy!

What's it like to drive?

big, bouncy, tractor like, LOVE IT! its basic and trustworthy.

What's it like to park?

dead easy, look out of the window and there are the back wheels!

Have you had any problems with the car?

not had long enough, but so far no. Its old, a bit clunky and messy, but its a workhorse, and everything works as it should. Rust isnt too bad, and I have treated most of it, engine good etc, for the price, its very good indeed.

What's most practical about your car?

not much really, I have the SWB version, so as far as boot space goes, even with the seats down its got less capacity than my Mazda mx6 BUT it is tall, so large bulky items are easy.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

4x4 of course!
