1999 Vauxhall Frontera Reviews

Alarm system power sounder. This can be removed safely. This is the only hassle. It is very annoying to be woken by a faulty alarm. Normally a low battery in the power sounder.

Air conditioning needs re-gassing.

Comfortable and spacious, with adequate power.

Good fuel consumption. On a run I get 41 miles per gallon.

Worth fitting good quality shock absorbers such as Explorer or Pro-comp.

This is excellent value for money. Reliable, comfortable, spacious, cruises well, quiet. Easy to work on.

Would thoroughly recommend this to any one. It's blindingly good value.

Steering linkage snapped, rectified Free Of Charge by Vauxhall, after a call to customer services, as it was a product recall issue.

Wonderful everyday car, with superb off road handling.

I have a problem with the cars performance I was driving along and suddenly the car started to jump and become slugish then died on me would then start, but no power once I tried to accelerate some people say it's an air flow problem, but still haven't fixed it idles well, but no power once I try to pull away.

Nothing yet.

What a car.

I thought I would NEVER buy one of these cars after watching numerous pro-grammes on tv slating it.

But THEY are so wrong.

This has to be the BEST 4x4 I have ever driven and owned, and I have had them all.

The space it has is incredible and the feel of the car is so sturdy that you feel as if this car is a real four wheel machine, unlike my last 4x4 which can only be described as a (wee pretendy jeep).

Do yourself a favor. BUY ONE.

Upholstery is basic compered to the RS models.

Tracking has pulled out of alignment.

Front washer tubes are prone to clogging.

Transmission for a 2.0 petrol engine is slightly more sluggish than one may expect.

Gear shift console creaks under load in low gears.

It's a bit thirsty! 25 combined mpg.

The Transglobe Sport S is I feel a great looking 4x4 for the money with loads of power for those who need a workhorse and a rugged aggressive looking ride about town.

The interior could be better and the refinements in the toy department are lacking compared to the RS models.

However, I love my Frontera and if you're thinking of buying one and you want a lot of 4x4 for your money, then take a look.

Transglobe model comes with the 'moon roof' and detachable windows all round (Semi convertible).

The alarm back up siren failed and was replaced under warranty.

3.2 V6 engine delivers amazing power, this car is a dream to own and drive.
