1992 Vauxhall Frontera review from UK and Ireland
"Does exactly what it says on the tin!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking heater matrix £300.00.
Worn out glow plugs £40.00.
Snapped speedo cable £10.00.
Leaking fuel filler pipe £120.00.
Small leak on fuel pump, have not had it done yet as Vauxhall dealer says it will last till MOT day in November!
General comments?
With full new road tyres she handles well and is very chuckable around corners.
We don't hang around, and regularly overtake people doing 50-60 mph.
Very comfy for long trips, and is a cavernous hole for swallowing huge loads.
Going to start towing a caravan soon.
Yes she's noisy and a bit rough around the edges, but doing very well for 17 years old.
Always starts, and has not broken down yet. Even with the faults mentioned above, we still drove to the garage!
She is pretty good off road, even with the road tyres on her! The low transfer box makes all the difference!
With my driving style, we do only manage 27mpg on average, but then I like to enjoy my trips out!
