1999 Vauxhall Frontera Sport S Transglobe 3d SWB review from UK and Ireland
"Looks, Power and Average Upholstery!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
General comments?
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).
