1995 Vauxhall Frontera longwheel base review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent 4x4, cheap to run and maintain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hardly anything!
3 Illuminated switches - bulbs failed.
Creaky center console - in cold weather.
Wheel bearing adjustment @ 80,000 miles!
General comments?
Isuzu engine in 2.8 is very reliable, reasonably refined & bags of power.
Decent rear suspension - It tows very well, a lot better than your standard LR discovery!!
Good economy - never had less than 27mpg even when towing caravan. Normally get 30mpg from it.
Comfortable & easy to drive.
Poor rear vision when reversing - rear pillars & spare wheel create blind spots!
