1994 Vauxhall Frontera 2.4i (5-door) review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust assembly replaced 4 times; underside welded panels knocked loose after moderate off-road driving; radio display panel replacement; left-hand drift which is very difficult to correct.
General comments?
I guess one of the problems of buying earlier models is that it's used as a test-bed for later models. It's an enjoyable car but dealer problems with poor service let it down as well as its lack of robustness when it comes to off-road driving. DON'T buy the Vauxhall extended warranty - it's amazing what's not covered. Also, spare parts are extortionate.
