1994 Vauxhall Frontera Lwb 5 door review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sticking courtesy light switch that caused an intermittent alarm problem.
No other problems encountered.
General comments?
Great fun car, that's reasonably priced for a 4x4 and fairly cheap to run. Clarkson has got it all wrong (again) and has totally missed the point about this vehicle. It's a good spacious practical bus, that can take the knocks and was never meant to handle like a Ferrari!
Having driven off road under demanding conditions (in a disused quarry under 3 inches of snow), I can vouch for the car's capabilities off road.
This car takes the knocks O.K.
