1998 Vauxhall Frontera RS Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic on / off roader"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management system failed.
Faulty alarm system. (went of weather it was activated or not).
General comments?
Bad reputation of early models does not do this car justice.
Extremely capable off roader.
Plenty of power and torque.
Dated and bland interior with poor support from seat sides.
Exellent luggage area with plenty of ancher points and cubby holes.
A rugged looking machine, for which my only area of concern seems to be the electrics.
