2000 Vauxhall Frontera DTi LTD review from UK and Ireland
"Very good car and is more economical than might be expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag light came on permanently, diagnosed as a high reading in drivers seat belt tensioner.
General comments?
I was a bit concerned about fuel economy when I bought it, but I have discovered that I get an average of 34mpg either around town or on a run (better than my 406.
Acceleration is quite good, especially when the turbo kicks in at around 1800 revs.
Not as noisy as I expected, in fact it is quite quiet, even at 70 on the motorway.
Cabin and ride very comfortable.
