1994 Vauxhall Frontera sport review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant, cheap, tough, reliable, but slow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump blew about 2 miles after I bought the car.
That's it!!
General comments?
Apart from the blown water pump which cost a whole £11 to fix this car has been bullet proof. Acceleration is not one of its strong points, but it will happily cruise at 85-90mph all day long.
Comfort is pretty good, petrol consumption averages 30 mpg and shes solidly built although there are few squeaks here and there, but then, she is 12 years old!! and, for a cheap car makes a SUPERB off-roader despite what others may say.. Highlights for me have to be towing 2 land-rover 90's out of some serious mud on a pay and play day - land-rovers which earlier in the day scorned my poor little fronty - HA!
