1997 Vauxhall Frontera 5 door estate review from UK and Ireland
"First class!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New battery
Rear nearside electric window fault
That's it!
General comments?
I looked at buying a Toyota surf, Isuzu trooper, and a discovery, before settling on the Vauxhall Frontera, and I'm glad I did, It's a brilliant car and I'm very happy with its on and offroad capability. Its well built and the performance from the 2.5 turbo diesel is good. The Frontera is excellent value for money compared to what you pay for shoddy examples of other makes.
