1993 Vauxhall Frontera Estate 5 door review from UK and Ireland
"Great in the country, not for the town"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil cooler pipe burst, fixed under warranty at about 30,000 miles.
Rubber suspension bushes replaced at 50,000 miles.
Alternator belt needs regular tightening.
Steering wanders to the left.
Heater matrix now leaking at 90,000 miles.
General comments?
Tough rural transport which would be awkward in town. The turning circle is huge but off road ability is excellent.
Economy is good for its size but this is no racing car.
The interior is comfortable and suffers children and dogs well.
A great car for country dwellers but in town it would be difficult to see its good points.
Our's suffered a hard rear-end shunt which wrote off the offending Rover, the Frontera was only lightly damaged.
