In spite of the bad press the Frontera gets I purchased a pre-registered standard Frontera 2.2i Sport from a Vauxhall Dealer at a bargain price of £11995 with 5 miles on the clock in March 2001. No ABS or air-con but dead locks, central locking, immobilser, alarm come as standard with rear sunroof.

Fantastic on the fly 4x4 means you can change from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive at the push of a button at up to 60mph. Ideal for treacherous conditions or just playing on the beach. Because it has switchable 4 wheel drive it is also fairly economical when compared to the other permanent 4x4 on the road. On motorways I drive at between 70-80mph and get an average of between 26-29mpg. Around town it averages 22-24mpg.

As I purchased the car to do company mileage I converted it to lpg and hung the tank under the boot floor. No problems there either. Drives just as well on gas as it does on petrol.

It is now 2.5 years on and with over 56000 miles on the clock I have only had to service it and only just replaced the front brake pads. The tyres still have about 4mm tread and not a problem with it.

My wife like this vehicle as it has very good road visibility especially on motorways where you can see in front of the cars ahead of you. The large side mirros give excellent visibility behind.

Interior space in terms of width is very good. Large doors for the 3 door Sport gives excellent access to the rear seats. The rear seats are split and can be folded down and the whole rear seat unit swings up to give massive storage space similar to a mini estate van. Normally the boot is adequate to small.

Excellent value for money for a 4 wheel drive.

Its not as bad as the press make out
Review of Vauxhall Frontera Sport 2.2i by groomoid

Advantages: Cheap,good load carrier, good looking, good for towing
Disadvantages: Price deterioration, bad press, Can be thirsty

This vehicle in my opinion is very much criticised by the motoring press and to be honest I have to disagree. Granted I havent tried others but I have owned one of these now for 18 months and would recomend one to anyone. The model I have is 1996 lwb - which is just after the facelift. It does everything I want it to do and more. It is a great load carrier, excellent for towing, easy to maintain, cheap to service, and dare I say attractive to look ...
...4x4 in its price range. Okay if you've got £25 - £30,000 to spend then go buy a Shogun or Landcruiser. I get about 25 mpg which isnt that bad for a 2 tonne vehicle which I usually drive at about 80mph on the open road. Top speed is about 105mph (downhill with a tail wind). It has covered 93,000 miles from new and as the 2nd owner I havent had any major problems with it. I dont use it off road that often but when I have it has been capable. I use ... Read review

Review of Vauxhall Frontera Sport 2.2i by KRSD

Advantages: Change to 4 wheel drive on the fly, elevated driving, easy to handle
Disadvantages: Petrol consumption, lack of speed in the higher gears

I bought my Frontera for just under £ 6000 from a local dealer. We were looking for a 4x4 that handled like a car but also had 4 wheel drive capability as we live in a somewaht hilly area and were looking for the convenience of the off road driving but the stability of 4 wheel drive for bad weather conditions. I find that the Frontera handles very well and the ability to change to 4 wheel drive on the fly is a definate bonus. If you are looking ...
...Between 0- 50 it is quite nippy but after that it is a gradual speed increas. The best I have had out of it is just under a 100 mph. I generally find that around 70 - 80 is fine. Being elevated is a most definite plus as is the fact that it is virtually the same size as most medium sized cars. The only down side that I have is that parking can be quite tricky ... Read review

Review of Vauxhall Frontera Sport 2.2i by jennywren246

Advantages: , good for towing,
Disadvantages: parts expensive,

this is my second frontera.the first was 1997 model which had lots of leg room and I was quite happy with it Then in 2001 I upgraded to a 1999 model .... BIG MISTAKE! this one has two small oval windows at the sides, but none of them open. I suppose thats a plus when you've got small children in it. the sun roof is at the back which is daft. because I always forget to close it,the front seats have to be adjusted every time you get in. there's less ...
...5ft tall so its nice being up high. I alway feel safe driving it .cos its built like a tank.but sometimes it pulls to the left when going round rounderbouts Ive got an alarm under the bonnet that keeps going off, the AA man thought it was because I needed a new battery..so I went and bought one, but it still keeps going off..the garage man said it was because I didnt drive enough miles... and the head gasket went at xmas.its cost a £900 in repairs ...

Review of Vauxhall Frontera Sport 2.2i by alancornet

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: see report

a very old spec on this car it has been around for years now with no improvements. it may have been ok 6 years ago but the shape is aged and times have moved on. there are better 4x4's on the market. the engine is agood one but still the interior is shabby and creaky. go for a ford or a nissan these are much better and are roughly the same price. these cars were good 5 years ago get another one now as they are crap. once again get anoter car there ...
