SummarySteer clear. An off-roading dinosaur that has long since been outclassed by the new generation of road-biased 'sports utiltity vehicles.' Good in the mud but throughly unpleasant on tarmac. |
Review If you want a tough, durable tow car for ocassional muddy field use then the Frontera is still worth considering. But not for anything else. Cheap build quality, an extremely poor ride, imprecise handling and noisy cruising all come as standard. Compared to a Freelander or Honda CR-V the Frontera is embarassingly off-the-pace. Base 2.2 petrol engine is slow, the 3.2 V6 option provides performance - at the cost of monstrous thirst. Diesel engine gives reasonable economy but suffers from excessive noise and feels barely up to the task. Poor standard equipment and less-than-rigid residuals conclude the case for the prosecution. Among all the Frontera's rivals you won't find a worse car.
