vaux frontera ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

DaveS:
We have had three, 98 2.0 i sport, 2000 2.2 dti sport, now have a 2.2 dti 5 door Olympus. These were my wife's company cars, but we have now bought the Olympus off the lease co. (very good deal)!

All have been dealer serviced and apart from the odd minor glitch, reliable.

We have done some gentle off roading in them, no problems.

Our main use is for towing our caravan for which they are great.
We now have a Bailey 18' van which the diesel tows perfectly

Last year towing in France (65-70mph) with aircon on it did about 28mpg.

Our  diesel does not use oil rarely needing a top up. You have to check it when hot after waiting 5 minutes.

We tried the Freelander(old model) but preferred the Frontera. More legroom and better driving position plus more reliable ?

We are going to try the new Freelander later.

Ours is one of the last built, Olympus only came in black or silver pearlescent, has aircon, heated seats and half leather trim-its a nice motor.

i've also had the little 2.0i sport swb .....i drove it from my home in devn to Aston Cantlowe just south of brum had a days playing then another days laning before driving back home ...without missing a single beat

the 2.0's get very hot when in 4wd....and the C20NE engine is the better of the swb's.....for the lwb's get the 2.8tdi or lookout for a 2.8tdi swb
