what do you think about Vauxhall frontera
muddymart:
I'm Now a :) landrover owner, i did have a 2.4 lwb petrol frontera, no problems at all, but i'd keep away from the older 2.3 diesel, get a 2.2 dti or one fitted with the 2.8 turbo diesel, good luck ...

SSteve:
I've had a few Fronties,
2.2 LWB, 2.4i LWB & 2.0i SWB in Petrol and now on the 2.8TDi SWB. The only time I've been stuck in one was when I dropped the back left wheel into a ditch..
I've had them through Thick Mud, 2.3ft deep rivers (None had a snorkel) and 1ft of snow and even though I was on Road Tyres and "Standard", they don't give up!
BK, The Trooper in disguise is the Monteray.. Very good off-road!
I've been a Passenger in a 90, 110 and a couple of Zukis and I haven't found one as comfy as the Fronty .. (Have yet to go out in a RR or Disco though so I won't form total judgement), very little roll even at 40+ Sideways round a corner and as Johnny states, "Very Underrated" ... it even says that in a couple of buyers guides!
I'd recommend getting one, even if after a few weeks you decide it's not for you, at least then you can say You know the Fronty as well

My missus has a frontera 2.8 n reg. 110k wanders all over the road mroe so than my 1989 110. Steering box adjusted to the max and within MOT pass range but I think it drives terrible. Its slow (well, compared to a 200tdi disco it is). Never had any problems with it, does over 30mpg and iwe got 28mpg towing a 1tonne caravan to cornwall.
To be honest, I hate the thing! Having said that I cant tell you why u shouldnt get one! She had a 2.4 petrol before that. That was also bomb proof but bloody thirsty!
I took the 2.8 green laning onc when my land rover was off the road and was quite impressed.
