Vauxhall Frontera
In Australia they are known as Holden Frontera and the post 1997 model has a reasonable reputation. Nothing special, nothing particularly bad. We only have 3.2 V6 petrol LWB.
What are people's thoughts on buying a Frontera (LWB) in the UK for a trip to Atar and back ? No major hardcore off piste routes planned. UK also has 2.2DTI model. I'm not a big fan of diesel but I get the impression that a diesel would be easier to sell than petrol upon the end of our journey.
We are also considering Isuzu Trooper ( Holden Jackaroo in Australia ) which have a good reputation here but don't appear to be all that common in the UK. I think the Trooper would be harder to sell than the Frontera as the Frontera seems to appeal to the " drop the kids off at school in my never go off road shiny 4wd " brigade. Our vehicle budget is around 8000 GBP.
