| Frontera |
 Produced in the 1991 - 2004, it has accomplished two generations. Opel Frontera is another car that was developed thanks to the German-Japanese cooperation. That time, the German engineers decided to use expertise of an experienced producer of off-road cars, and together with the Isuzu company they created a vehicle that has gained great popularity on the European market. Despite the fact that the Frontera looks like a proper off-road car, it is hard to include her in any class. Although the 4x4 drive with reducer allows us to overcome several obstacles on the roadless tracks, she is not a typical roadster. Since the beginning of the production of this car, we were able to purchase it in two versions of the body. 5-door estate car (station wagon) with a long wheelbase and three-door sports one with a shorter chassis. These were based entirely on the Japanese equivalents (Isuzu Amigo and Rodeo). The chassis and the chassis system has been adapted from these two models as well. In 1998, after the introduction of the second generation, together with a new range of engines the look of the car changed. Inside, especially the 5-door version, seats were comfortable, and provided a lot of space. At the beginning, the interior of Frontera did not delight. Square shape, a lot of plastic and the archaic control panel rather did not leave a good impression. All of this was corrected in the second generation. The car has become more pleasant to the eye. Initially, we could obtain Frontera with the gas unit of 2.0/115 km (the 3-door variant), and 2.4/125 km (5-door one), and diesel 2.3 TD/100 km (5-door). In 1995 the engine was replaced by 2.4 16-valved 2.2 engine, and the 2.3 TD - 2.8-liter by 113-horsepower one of Isuzu. The last one gave way to 115-horsepower diesel 2.5 TD VM a year later. The most common engine are 2.0 ones (decent acceleration and a high level of combustion). In addition to the mentioned fun in the fields, Frontera provides comfortable ride on the asphalt roads. Although the hard suspension may render longer rides on the Polish roads unpleasant, yet it should not be a great problem. The 4x4 drive will be also appreciated by the drivers in the city. This model is very often used to tow heavy trailers (up to 2 tonnes). Unfortunately, the greatest disadvantage of this model are high maintenance costs. The car is big, therefore she consumes a lot of fuel (averagely about 13 l/100km). In addition, with a relatively high level of failure we would not find low-cost alternatives to original parts. So what made that this model had been so eagerly purchased by the drivers? As you can see she does not differ a lot from the other vehicles of this class. But this is just a good car, which was enough to gain great popularity on the market. Source: |
