Not sure of the differences between the Vauxhall and Holden, but I own the 1995 Holden Frontera 2L 4cl and it is awesome! Sure, I had to remove the plastic roof and everything in the back end to get any power out of it, but it just keeps going. Takes beating after beating, both offroad and on. Handles awesome and isn't TOO bad on fuel.
Talks about it as a car, a 4x4, mentions the engines, the ride, the equipment, the space. A proper road test, informative and entertaining. He should go far this chap (with a haircut)
My dad had one of these back in the 1990s.. somebody tryed to shoot him outside a pub he sped away as they gave chase he hit a bridge flipped the car landed on its wheels and he sped off finding two bullets imbedded in the side door later.. true story.
I worked at a Holden dealer when the first generation were around and sold as a Holden Frontera with a 2.0lt petrol engine from a G.M. J series car. We used to call them Frontbummers.
My mom wants a 1st Gen Honda Passport (Same car as the 5 door Frontera) and a 1986-1993 regular cab Mazda B-Series. That's the perfect Japanese pickup/SUV combination, and I really like them too.
Just bought a 1996 sport 2.5 tds in showroom condition for 2 weeks salary. P. windows, a/c, easy to fix and real 4wd. These things will shoot up in value when people figure out these offroad better than their 2018 Rangy crap.
Im reading the comments and i see all the land rover and range rover lovers are very angry whenever they read a story about a frontera being a good, reliable car. Last winter we saved a land rover from certain death as it had slid into a ditch so we towed it out with the fronty. They didnt see we had a sticker on the side that said "one life, dont waste it fixing land rovers"
If you can get your hands on a 2.8l Diesel frontera you are very lucky. The engine is one of the most economic and relyable there is. It was made for tractors. A frend smashed the oil pan and drained the oil accedentaly. His 2.8 diesel ran 2 more years with no oil.
learning manual in the mountains with a blue Holden Frontera s, while I may be capable of driving manual now, my biceps have grown so much I can no longer reach the handbrake, that's alright though I can't leave the car without it being in gear anyeay
In the United States they sold those as Isuzu amigo and the other one was an Isuzu Rodeo and Honda sold it as the Passport. They were okay you can't give one away now most of them have been recycled into beer cans
80% of 4x4 drivers don't take there cars off road simply because someone in the uk owns every bit of land, it would be hard to find somewhere that you could take them off road without trespassing.
I figured there'd be a model sharing twist, just like how Rover used to share models with Honda in the UK. That was obviously before Honda started building behicles like the CR-V, and other soft-roaders
Phil Williams I have a j reg sport owned from new. No rust, never broken down and not a bad car. OK, hasn't the same off road capabilities as my Nissan Patrol but it's apples and pears. People criticise the Frontera but likely never owned one!
They did sold a version of the LWB Rodeo in USDM, the Passport, also Acura sold a version of the LWB Trooper as the SLX (in exchange Isuzu sold a version of the 1st generation Honda Odyssey minivan / MPV as the Oasis).
Clarkson, you don't go off road in 4WD. You keep it in 2WD until you get stuck. Then you put in 4WD to get unstuck. You'll be stuck good and proper by doing it the way he did it.
@@jasperj-d7106 Can't be that many times if you think going into 4WD as soon as your tires leave pavement is a good idea. I spent 27 years in search and rescue and learned the hard way not to do things like that.
Sort of like the Suzuki SJ410/Samurai? The SJ410 always seemed like it thought it was in the same league as the likes of the Land Rover Defender and Jeep Wrangler, and it's not, at all. The Vauxhall at least seems to know it's place, it knows it's just a quirky little off roader, Vauxhall knew what they were making
I remember the last word he said in his Vauxhall Frontera with the peniswheels on Top Gear was "I HATE WORKING ON TOP GEAR" after that i never saw Jeremy in Top Gear again.
@Ellis Williams lol, he is not fired because of that. About that Argentina number plate dispute is still disputable, and to fire jeremy clarkson, the One who make BBC goes abroad even to my country, Indonesia, that would be stupidity.
And what they did was indeed stupidty. There's none among BBC programm back then that would make BBC known throughout the world. Beside david attenborough obviously.
@Moto Ro I don't know, but the first BBC channel that landed on Indonesian Television Channels was BBC2, and the most watched was Top Gear, aside from David Attenbrough ofc.
I thought that was a (commercial truck engine specialist) Cummins-built medium duty (US category 5-6) diesel truck engine. I have heard worse in those...
I like the old diesel engines before DPF filters and EGR valves were fitted. Emissions aside, they seemed a lot tougher and more reliable. I bought a ten year old Peugeot 106 XND for a thousand quid. Slow and noisy but I loved the agricultural nature of it, and enjoyed trouble free motoring in it for two years.
I have a 1996 holden frontera sport which is exactly the same, exept the rear suspension IS coil. It has 330,000 k's on the clock, has a 2ltr engine and gets 10.5 ltrs per 100 k's. It weighs 1.7 tonnes, handles like a sports car, well for a 4x4 anyway. It's very capable off road and I don't mean just dirt roads. Steep rocky hills are no problem but due to the lack of power isn't very good in sand. It may not be quick or fast but it's a 4x4, not a race car. I have owned toyota landcruisers and nissan patrols and my little frontera compares very favorably, to the point where I have owned it for 13yr and it was10yrs old when I bought it. I have driven it from one side of australia and back with out any problems and it's still going strong. I love my little "tera"
I wish electric windows, electric door mirrors, electric moving seats, electric moving steering columns, electric moving sunroofs, electric moving everything were an optional extra on all cars, because all they do is break and cost a bomb to fix. Give me a handle and i'll do it myself for years with no problems.
Joshua Thiel I’ve got a 16 plate vw caddy with poverty spec. I get the piss taken out of me all the time about manual windows and bog standardness . I’ve had a stage 3 chip just done and my humble 1.6 turbo diesel now has 139BHP and over 234 lb of torque.
This was the last car which was fitted with Opel CIH-engine (the 2.4 petrol version, C24NE), an engine family which was manufactured between 1965 - 1998. Over 30 years it was the main big segment engine in Opels and later, on Vauxhall lineup. On 1998, Frontera got into second generation and the ancient CIH-engine was dropped and replaced with 2.2 liter Ecotec-engine.
The 2.2 Ecotec engine is shared by: -the Opel/Vauxhall Astra -the Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220 -the Opel/Vauxhall Zafira and Subaru Traviq and other GM branded cars like the Chevrolet HHR.
Leaf springs are a big flaw if you drive it mainly on the roads, but as someone who lives in a forest and carries a lot of heavy stuff in the boot, I can say that Leaf springs are a good choice for Off Road Car, except for things like rock crawling, because then you need a lot of flexibility so that you get as much grip as possible and with leaf springs you don't get that. For Mudd, Sands or just carrying heavy stuff, they are a better option than coil overs, because they are stupidly simple- a slab of steel that holds the wheel in one place. It's really hard to break Leafsprings offroad while Coil Overs are much more delicate.
A mate of mine took a diesel one in PX against a car he was selling 8 years ago, with the idea of using it as a cheap green laning tool. He never got round to it, and it sat there ever since, completely uncovered and untouched through 8 winters, and was slowly sinking into the grass. His girlfriend finally had enough of the eyesore a couple of months back, and persuaded him to get rid. Scrap man offered him £100 to collect as it was, but we'd need to get it out on to the road. We put a charged battery on it, and it started after about 30 seconds of cranking, and drove itself out of the hole it was in, and on to the scrappy's recovery truck. Didn't sound much worse than the new one in the clip either, but it smoked a LOT more lol :-)
GM-US had their own S10 Blazer / S15 Jimmy here in that same size category... That led Isuzu to sell on their own the SWB Amigo and LWB Rodeo / Honda Passport on their own.
how is that possible Clarkson looked 50 even 30 years ago
Go to Specsavers, it doesn't even look like his bollocks have dropped in this video.
Lol
he couldn't drive 30 years ago either- th-cam.com/video/ANFBU-Db4W4/w-d-xo.html gets 4x4 stuck, what a wally!
It's a combination of the fact that he is British, he is sporting a permed mullet, and he loves his durries.
@@pablojones5613 Clarkson's curly hair is due to having a black ancestor and what are "durries"?
As the slogan says, Vauxhall - British Brand since 1903. (owned by foreigners since 1925.)
2020 - yep, they're still going with that shit. It's well known Vauxhall was the GM (American) of the UK for MANY years!
Yeah that slogan irritates me too, it's probably to attract the elderly Brexit crowd.

British steel that explains the rust on Vauxhalls /Opel
+mrraspoetin u mean vauxhalls, opels are german
+Rokas Kairys They are the same cars....
+mrraspoetin Vauxhall dont rust really the very old ones maybe but all old cars do these are pretty much rust proof
@x0xDarthWyylokx0x
They are the same designs, but not the same cars (Opels are made by Germans in Germany with German steel)
All steel rusts, no matter where it comes from. It's the design and build quality of the car that dictates how quickly it does.

They are the same car but they arent any good after 120,000 miles they are knackered
@@charlesmacgilchrist3648The rangerovers at this time used to get 9 MPG and sometimes even below that
It was sold as an Isuzu here in the states . Isuzu is not a favored brand here .
Now I miss my 1990 Amigo, ran it ragged through the south Florida swamps and it never let me down.
"tasteful upholstery"
Those wheel looks so much better on a 4x4 than the nasty 22" rims and low profile tyres they put on them today.
"The only thing Japanese is the dash and 4WD system." So those are the only parts that won't break is what you're telling us...?

We had a frontera at the croft. Was great for crappy jobs and kept us going for years.
Replaced it with a defender and welder.

I actually think the 5 door Frontera looks better than the Sport.
25mpg isn’t bad my 2008 Volvo XC90 gets 14
My three ton ambulance gets 37mpg. Stick that in your sports exhaust Mr kawasaki!
That's Volvo for you. My "eco" 1.6 S40 from 2009 drinks about 20mpg!
My cousins had something on this chassis, a 1998 Honda Passport. Proved reliable up to 182k, but it was rickety.
7:32 that’s music for my hears
I haven't seen one of these in years. i.e. They has some kind of terminal reliability problem. Plenty of old Toyotas knocking around
Every year I see fewer and fewer....my old diesel keeps passing MOTs and just passed 320k so I just keep my fingers crossed and keep driving it.
I actually like how it looks

if you see jips in that years and now they are so changed :)
Clarkson went back with that car filmed before he was sacked from top gear for assault on the top gear producer
I lost focus when Clarkson skipped effortlessly into the back seat, sprang up through the roof and leapt down to the ground. With a twist.
And that's how SUV was born. People didn't take their off roads, off road.
I have frontera sport 2.0 benzin. , its a very good cat , off road is best but i need a good tires ... Nice car
His voice was much smoother then. Now it just sounds old
Smoking will do that for you.
He definitely would be displeased with the Jeep Wrangler's "boot". There's barely room for a simple PB&J sandwich, and only if it is stood on edge.
Old Top Gear - posted 11 years ago 😟
Look at that jumper he's wearing wtf 😂
I miss the 90's😂
Could any1 suggest where could I order a coat similar to the one Jeremy is wearing here?
