| 2445.1 | yes but how cheap is it?? | WELCLU::STANDER | RON STANDER | Fri Aug 25 1995 09:49 | 10 |
| Hi
forgot the most important part - the cost.
Give or take few quid � 15, 000.00
That should put the screws on Vauxhall at last.
The build quality on the suzuki is far better than the Frontera

What a poor performing engine.
A 24 valve 2 litre V6 putting out 136 Bhp and the max torque of 125
lb/ft right up at 4000 rpm! Very shabby.
Still, it probably doesn't matter on a 'lifestyle' car.

| 2445.3 | V6 = more poseability?? | WELCLU::STANDER | RON STANDER | Fri Aug 25 1995 13:43 | 9 |
| Hi Mark, yes I agree a bit naff for 2 litre but it really has I bet
been brought out to capture more sales and is nothing to do with sheer
performance.
How many Vitaras do you see posing vs vitaras off the
road. And ther's one car that has pose factor its a Vitara what with
all those ultra wide wheel arches and whopping great tyres you see
cruising around town.

...at 22.? mpg you won't get much posing or cruising done for your
money !
the price may be comaprable to a Frontera Sport, but interior room,
Off-Road and On-road performance and economy isn't.

| 2445.5 | I've Ordered a bright red one! | CHEFS::RAYP | | Fri Aug 25 1995 15:15 | 16 |
| I've just ordered one on the scheme. Quote price �4,234.
The performance, ride, handling, looks etc... on the one
I test drove were all better than my current motor. Though as
that's a rust ridden C-reg Montego with baldish tyres and worn
shock absorbers it's not surprising. The MPG figures probably won't
be a lot worse either.
I thought the bright red one would look nice especially once the tyres
have been painted with that black stuff that makes them look shiny :-)

| 2445.6 | V6 Suzuki = Frontera Estate ?? | BAHTAT::CARTER_A | UK P6000 Curator | Wed Sep 06 1995 14:14 | 5 |
| I looked into the Suzuki's, but for the quote price you could get a
Frontera off the PCL. I believe you get more for your money with the
Frontera.
