    Used to be famously bad as a car and as an off-roader, have they improved at all?

    Thoughts...
    Not at any price, not even to use as a hen house. If you need it for the space, get a mondeo estate or similar, if you just really want an SUV get a Hyundai Santa Fe.

    I don't mean to promote this crowd Mods, but I have bought a number of cars off them and have always had a positive experience. It is a case of a customer being treated well and going back.

    When new the Frontera was only just beaten to the crown of worst SUV on the market by the Land Rover Freelander Series 1. Complete and utter rubbish from the off. Unlike wine I cannot really image a 6 year old Frontera improving with age.

    A better prospect than the Frontera but the price is a bit high considering the age and mileage.

    This looks better value:
