Vauxhall Sintra review covering 1997 - 1999

Tuesday 8 November 2005

"Shame on you, Vauxhall. With the Sintra MPV, you have produced Britain’s worst car, according to its owners. And to prove that it was no fluke, you have also built the second worst, the Frontera. It’s a sad tale of over-priced, overbearing dealers and atrocious build quality – every single area of its assembly receives the heaviest possible criticism. And it’s about as reliable as an alcoholic, even if it doesn’t drink like one." It’s difficult to come back from criticism like that from Top Gear’s JD Power review, and in defence of the Sintra it’s best to point out that Vauxhall responded promptly. Not by improving what was already there, but by consigning it to the history books and launching the excellent seven-seater Zafira.
