Posted on 12/03/2020 11:55 by LutzThe Antara was never a true Vauxhall anyway. It was basically a rebadged Chevrolet Captiva manufactured in Korea.
True Vauxhalls were never that bad.

Ive now had a manual 64 plate Antara (165 bhp)for three years now and it’s now done 85k miles. It’s never put a foot wrong. It tows our Elddis Odyssey like it’s not there whilst returning 27-33 mpg depending on conditions.
solo around town it averages 37 but on a run 45. But on a solo run from Liverpool to Ipswich once I got 49.9.
I have always had Vauxhall’s and would probably go for a Grandland X but have to fork out for the rare 2.0 version.
For us this was the most cost effective way to get into the SUV market. We wanted a Ford Kuga but to get the same year would have had to spend another £5000 and it would have gone round the clock. It seems when sellers say low mileage now it means 100,000 ,average is 200,000 and high is 3-400,000.
The Antara was 3 years old ,50k and £8k to buy.
