Reviews

Opel Antara quickly gaining speed, actively starts. Almost all the owners of this car note the confident dynamics of overclocking. A bright design is another advantage of Opel Antara. Reviews indicate that this beautiful, powerful and stylish car fits perfectly into the urban environment. Many people note the comfortable, high clearance of the car, but they mention that the low-hanging carter grabs the road while driving along the tracks.

Among the shortcomings can be attributed to a relatively small trunk. In principle, compared to conventional sedans, it is far from small, but from an SUV of this class expect more.

Good noise insulation can also be attributed to the merits of the Opel Antara. Reviews show that at speeds of 90-100 km / h can easily talk on the phone, although the higher the speed, the more noisy the engine works. The minus of the car is liquidity at resale. SUVs, especially those that are expensive, are not very popular on the secondary market, and it is unlikely to be sold again without a large discount.

In the car is installed a good full-time radio with a good, loud and clear sound, which reads MP3. Excellent handling - another advantage of the Opel Antara. Reviews indicate that the car clearly follows the steering wheel, and there is no need to turn it around, circling bumps and holes - just turn slightly. You can also note the stability of the car on the road. The car as a glove keeps the track, without deviating from the set course, it is easy and without rolls goes into turns at high speed. Among the pluses you can still note the fact that the crossover is easily started even at a cold start, when on the street the temperature is lower - 30-35 degrees.

As for the shortcomings of the car, in addition to those listed, the owners indicate a large fuel consumption of the Opel Antara. Reviews indicate that the actual figures are significantly higher than those specified by the manufacturer, however, the figures depend on both the manner of driving and the volume of the engine. On average, the driver can spend up to 15-18 liters of gasoline per 100 km of the city road. However, in terms of oil consumption, it does not differ from the average indicators. Complaints also the maneuverability of Opel Antara. The testimonies indicate that it has a large turning radius, which leads to the fact that in a parking lot or a narrow patch it is necessary to turn it into several tricks. The plastic inside the interior is soft enough and pliable - it can easily be scratched by careless handling. A wide rack limits the view from the front, and a small glass reduces it from the rear.
