A nice hello to all Antara friends I drive my Antara 2,0 Diesel (schlatung ) now a good two years and drove with the car 32500km I had in the time a repair the steering gear was changed. Otherwise the car out of maintenance work did not see the factory town! I am very happy with the Antara. He was shown in the media so negatiev I know now what I should resound from test reports in the press and on TV? I have a friend he wanted The car is now one and a half years old and has already stood eight times in the factory city. From the central locking system to turbochargers to steering. If I ask my friend for test reports today he gets all the colors on his face and just listen to with car testers. You can have luck or even bad luck with everyone, car.Before I forget my diesel consumption is 8.5 l Average. I hope I can drive my Antara a few more years and that it gives me as much pleasure as before.

Opel Antara 2.0 Diesel CDTI Cosmo with auxiliary heating Deficiencies – fuel consumption in urban traffic 15 to 16 liters – fuel consumption highway 12 to 13 liters – flaps of the front axle – pins on the rear axle – load roller clamps according to mood – rear damper too weak – from 120 no force in the suit – grinding of the drive shaft after starting off (or turbocharger) – Bluetooth works according to mood – driving wind noise at speed 120 km/h Driver side and side driver’s side (door) – Navigation DVD too old, not up to date – When fast starting in the stand a delay of 2 to 3 seconds at full throttle – flap seat rear last stage (right side) – Switched between the gears back and forth at approx. 50 km h Now my Antara is back in the factory town now for 14 times the car was towed 8 times By the BAB but according to the dealer everything is in order funny or now the wire harness is changed although no one is there, but Now I drive a rental car. According to the dealer, the repair should take 2 to 3 months. 40 days are already around, does everything cost no money?

Hello! I had a great experience in November with my Antara 2.0 Cosmo. With external chip! (177 HP) First: Great car, even if the consumption is a little too high and the suspension is a little too lax. So: Just before the change on winter ice I found four totally worn tires. Then I immediately went to my Opel dealer. I explained to me that I was on the road with far too little air in the tires! And that after about 12,000 km!!! Only 2.3 bar are far too little!!! But exactly this value is prescribed by Opel on the inside of the driver’s door as a tyre pressure for 3 people without charge. ??? Besides, my Anatara was regularly in the workshop: inspection, re-adjusting the oil Nivueu sensor, replacing torn leather steering wheel, unfounded lighting up some control lamps, … And the Opel workshop people do not leave my car from the yard again with too low tire pressure?!!!? Or do they?! 😉 Auc h the negated meim Opel dealer, of course the car will be checked out! Now I have been waiting for three months for answer. Is apparently tested at the factory. What experiences do you have??? Are your tyres flat or down?

Hello Antara driver, had a worrying driving pleasure today !!! Was on the highway and had about final speed on it, then had to slow down, wanted to leave the highway and had to slow down a little bit in the descent and at once the steering went very hard as if the steering aid was gone. Since the descent S is shaped, I had real problems to keep the vehicle in the lane. There was no excessive turning speed in the game. I have since then, the feeling of the e steering is considerably harder to steer. Do not dare me any more, faster, than 120 km/h to drive. Tomorrow will contact Opel and wait for their answer. Can, that be due to the shawl or knocking noise, we all have heard before in the front area, have, possibly hose loose or is bent off ????? Shouldn’t a hose be replaced because of defects ?? What about it ?? Gruss AGBachmann

Hello Antara driver Are also since month 7. 2008 owner of this vehicle Antara COSMO 2,0 CDTI We have read your reports and defects in this vehicle with interest. Have also similar defects. Heating only goes hot or cold (software error according to FOH) rear flap does not quite work up, wait for 3 months for new dampers seat heater (egg cooker) to be tested. But the most annoying is the rough circuit in the 1st and 2nd gear, only by stirring the gears must be inserted. rope pulls have been greased, no improvement Now it should be checked whether the clutch disc remains glued. Does one of you also have such problems with the circuit? Keep up to date Jochen

Just for the information for all Opel Antara buyers on the topic of delivery Opel Antara 2.0 Diesel with MT. According to Opel, our Opel Antara 2.0 Diesel MT ordered at the beginning of September 06 is manufactured in February 07 and comes about 8 weeks later in April 07 to the delivery. When exactly can neither Opel nor the dealer tell us so far. Really an outstanding performance and with what arrogant tone that is communicated to you, simply incredible. No more saying, the frustration is deep. Please give up answers on “self guilt”, we know now even that one does not buy a car in advance without having seen and driven it. If only a non-binding delivery date can be promised.

I have just read the driving report in the new car picture. Auweia, there will be something to come up with. The tenor is what many have already feared, that the Antara is neither fish nor meat. The diesel, as in the Captiva, should not be an outbreak of spritziness and no savings miracle. I had to read this twice, because I thought at first, which means the petroler. So the performance with automatic transmission should look even worse. Then it makes little use of when the manufacturer praises improvement until series production. I wonder why, in such a situation of a car newspaper, the car is made available at all for a test drive. What it will write, you can count on five fingers before. What the competition can read in the in-house documents provided here in the forum. The interior will be in terms of material and colour. In the light of the VAT increase, Opel does not make it easy for you to wait and not to make a quick decision for a vehicle of the competition. Unfortunately, the smart bicycle carrier doesn’t pull out the Antara anymore. With a cracked greeting Waldi05 P.S. To say something positive: The deep-sea blue doesn’t even look so bad.

Tach people, I think it is also very good that OPEL has announced a new off-road car for 2006, will probably be called ANTARA !!! What I don’t like at all : The car is produced together with the Chevrolet Captiva in Korea at former Daihatsu, since both SUVs are based on the same platform !!! If you get an OPEL, then probably also because you believe in “German Wertarbeit”, as well as on the securing of German work plans etc. !!! e, an OPEL should come from Germany, whereby the Japanese and Korean car manufacturers are also not incapacitated !!! But the image of Chevrolet and Daihatsu is not exactly good !!! If the Antara is produced in “Billiglohnländer” then at least the price should be lower, so in the area of the Hyundai Santa Fe or Kia Sorento !!! MfG Frisch-Thinner

Hello together ! I studied my service plan for the frontera today and I notice something there. 1. Little driver, i.e. Service Group A 2. Engine is the 2.2 DTI and is excluded at the oil change interval. so this engine with the vehicle is not listed in the combination. Hmm, yes what should now the ? Under the “severe conditions”, which do not apply to me, because KM < and car use is easy for the Monterey but otherwise not listed... so never again OEL change ! Super Opel, technology the enthusiast! We understood *g* tomi

Hello together, I’m just looking for a new business car, I’m a frequent driver and family father. After an E-Class, which I loved, I’ve looked around and find the Antara interesting (among many other things), just a little ‘small’.For that would be cheaper. Would be the Touareg, M-Class fan, but by a share of the rate and a CO2-bonnus/Malus regulation could be a proper payment due. Would it pack quite full (2.0Diesel, Auomatik, C osmo, etc), at the price. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to test it yet, that’s still up to it. What am I asking myself: How wide is the rear seat, or the place ‘on elbow height’, or have 3 adults or 3 child seats or 2 child seats and 1 adult place? How loud is it? Can one still make reasonable phone calls at 160 on the highway? What about the long-distance suitability? Tired distances of about 400 or more km easy, or is it halfway through the seat position relaxing?
