Considering this as my next car . Wondering if anyone else uses this as their tow car and if so would they recommend it. Uses a 2.2l engine with a towing limit of 2000kg.  I would appreciate any comments from other owners.

The Antara was never a true Vauxhall anyway. It was basically a rebadged Chevrolet Captiva manufactured in Korea.

True Vauxhalls were never that bad.

It now remains to be seen how good, bad or indifferent Vauxhall cars will be now that they're part of PSA group .... a rebadged Citroen/Peugeot ... what could possibly go wrong 😄

The Crossland X, the Grandland X and the new Corsa are already on the basis of PSA designs.

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.
