After reading much about the MPG of Antaras, I have to say, I'm not too worried (Mine should be here mid June, manual SE nav)<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Here's why-
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Currently we have a 2005 Renault Megane 1.4 petrol. It's small, the interior & boot are tiny. It's fraught with electronic issues, the inner door pockets fill with water, the boot lid drips water on you when you open it, it decides whether it will tick over or not, the headlight bulbs are almost impossible to change, it has no go in it whatsoever- in fact, it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding!! Double everything I've just wrote for the things that don't spring immediately to mind too, THEN.......... add to that, it does 38MPG with a VERY light right foot & on a good day!!!!!!!!
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">So, if I can get 30-odd MPG with all the luxury & benefits that come with it, I'll be well happy!!

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Even if you take a look at Ford's ecoboost technology, to me it's anything but impressive!
