Hi folks, just dropped in from Chesterfield in the East Mids. No really there is a region called the East Midlands.
Company has seen fit to bestow upon me a 2013 SE NAV manual which is fine by me. They wouldn't give me a Hilux.
It's handy being an SUV as I have a dog and go shooting up in Scotland, nice enough to drive, roomy (or what?) but coming from years of Toyotas, I am not sure I feel the same about the build etc. The DLR lights packed up in the first week. Is this common, I see a lot of new Antaras running with no lights at the front. Mine definitely had them when it arrived.
I fitted a Tdi chip fairly quickly as it was a bit gutless for a 2.2 I thought. This took mpg up to around 46. But then I needed to adjust it to get performance over economy and now it's sitting solidly at 34.2 with a roof box on up and down the motorway.
And the gearbox feels as though it might let me down at some point. 1st to second is very notchy and different every time I change gear. Do I really need 6 gears? 5 decently spread ones used to be fine.
Anyhoo - all round, I like it.
See you on the forum - if I have any other problems that is.
Chris
