Some of you might remember these photos from a thread that I started "over there" but I thought it would be interesting to see what others think about the Antara without rails or if any of you who have seen them, has your attitude changed since taking delivery of your car ?

Nope prefer them on.

Being a SUV I prefer roof rails and wouldnt have it any other way.

Hi Doc,


I'm in agreement with both you and Grumps in preferring them on.


The lack of the rails really does make a big difference in the overall look and size of the vehicle.

I use my Antara for what it is , SUV. Last weekend I had 5 mountain bikes on it..thanks to my son organising some downhilling with his mates, and then asking for a lift !!! So not wanting to disappoint I had 3 on the tow bar bike carrier and 2 on the roof. I couldnt do that without the roof rails.....and not forgetting the roof box when we go away !!

You may have just unwittingly started a competition......

How many mountain bikes can you get in/on an Antara ?

Had 4 road bikes on mine last week. 2 in the roof, 2 on the Saris Bones on the back. The bikes were more valuable than my new car. lol

doesnt look right without them for me.

I prefer them on too. Just started me wondering though, how much will the removal of the rails increase fuel efficiency?

Not sure here.have they been removed.or just not fitted now.
