A quick browse of the forum is a bit concerning with dpf and mpg problems. We're going from a kia sedona auto to a antara 2.2 4x4 manual with the hope of better mpg. The sedona gets around 22-24 for mixed driving, ultra careful motor driving got around low 30's. I was hoping for an extra 10mpg on average saving around £80-£100 a month on fuel.
Also gone for the exclusiv 4x4 as there doesn't seem too much extra in the way of toys for the extra cost. The sat nav position looks useless, didn't see the point of it down below the gearstick.
Glad it'll have the 100k mile warranty after reading some of the stories. It'll be the first ever 'new' new car we've had, normally go for 1-2 year old cars.
