I've got a vauxhall antara it's the sister to the captiva . The captiva is on a longer wheelbase and has 7 seats rather than 5 of the antara . Mechanically they're the same though . Good tow vehicle 2.2 engine with 163 hp or 184 hp . Not as economic as makers claim I get 24-27 mpg towing 1400kg but it does it effortlessly I average 30mpg solo and get nearly 40 mpg on a good long run .Mine is manual auto will return less. The DPF system is a nuisance if you do a lot of short distance runs . Regens every 375-600 miles so 1 on every tankful of fuel . This isn't unique to Chevrolet / vauxhall plenty of other manufacturers have similar systems since 2007 onwards . Hope info helps notice your just down road from me I'm in Boothstown but store van in Leigh . I like you Athertonian accent !

Oh shall we have a meet I'm in Lowton and have a Captiva :)
I Second what rd57chad said. I get 33mpg going onto Warrington every day and 25 mpg with the van on. Tows like a dream with the van on though just wish the MPG was a bit better. Depends which model you get as to whether you get 7 seats, I have the LTZ and have used the 7 seats twice in 3 years.
