VAUXHALL'S STUNNING ANTARA IS AN SUV WITH ALL THE RIGHT CREDENTIALS TO SUPPORT A MODERN LIFESTYLE - HAPPY IN THE CITY, AND MORE THAN COMFORTABLE AWAY FROM IT. BRISTOL AND ITS GLORIOUS COUNTRYSIDE COULD HAVE BEEN MADE FOR ANTARA'S PERSONALITY…
Explore! That's the new travel mantra for every tourist officer from Caithness to Clacton. But exploring is as much about what to do when you arrive as it is about getting there, and Bristol is a city with all the options. It's a place so wrapped in opportunity it can barely sit still. Even younger children recently voted the @Bristol centre into the UK's top-ten Exciting Places to Explore. Put simply, Bristol has a buzz.
When you're all experienced-up and shopped-out, getting away could hardly be easier: Bristol's lungs are close to its heart, and in the many green and watery bits that dot the city like scatter cushions, you can climb a cliff, straddle a saddle, flex your rowing muscles - or simply lace up the walking boots and breeze out for a day in the country.
And for this forty-something writer and partner, all that makes Bristol the perfect destination for two days of freedom with the Antara SE 2.0 CDTi 16v - our stylish, hugely affable, go-anywhere companion.
