I got a 2014 Captiva & is really a great car for me & wife.
Very economical & good engine.
Haven't got any problems with it,except the a/c & Chevy fix it under warranty.
I bought it I 2014 with 8k miles.
I will be keeping this Chevy until it falls apart! Right now it has 45k miles!
Great vehicle..and looks like new!
Get rid of it before 70,000 miles. Thats when they start consuming a quart of oil every 1000 miles. A quart every 1000 miles is acceptable oil consumption by GM. But extended warranty will not cover this car because it uses oil. Owning a Captiva became a nightmare. Sell the car immediately is my suggestion.
Fleet buyer special! I love the Opel bits in it
Just bought one with 99,300 miles and I absolutely love it, the design is nice and the interior is very suitable and very comfortable to me......then again, I have never driven newer fancier cars. I always have owned cheaper and older cars, so the captiva is perfect to me.
I also enjoy that it's rare around my area and I can say that I basically own a saturn. I drive all highway 90% of the time and love the fuel mileage. The carfax showed normal maintenance and it was very well taken care of and never beaten on or raced.
Sell it immediately. It is going to start using more oil than you can afford. If you keep it check the oil every time you fill up with gas.
@@darwinchapmam6343 I got rid of that shit right after I got it....I was leaking exhaust badly into the cabin, even after being fixed.
I have a 2012 Captiva Sport LTZ. V6, AWD, leather? Purchased it as a vehicle that serves its purpose like a toaster oven. I use it, abuse it, rarely clean it, and paid a fraction of the cost of comparables. People smash carts into it at Costco...and I couldn't bother to care in the slightest. All the sudden iv put 35k miles on it, and its been a surprisingly good small SUV. I torture it here in Colorado, expecting it to explode and yet it just doesn't. Captiva👍 like a kitchen appliance but an SUV.
There are lots of reasons to turn the traction control off. One is when it is icy and you're trying to get out of your driveway and there is a hump of ice or snow, or trying to get up a slight incline when it is slick, as soon as traction control detects slip it stops the wheel, so you can't spin enough to get momentum to get over obstacles like that. Sometimes you actually want your wheels to spin a little bit rather than just completely stop turning which can leave you stranded in ice snow or mud.
I got a 2013 Chevy captiva it hasn’t gave me too many problems but I will say I’m currently at 180000 miles bought it at 130000 miles and I drive it down the interstate great on gas. Love it and I will drive it til the wheels fall off
Check you oil at each fuel stop.
“At 200k I would too” 💀
Thank you for this amazing review 🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾
I. bought a 2012 Captiva sport in '14 and have 58k on it. I like it, burns a little oil and trans hesitates a little now and then but I plan to keep it till heaven comes.
I have to say I love my Chevy Captiva 2013 I love it
I lovee my 2014 heavy captiva , it’s honestly the best , I bought it about 4 1/2 years ago 🥰. 💚
Rented a Capriva in 2015 and actually really liked it
I just now bought a 2013 chevrolet Captiva. 1 week ago after my 2017 Hyundai Accent was stolen. I mean it's nice but I think it'll need a few upgrades
I just got one and I’ll also be making updates. I’m going to install a back up camera to help me with reverse parking.
"I don't know who in their right mind would turn off traction control" It depends on how good the traction control system is. Until I got my Camry, every single car I owned with TC drove worse in the snow with it on than with it off. My 2015 Camry is the first car I've owned where I actually leave it on most of the time. It's that good.
My favorite weird car that I almost bought was the 2008-2010 Saturn Vue Redline with the 3.6 v6 and the 4 or 5 speed auto transmission. Since they are harder to find now I could just get a good running Captiva v6 and add the Redline bumpers to the car. Then again it has its charms just the way it is.
i have one and its super fun
It could be very well a foreign market thing. My 1994 Deville has the same warning but that is because in the early 90s and in the 80s there were lots of accidents involving little kids that would get a hold of their parents cars and put it into drive and get into very bad accidents. And of course a lot of people that were buying 90s cars were coming from older cars that didn’t have such interlock systems.
Volkswagen has a similar thing.
I guess GM knew how bad it was, so they decided not to sell it to the public. It was so bad that many people call it the "Craptiva". If you're buying a compact crossover, you're better off getting a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V.
From owning a Pontiac with the back floor panel locks I can tell you that if it isn't locked it will rattle, especially as you go over bumps, it can sound like someone is slamming something in the back of your car.
Omg. I agree, didnt do research...i am literally depressed.
This is horrible
Ok, this is long. Bought 2013 chevy captiva last summer. Within a month, it over heated and the ac stopped when that happened. Found out my model was made with the wrong bolts so ...spilled oil. We were doing one oil change a month, and still adding oil...drivinf on day the captiva just died, while driving. Got a tow to mels garage in watertown, wi. Paid for a re manufactured enegine. Just got the car back about a month ago
ALSO, just put a brand new battery in this past November before the enegine replacement. A week ago parked and work, came out..wouldn't start...all i hear is a tik tik tik. All lights, music etc still worked. It sat for two days, tried starting it started. Drove for a week, parked. Died again. Tried bumping the starter , it wouldnt turn over just a tik.... it start another 5 days...it started and fine again...then died
Please annnny suggestions???!!
We were thinking wiring? We have a warranty w the re manufactured enegine.
Anythinf would help. Thanks 👌
I have to honestly say I’ll NEVER buy another Chevy product in my life. I have a 2013 model CRAPtiva as I like to call it. It’s given me so many problems over the years it’s just been one issue after another. Started having rough idle problems before 100k miles. Had a mechanic work on it and it still has a rough idle at times. My cousin used to have an Equinox and had the same problems!
My front wheel bearings went out at around 125k miles. Now the rear main seal leaks and it burns oil. If you want reliability, stay far away from anything made by GM! My next vehicle will either be a Toyota or Hyundai.
Same man
I have a 2014 Captiva and I love mine, it just turned 130,000 and the only real problem I've had is the VVT solenoids go out which is a common problem with the 2.4 Ecotec engine.
I`ve had the same problem, horever, I fixed them, this is a chronic trouble,but, it`s easy the resolve.
Is it expensive?
I have only seen two of these in my lifetime. At a distance, I thought it was a Saturn Vue.
Surprisingly, I see them a lot where I live. And I'm not just talking about the one my dad drives.
technicly speaking you reviewed an opel already , the buick regal
This is basically the saturn vue...oh wait he says that
I actually have one of these. Had no clue it was something you weren’t supposed to buy. It said fleet vehicle when I was looking at the ad for it when I bought. I didn’t know what it meant until now. 9:39 (edit: Ah never mind I was gonna say that’s really weird you can’t buy these because I bought mine from a Chevy dealer)
It's so weird, the Holden Captivas used to be everywhere but I can't remember the last time I saw one! Holden dealers were notoriously shocking at handling the many, many, MANY defects and issues with them and after the 2013 announcement that the Holden plant was closing in 2017 they well and truly threw in the towel. The Captiva destroyed the reputation of Holden for a lot of people, and it wouldn't surprise me if that's one of the reasons that caused GM to kill the brand entirely.
100% The "Craptiva" was a very good reason why we lost Holden. Terrible reliability from Daewoo engineering. Holden dealers couldn't care less about fixing issues, because they genuinely didn't know how to fix these shit heaps.
Similar story with the Cruze too. At least with the Cruze, Aussie built models were better.
Craptivas were just crap
I have a 2013 chevy captiva with 130,000 and nothing was wrong, only the gas cap was changed very well
Cost..?
water boils at 212F or 100C so if your engine is above that then there is something wrong!
Not in a pressurized system.
@@zackc.8015 well would you want your engine running above 220? thats the beginning of the death zone for most engines. just cuz its not boiling cuz of the pressure doesn't mean theres something not wrong going on if your engine is running 40 degrees hotter than the normal temp.
@@mromatic17 Most GM engines in my experience tend to run at 220+..otoh my Toyota 4cyl is cold blooded, 190 max even in stop and go at 90 degrees ambient.
@@zackc.8015 if your toyota is only running at 90 id check to see if your thermostat is missing or stuck open cuz if you don't have it somewhat hot then it can damage it cuz theres not enough expansion and give in the metal. thats why I said most vehicles start to get hot in the 220 range. I had a 2004 Grand Prix gtp that would run in the 240 range all the time. I drove it for 30k plus miles like that. I sold it cuz I was afraid the cheap plastic intake manifold was leaking coolant somewhere and it would eventually blow a head gasket or head. the 3.8 is one of their better engines too. I love gm's v8's, but I will never buy another gm product again! I have had nothing but shit luck with them!
@Jonathan A yeah and GM also uses shit coolant that gells up and destroys engines. they build shit products. every gm product i, my friends or family has owned has been a raging pile of shit! they only good things that they build are v8's, their 4l80/TH400, and the duramax which isn't even their design!
no all rental car agencies sell their cars after about 2-3 years cuz thats how they make a profit. The first rental car agencies were started by car dealerships as a way to "manufacture used cars" cuz they have the highest profit generation ability.
So is 190 cold or hot I’m freaking out
I have that car I love it
Very confusing, I can't tell if you mean the "sport" was available to the public, or not, and what year you're referring to.
"I can't imagine anyone turning off traction control unless they were being held at gunpoint in this car" me who has a Chevy Captiva with bald tires in the rain *clicks traction control off*
Traction control is for people who don't posses driving skills. Same as anti lock brakes. False sense of security.
@@darwinchapmam6343 this comment was so long ago.... I have a new car but still turn traction control off 🤣
At80000 I replaced a head gasket n timing belt and breaks I’d like to add a new radio with apple car play
Cost..?
My parents own a 2012 Chevy Captiva
I dont like the idea of center scrren all esential gauges must be displayed on cluster like in HONDA Odysee to see whats going on unless its too late. Cheking thing on center screen causes distraction when you are dring 75mph and its not safe.
"Can't buy", huh?
Tell that to my grandmother who bought one in 2013 to replace her totaled '09 Kia Rondo. Hell, she gave it to my dad to replace his '99 GMC Sierra and it's his daily driver (no pun intended).
The 2011 Chevy Caprice was a lot more rare and that was actually a good car.
13 captiva 115k miles
My parents have a 2015 Chevy Captiva
Holden Craptiva is what it's known as here in Australia.
I’m in the US and have a Captiva and that’s what I’ve been calling it for a while now. I’ll never buy another Chevy vehicle.
@@SethBlackMedia GM don't make good cars with less than 8 cylinders.
Why can't you buy it?🤔 There is one for sale around me right now. Nevermind. I see you explained it. 😸
I have named mine a , Craptiva.. chevy forgot to add the missing r
Timing chain went at 100k then radiator 1,000 miles later. Then another 1,000 miles wheel bearing and altinator.. fix something and something alse soon goes I'm currently at 118,000 miles.
My wifes has touch screen display radio
I can't buy it? I see it listed for sale right now lol
Whatever you do, dont purchase an extended warranty for this car. Especially from Endurance Auto warranty. They wont cover oil consumption issues. Or problems resulting from oil consumption. So basically the warranty is worthless. Having owned one of these, i can tell you that they are garbage and dont buy this or any GM vehicle with a GDI engine.
Do not buy this car! I have had a 2013 captiva for 3 years and it has needed A LOT of work. Alternator and belt replaced twice, new cables for the battery, new camshaft. The engine is very loud on both eco mode and not and is terrible on gas. All this before 75k miles
It's a car from a rental company, people treat rental cars like crap, but looks like you got a lemon with all that work that the car needs at 75k miles
Lol Captiva and sport should never be used in the same sentence. Not a lot sporty here, we know them as the Craptiva. About what you would expect from a Daewoo vehicle !!!
omg my car💀
it was a car made only for rental car facilities! gm is the quintessential generic cookie cutter car maker! I worked in rental cars for 8 years and everytime I told them I had a gm product everyone got pissed off cuz they are that boring and shitty! the only thing that gm does well is build v8's! other than that they are complete garbage!
This was an awful car quality wise. Drove in one for a week once, and the quality, as expected for a lower quality GM, wasn’t there. I believe they only used these at rental car companies.
Never had any problem with mine
The only thing I heard is bla bla bla
