2007 chevrolet Captiva reviews

Chevrolet Captiva VCDI 2.0 Automatic gearbox with manual override 2007

Before I bought it I considered lots of similar cars, Santa Fé, Sorento, Mitsubishi Outlander, I even tried a top level Touareg, and MB ... I ended up with the conclusion that the Chevy was the most balanced one. Mine is the 7 seater, 4x4 150Hp version, it has an automatic gearbox with manual override, and beige leather seats and wood like applications on doors and dashboard. The problem most guys have with the precision of the gearbox in my case doesn’t apply, because of the automatic transmission, it’s a bonus... I’m very pleased with it. Of course it has its pros and cons, for instance running with a cold engine is not very enjoyable, lack of power and very noisy, but after a few miles it’s smooth like any other. Of course if it had a diesel 2.5 L 6 cylinders or so engine with a few more Hp it probably would be more agile, but like I said it’s a balanced product. If there was one thing that they could have that they lack it is a GPS integrated system, and the posibility of a USB entrance on the audio system. Also they could have designed a bi-sided independent A/C, and more outlets of the A/C on the rear 3rd row, because the windows have a tendency to experience condensation. In general it’s a very good vehicle, well built and "honest". If I had to choose again I would buy it again! Congratulations to Chevy!
