I drove two versions, one the older version (diesel) and this version (petrol in my case), both are great drives. Versatile and great as a family vehicle that does not need to race on the streets but can do so if you want it to. I like the handling in the latest version more than the older version. Reviews are about 5 hours, proper ownership last a lot longer to access the car. It's all about knowing the car.
I have a Captiva 7 Diesel. LX. I've had it just over a year now and the fuel economy is beginning to get better. I do a lot of driving up and down hills and it gets thirsty under load but I still manage to average 9.3 litres per Hundred Km. On a country trip it seems to be returning 8.7l/100km. I don't notice the body roll that you feel is a problem, but then again I had a Camry before and that was dreadful in the bends. Pretty quiet on road with windows up. Quick overtaking with confidence.
this is so harsh my last car was a ford maverick. I now drive a chevvy captiva lt and I throw this around as much as I did my maverick and the ride is just perfect only time I have issues is understeer when booting it too hard in the wet.....8/10 for me. and to compare it to a landy evoque they are as comfortable to drive as each other...the chevvy is a well tooled motor and the 6 speed manual box is a dream. even when race changing.
This car was a death trap. Owned a 2010 Abs Issues, Engine problems ( 2.4 Gas ), shock absorber leak, A/C compressor blowup, Cooling system problems, High maintenance cost, and lastly Parts scamming. 10 years of suffering then I gave it up. Learnt my lesson.
They are not so different in size. The Kuga is 4,443 mm and the Captiva is 4,637 mm. Thats only 19,4 cm. Differences between other cars in the same class are huge. Mazda 3 vs Golf Mk7 for example. The Mazda is 4,506 mm and the Golf is 4,255 mm. That's 25,1 cm! This is a huge difference! However these cars are compared by reviewers because they're in the same class.
Perfect! I guess nobody will mind, if you say a 6 footer instead of mat. Yes, Mat is 5'11'' but come-on shoes will make him 6' anyway. Also add a suggestion for viewers to check leg and head room for themselves, when they have a chance.. But anyway these are points on being hyper critical - The review is perfect anyway and damn damn better than zillions of review on RUclips.
why do british people love to say, " it's absolutely...." anyway i think it's absolutely beautiful the way they say it and i love their british accent, they just sound a lot more sophisticated than americans or australians or canadians
I loved mine, was a good fun suv got me to Cornwall and Somerset 3 to 4 times a year no problem and great on fuel economy, shame not available in UK anymore as I'd have a newer model
The IIHS tests vehicle seats for whiplash protection and 5mph bumper tests, but other than that, I haven't heard very much about severe rear end testing form either the NHTSA nor the IIHS.
Note to the cameraman and video editor person: please try to shoot a shot in a way that the shadow isn't completely blocking the light inside of the car like at 1:16.
Gud job rebecca, here in OZ we have got this as Holden Cativa and surely biggest problem is body role, engine and cabin noise than low quality music system....
i don't know about 7 seaters, but here in America the 9 seater Chevrolet Suburban does very well, and 9 seater mini and full sized vans do very well also
Yeah, I struggle with the lack of rear-end crash integrity for the 3rd row of seats (2nd even?) I mean, one puts their most loved children in 3rd row (for once I'm NOT being sarcastic !!) and then a rear end shunt could be fatal for them. There is NO legislation for passenger safety in a rear shunt event and it's clear that being THAT close to the tailgate you'll (or your child will) be the crunple zone.
because no one hauls 9 people all day, every day. If they do need it, they can hire a Ford Transit people carrier etc. Typical MPVs here are Ford Galaxy Opel/VX Zafira. Fuel efficient, plenty of torque, does the job fine.
When I first saw this car, it looked old, than I've seen the 2014, than I thought it was just an error, than I looked it up, than it was a 2014, but my first thing that came to mind was that, their trying to keep the look of the chevy trax, but put a little of the Kia Rondo in it, than it came up,with what ever this car is, I don't think it will sale.
Brilliant review this one is!! Getting really confident now and a pleasure to watch. She's almost cheeky!! lol! Matt ..... ya fired!!! ha ha. Well done Rebecca. :)
I think you had a bit of a problem with the luminosity of the sun because we can't see much of the butt and the passenger seat. It's a detail but it's better to notice it.
I currently own a 2013 Captiva, diesel. It’s the most unreliable car ever, way to expensive to maintain recently costs me over £5K to repair gear box and that’s not including other unnecessary repair that keeps on creeping up. Now I’m considering getting rid of it get something cheaper and reliable. Such a huge disappointment!
Yeti has 4x4 dynamic drive with 170 bhp goes from 0-60 in 8 secs approx. Not bad at all. I'm guessing you haven't driven it. Captiva is too large, heavy and high seater like a truck... so you can't really feel the power and connection with the road.
please can someone help me; i am looking for the oil sump gasket because mine is leaking oil, i have searched every site known to man, but cannot see it, 2012 . 2:2 diesel
I would prefer to spend a bit more and buy the Vauxhall/Opel Antara, which is made in the same factory but has much more quality (what is a stab in the back for Daewoo), and has 4x4 as standard, corners better also.
It is a Daewoo and it drives like one :( I recently test drove one expecting it to be a nice motorway cruiser, but it felt worse on there than even a Ford Fiesta.
"What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got, say, pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angels' trumpets and devils' trombones. You are invited!"
Lol you're not the best person to demonstrate the amounts of room in the cars....yes you're pretty and cute but to demonstrate the room you need someone tall and then we'll see how much room there really is.
Agreed. Just for info, I'm 6'8 and am looking to buy a captiva simply because it's the first car I have sat in that I have to move the drivers seat forward a bit to drive. Well apart from a Vaux carlton I owned a long time ago.
the ford kuga is a different size car so you can not compare the two . also if you brake hard in any car they rock and looking at the video i did not see the rocking you said , it did not sound noisy and its a bloody big car to be going on with ,
I just hate how the big names like VW, Audi and Chevrolet totally overprice their cars.. Just compare this Captive with the Hyundai ix35 and see if the big price difference worth it
You really can't say that. I can say Škoda and Chevrolet are pretty much the same quality and value for money. I am saying for Octavia and Lacetti because drove both.
I've got this strong feeling that the cameraman also found it difficult to focus on the car :D I'm judging it on the fact, that the viewing angles are concentrated on Rebecca's atributes way more frequently that they should ;p Nothing wrong with that, though ;]
I had one. Great big SUV. Biggest problem was reliability and customer care. Both well below par. Economy isn't great, but the 180HP has lots of guts. I liked the it a lot. But these issues made me change to a VW.
Now VW is unreliability personified, it is unreliability on a whole other level. If it was reliabilty you were after you have turned to the wrong place !!!

To be fair, if you drive a car like a go-kart it will rock when you stop it. Brakes are meant to be used progressively, not stomped on!
She absolutely slammed that thing to a full stop and it had like 1 inch of wobble

Rebbeca it is obvious you listen to your viewers, you reviews are getting better and better! I enjoy watching your reviews now!
"the exterior styling will ensure that you stand out from the crowd"
You got that right!

kenko ko I'm 4 years late but who knows. I'm about to buy a second hand one, were you happy after the amount of years you've owned him?
This Captiva (2013), need come to Brazil urgent, this model its so beautiful and tecnology and modern.
I have a Captiva 7 Diesel. LX. I've had it just over a year now and the fuel economy is beginning to get better.

Rebecca, You're a looot better now. Saw your first review, and then this! My god you're good at improving your reviewing skills. Keep it up girl!

Youre not the only one
The best review Rebecca has done so far, really really good!
I have not thought about a 7 seater, but you have definately captured my attention.
Personally I found, via a test drive, the Captiva was quiet, responsive and gentle in breaking.
This car was a death trap. Owned a 2010
Abs Issues, Engine problems ( 2.4 Gas ), shock absorber leak, A/C compressor blowup, Cooling system problems, High maintenance cost, and lastly Parts scamming.

They have a 5 star safety rating
love your reviews rebecca, you and mat are the best on youtube
And Doug de muro
I have this car and everything she says is a 100%. Love it still.
I always love the way she says "here".
I rather like the presenter. XD
She is quite good tbh
I like this car. My dad had it.
You have improved you reviews immensely Rebeca. Well done. You look fantastic in jeans too :P
It's safe to say, she's getting better !

New camera angle. Great view!
Just bought one last night 2015, I need it to do me justice ❤️
Nicely showed that 3rd row space, wonderful review!!!

I'm captivated!!
Another great review from Rebecca! :D particularly like how the camera is placed in front of her when she's driving.
why do british people love to say, " it's absolutely...." anyway i think it's absolutely beautiful the way they say it and i love their british accent, they just sound a lot more sophisticated than americans or australians or canadians
Good review,just need to slow the pace a bit.Maybe take the cars to Silverston and show us a bit of a handling review lol
1:15: "quite alot of luggaishhhh" :))
That facelift is amazing
I loved mine, was a good fun suv got me to Cornwall and Somerset 3 to 4 times a year no problem and great on fuel economy, shame not available in UK anymore as I'd have a newer model
I think the steering wheel is so big and a bit thin.. like the buses's
Craptiva
Wow... she is looking pretty good in this review. She look like this for all her reviews. Pleasantly surprised!!
She's really gotten good at this.
Cool, energetic review.
Keep it coming!
Give us some comparative numbers if you can. "it's huge" doesn't really mean much.
The IIHS tests vehicle seats for whiplash protection and 5mph bumper tests, but other than that, I haven't heard very much about severe rear end testing form either the NHTSA nor the IIHS.
Maybe you have your reasons. But I was not kidding. It is a great car for the price. Its as good as a BMW X1.
Note to the cameraman and video editor person: please try to shoot a shot in a way that the shadow isn't completely blocking the light inside of the car like at 1:16.

i giggle everytime she says 5 foot 4 and a half ;)... awesome review Rebecca
i don't know about 7 seaters, but here in America the 9 seater Chevrolet Suburban does very well, and 9 seater mini and full sized vans do very well also
Agreed but I wasn't talking about that. A poster called this an American car while technically it's not.
Thanx a ton for your lucid review
It was so helpful
Yeah, I struggle with the lack of rear-end crash integrity for the 3rd row of seats (2nd even?) I mean, one puts their most loved children in 3rd row (for once I'm NOT being sarcastic !!) and then a rear end shunt could be fatal for them. There is NO legislation for passenger safety in a rear shunt event and it's clear that being THAT close to the tailgate you'll (or your child will) be the crunple zone.
So before I assume .. the driver seat in this video was on the left or is that just because of video
I personally think the Captiva feels a bit like a SUV, I mean look at the steering wheeel, so huge and thing like you find in big American SUVS lol
because no one hauls 9 people all day, every day. If they do need it, they can hire a Ford Transit people carrier etc. Typical MPVs here are Ford Galaxy Opel/VX Zafira. Fuel efficient, plenty of torque, does the job fine.
Disguise themselves it'll
Amazing SUV
thank god for springtime
it's the pink thong girl, lol
great time to be alive.
brumsgrub I see you watched the Orlando review too. :D
i miss Rebecca
From the side this car looks allot like the Honda CRV to me. Great review.
There is a third row in the Captiva??? Amazing!
When I first saw this car, it looked old, than I've seen the 2014, than I thought it was just an error, than I looked it up, than it was a 2014, but my first thing that came to mind was that, their trying to keep the look of the chevy trax, but put a little of the Kia Rondo in it, than it came up,with what ever this car is, I don't think it will sale.

What a body, the car's not bad either. The presenter is well fit !
Definitely wouldn’t mind testing out that back seat with her
would you just look at her body, i cant stop drooling every time she does a review
Is this basically the same car as the Chevy traverse and the Buick enclave?
That's a nice boot, the car's nice too.
how does she know that the manual isn't good?... she drove the auto! i guess she heard a rumour?
I wish we got this as a second generation in the US 😢
I think you had a bit of a problem with the luminosity of the sun because we can't see much of the butt and the passenger seat. It's a detail but it's better to notice it.

Sweety you are improving with your reviews, very clever using your height to check proportions of the vehicle. Keep it up girl!!!
Yeti has 4x4 dynamic drive with 170 bhp goes from 0-60 in 8 secs approx. Not bad at all. I'm guessing you haven't driven it. Captiva is too large, heavy and high seater like a truck... so you can't really feel the power and connection with the road.
How can you compare this SUV with a Ford Kuga which only has 5 seats?
Hello sir could you tell me please USA Captiva sport shock absorbers can fit in Captiva C140? Thanks for answer by the way!))
Very nice! No, not the car!
I was wondering if you have done a review on the new Chrysler grand voyager if you haven't please do one!
please can someone help me; i am looking for the oil sump gasket because mine is leaking oil, i have searched every site known to man, but cannot see it, 2012 . 2:2 diesel
It uses parts from the Saturn Vue and is designed to be a fleet vehicle.
I would prefer to spend a bit more and buy the Vauxhall/Opel Antara, which is made in the same factory but has much more quality (what is a stab in the back for Daewoo), and has 4x4 as standard, corners better also.
It fits the carbuyer big bottle TEST? So it fits the test not the bottle.
what truck?
It is a Daewoo and it drives like one :(
I recently test drove one expecting it to be a nice motorway cruiser, but it felt worse on there than even a Ford Fiesta.
In Australia they are made by Holden (same thing) and they are everywhere!
imported by daewoo u mean

First thing she says 'lets see how much room there is in the back'. Mmm, yes lets do that haha
i like how she says "Here"
I wonder what 7 seater can actually fit adults in the third row for long journeys apart from say a Mercedes GL
the ford kuga is a different size car so you can not compare the two . also if you brake hard in any car they rock and looking at the video i did not see the rocking you said , it did not sound noisy and its a bloody big car to be going on with ,
Little bit awkward how you only get that tiny lcd thing where the sat nav obviously should be on the higher spec
It's funny how Chevrolet doesn't offer these decent models in North America, if they did I'm sure it would do them some good.
I just hate how the big names like VW, Audi and Chevrolet totally overprice their cars..
Just compare this Captive with the Hyundai ix35 and see if the big price difference worth it
I must say I'm actually driving this car very nice nothing bad of this car
This funny shaped bag! All fit in their quite nicely! Lol
In Australia its Holden Captiva not Chevrolet Captiva :)
You really can't say that. I can say Škoda and Chevrolet are pretty much the same quality and value for money. I am saying for Octavia and Lacetti because drove both.
But does it go Offroad? =)

Is the Vw better thab chevy?
Now VW is unreliability personified, it is unreliability on a whole other level. If it was reliabilty you were after you have turned to the wrong place !!!
@@xXMrGamePlayerXx VW reliability is extremely poor, and very expensive to maintain when out of warranty.
you never showed the rearmost window opener
Thanks. I'll take my chances.
Car makers have nixed third row seats in this vehicle class in the US. They want you to buy the next size up.
Tough competition for Mat!
if britain wants a big, and unusual SUV, why don't you just request Suburbans or Expeditions to be shipped over?
