Chevrolet Captiva or/vs Toyota Fortuner

[bankai]

guys, need inputs on this, we are planning to get a new ride, at first we want the everest, but after going to chevrolet, we decided we wanted the captiva, then we check out the fortuner, we ended up liking also the fortuner, why?

mas malaki ang fortuner, at mas mataas kesa sa captiva

ang captiva walang third row seats (you have to pay 28k for addt'l 3rd row seats), ut, we do not really need the 3rd row seats, if theres a 3rd row seat much better, and lucky us, we get to see a captiva with 3rd row seats, pag naka-incline na yung 2nd row ng konti tumatama na sa tuhod ko (i'm 5'8") and the 3rd row seats is not made from chevy.

what we really liked sa captiva is the all black interior and its amenities, and its a new model, kumbaga mas pogi itsura nya kesa sa fortuner


now, should we get the new pogi model captiva or the old pogi fortuner?

captiva - P1,299,000
fortuner - P1,4++,+++


thanks


PS, please answer more on the looks, i already know the pros and cons of fortuner

Get the Santa Fe...

All kidding aside, it's really up to you. The Captiva's CRDi technology is pretty good, so it shouldn't be any more of an issue than any other CRDi engine out there, while the Fortuner's D4D is somewhat less sophisticated... which means the Captiva should have smoother performance and better economy (should have... whether it actually does, I don't know yet...).

The Fortuner has a somewhat more heavy duty suspension, but the Captiva being lower and front-wheel drive biased, should be more secure on the road, and safer in the rain. The Fort will have the advantage off-road... though I think the Everest is the most capable off-roader amongst the seven-seater set.

What do you need the height for? Are you going off-road? Or do you live in a flood-prone area? If it's the latter, don't base flood-ability on height... check out the position and orientation of the air intakes before you decide. Me? I live in a flood-prone area, and my sedan has survived four-foot deep floods. It's simple. When it's raining hard, don't drive. It's the safest thing to do...

Either way, the Fortuner should also be better at fording floods.

It all boils down to what you want. The Captiva is somewhat better on-road, the Fortuner is much better off-road. You decide which matters more.

if its looks your after, i would go with the captiva. i won't see myself every other kilometer. at di sya takaw carnap.

oo na sir, i really like the looks of the captiva and also the interior of it

right, di sya takaw carnap, iniisip ko na nga na i should warn our family members to take extra precaution on using the fort

[mazdamazda]

if you're just after the looks, then go for the Captiva... it looks more refreshing than the hordes of Fortuner roaming the our streets.

though for my money, I'd rather get the Sta. Fe or Everest.

[mazingerZ]

May I suggest A Subaru XT? It costs around P1.3MM lang. Mas gwapo pa kaysa sa dalawang pinagpipilian. Pero among the two choices, i'd opt for the captiva in CRDi guise.

thanks niky for the answer


i need the height because sometimes i go to flood-prone areas of valenzuela, kawawa naman yung sedan ko

and another thing for height is parang mas secure ka, kita mo lahat

The questions asked by the thread starter is all about the looks (pogi) factor of the Captiva as compared to a Fortuner. He knows or doesn't mind about the pros and cons of the said cars. since he already stated na mas pogi sa kanya yung Captiva i assumed that he is asking the massa or the car enthusiast which they would consider the better looking one regardless of other factors.

[scharnhorst]

Para sakin, mas pogi harap ng captiva, but the fort's got the back.

I don't like the tail light design of the captiva. Parang matang nakabuka at nakatitig sayo. okey sana yung twinpipe

[fras]

Mas pogi yung Captiva sa Fortuner IMO, and mas maganda ride niya. Better test drive both and then choose. Mahirap yung pogi lang, pero biglang pangit pala yung overall quality and performance.

its better that you and your family visit both toyota and chevrolet dealership, ask for a brochures, check the specs study and compare both of them. request for a test drive.

do a little homework, check the internet, use the search option, there is an article/review/comment regarding both vehicle in TopGear and FifthGear websites... (use google/yahoo/msn search engine)

You, and only you have the final say with regard in purchasing a vehicle...

listen to people/friends who actually owns and drive either/or a fortuner/captiva for they're the only one can tell you if the vehicle is good or bad...

[av8or5]

if i had the money to choose between the two, ill choose the captiva...it is nice looking, sporty, better engine, suspension and conti lang sa road.

[jaymd]

Fort ako. Mas sulit sa tingin ko. Pero disadvantage ng fort sobra dami meron, tagtag ng ride tsaka maliit o mahina ang brakes, tsaka dalikado sa carjack and carnap. Yun captiva naman ganda tingnan kasi bago labas e. hehe.

Re: Chevrolet Captiva or/vs Toyota Fortuner

Both cars are considered as SUV, for me i should choose FORTUNER, aside from being popular in the market the condition of this car are guaranteed quality on our climate. The mere fact that the parts are most common and easy to buy anywhere, weather it is original or a replacement its still work to fixed the car. And anyone knows that TOYOTA already established their name in the Philippine market, evidence are proven, that's why the resale value of toyota is quite high compare to chevy. Im not saying chevy is not working good its just happen that I am after the demand and quality proven if I invest my money for a car. I cannot invest my money for something hasn't proven. Proven wise we see on the road.

[shadow3616931]

I am now about to choose between Toyota Fortuner G and Mitshubishi Montero GLS, but it looks like the fort wins because resale value means a lot to me. So, what more if it's chevy vs toyota.

3 to 5 years lang sakin ang car then benta ko na, 2 years lang if it is pre-owned. There are many fortuners around that means more parts will be available (even surplus), therefore higher resale value.

I already test drove the new fort, someone sitting on 3rd row and another on 2nd and I was the one driving, believe me di na sya matagtag, its suspension has been changed according to my SA.

[projector]

for me toyota fortuner kakakuha ko palang ng 2008 2nd gen fortuner
ang ganda ng performance at ang tipid s diesel
2.5D4D G kinuha ko

[Juan591]

Toyota Fortuner is my choice.

1. Kasi maporma.
2. Because the build quality is superb talaga.
3. Siyempre it's a Toyota, the no.1 japanese car brand we've known for.
4. Engines are excellent and outsanding.
5. Features and specifications are exceptional and incomparable.
6. Price is affordable and reasonable.
7. Robust and sturdy chassis.
8. Smooth operation and clean running.
9. Fuel efficient
10. No match talaga sa Captiva.

Bakit marami ang mga Fortuner ngayon?
Kasi maganda nga talaga, mura pa.
No match talaga sa Captiva, kaya kita niyo?
Ang daming naka Fortuner because of its quality.

Talking about the "stiff" suspension, FYI, the new 2009 Fortuners have adjusted suspensions already. So what if the Captiva has the auto-levelling suspension? Di mo naman kailangan yun eh.

Many people hates the Fortuner because they are biased and they're just jealous because they don't even have one.

I'm sure kapag may Fortuner kayo, ipagtatanggol niyo ang kotse niyo.
Duh!

And the Captiva sucks because it's not really ans SUV.
And I think it's not really an American Made.

I think DAEWOO made it. Yuck

based on looks, parehong pogi on a different perspective. captiva=pogi na refined, parang naka-americana. fortuner=pogi na macho, parang naka-maong kumbaga.

but in the end, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. go where your heart beats faster!
