to all 2009-2010 chevrolet captiva owners

[chaxxx]

im planning to buy a new captiva over montero sport.
can you give me a feed back.

so far the ff are my reasons why i choose to buy captiva
-18 months to pay zero interest
-montero is more expensive on an 18 months to pay deal
-2 liter diesel engine.... reasonable fuel consumption
-150 hp/ 350psi
-every 10km PMS
-labor cost of PMS (maintenance cost) Php 6000.00 + (with fully synthetic oil already)
-oil can be bought outside the dealer maintenance office
-good suspension compared to montero sport after i tested both

If you go through with your Captiva purchase, you might end up regretting your decision:

-labor and parts are god-awful overpriced.
-parts are always out of stock
-quality of vehicles questionable. A friend of my brother bought one last month for his wife. On the 2nd day after delivery, the Captiva will not move in any gear. It was towed back to the casa.

been an owner of a Captiva since 2008. Already logged more than 45k on my odo. Happy with my ride. Never had problems. Didn't even have to change brake pads yet, maybe 5-10k more sabi ng tech. My wife drives it daily and travels weekly or bimonthly dagupan to quezon city and back. my only drawback is what we have is a 5 seater and just had a 3rd row fabricated. You're lucky the captiva now is 7 seater.

Thanks raquino. i also intended to use the captiva as an out-of-town ride. my work needs me to go to batangas once a week. Anyway, il be getting my unit probably tom am.
Also, is there a group here in tsikot.com for captiva owners? it will be wise to put up a group that will break the eyes of some people who thinks that captiva is an inferior vehicle based on ride, price, fuel consumption, power and after sales maintenance. If there's any id like to join. thanks again

I would say Montero is still a true 7-seater, high-ride SUV, while the Captiva is a 5-seater crossover na pilit ginawa lang 7-seater (ang sikip sa third row). So if seating capacity is a consideration, no question which one is the winner here.

And I guess mas madali makakuha ng parts ng Montero kesa Captiva.

Just my 2 cents.

captiva is a good suv pero tama sa *ghost. stay away from chevy, nakuryente na kami dyan with the chevy venture. chevy venture is like the starex in shanghai daw, pang people - mover noon, so i suppose affordable duon sa shanghai. pero dito chevy treats their cars like bmw's sa pricing. my old buddy owns an aveo, and one time he asked me why his PMS cost him 11K. ha! sabi ko sa chevy namin 11K din ang PMS pero aveo na katapat lang ng vios.

never again, kahit maganda yun chevy cruze. i'll appreciate its looks na lang sa parking lot and sa roads. but to own it, never!

Do you have comprehensive insurance? Check your records. Go to your casa and have it checked baka pwede replace yung mga sira na parts. Yun lang you have to pay for the participation fee. Sometimes it's cheaper to pay for the replacement and repair kung maliit lang than claiming through insurance. Magtanong tanong ka sa service center.

if may insurance ka den probably participation fee lang ung babayaran mo. sa casa nman e walang problema pag paint lang problema ng bumper pero if malaki ang sira den baka ireplace nila ung bumper, not sure sa availability though. imo, chev q ave ang usualy may parts kasi dati kailangan palitan nung side mirror ko, naghanap ako sa lahat ng chev at sa q ave lang meron. sa mags nman if scratches lang e madali lang nila magagawa un, pero if very deep, d ko alam tanong mo nalang sa casa hehe
