Chevrolet Captiva [Merged]

[Lion Prince]

Lion Prince,
yes diesel vcdi. it's not really noisy like the old diesel engines. it may be noisy at start-up but lesser than the old ones, pero habang umiinit na o tumatakbo na tumatahimik siya. you won't reallyy notice the noise pag tumatakbo na just alittle diesel clutter on a lower note nga lang maririnig mo. no vibratons ang engine, fairly smooth siya and very good power. no problems with my unit 33000 kms. na takbo.

thanks raq...its always nice to get updates from users unlike if you test drive it for an hour...big difference..

do you advice buying the diesel? some people say its like a "bird" in the engine... true or not? is it really powerful? how's the torque? can you drive super fast in edsa at night?

yes would highly recommend the vcdi it has lots of power and torque on demand. no problem overtaking, just step on the pedal and it will respond immediately, not much turbo lag. no problem uphill to baguio kahit puno. ou can always use the tiptronic if you want more control. speed? akala mo di siya diesel. crdi engines are powerfull. reached 180kph already sa sctex. sinubukan ko lang and meron pa ibibigay takot lang ako. consumption? was empty then gas up ako 500pesos, went to qc from dagupan 31st october used it daily qc area til yesterday nov. 2 papunta mandaluyong dun na lang nag red light. matipid siya para sa akin especially compared to my starex.

mga magkano diffence ng parts and maintenance ng chev against japanese cars like honda? hope you can guys help me.

I don't have a honda but i guess it's cheaper than a honda. pms ko sa casa inclusive na lahat pati is 5-7ihou. i belive this is cheaper or is reasonable considering it's a diesel and needs like 7 liters of oil.

not a problem, if you think like a 35 year old, then you're in...maybe raquino can organise this whole thing? like next month?

is your captiva diesel or gas? if its diesel, do you hear the "noisy humming bird" in the engine? hehehe...

do you get admiring glances as well?


have you experienced the white smoke in the pipe?

[raquino]

I'm also more than 35 y/o but maybe think like one. di pa naman tayo matanda talaga. I won't be ab;e though to organize one kasi I'm not from Manila or QC. Taga norte ako, Dagupan City, Pangasinan.

Sir so far ay wala naman akong problema sa makina pa... yun nga lang yung 2 shock sa front ay may tagas na pero naka skedyul na palitan ng casa... Diesel ang unit ko sir...... at saka wala din akong na experienced na white smoke.

I own a 15 month old captiva and already logged 32k plus mileage. Never had problems with my captiva vcdi. good power, comfortable, no kalampag whatsoever. loved my captiva. just hoped it was a 7 seater. don't know if I can order from the factory though. Baka pasadya na lang ako ng fold flat seat sa Leder Interia or somewhere else. Any suggestions?

I've test driven a Captiva Diesel last June sa Alabang & comfortable naman ang ride. Ang hirap magdecide at inabot ako ng 5 mos. to decide. Salamat sa thread na ito at nakatulong ng malaki sa decision. Nagpareserve nko ng Captiva diesel sa Shaw yesterday kaya lang jack en poy pa kmi ni Mrs. sa kulay( silver ako sya nmn e royal gray) he he he guyz help! gusto ko silver. wahhh. kelangan ko tibay ng dibdib.

A dark grey looks better.

BTW, I hope you are fine with the Captiva's lack of performance (very very very slow acceleration).

I was looking to buy captiva last August, ok naman yung test drive. I also sat at the third row so I can feel if matagtag pero maganda naman ride. So I was already decided to get one until I realized the gas version wasn't really a good buy since its diesel version is priced same as montero. Kung meron lang gas yung montero probably pareho na presyo nila ng captiva gas.

So I ended up buying the montero and buti na lang. Ride ng montero mas maganda than my civic and altis 2002 models, even third row ng montero mas maganda pa rin as compared even sa front seat ng both civic and altis, no exageration. Captiva is ok pero price wise dun ka na sa montero.

good day

sir avid monty owner ka pala visit mo thread ng monty sport at join ka na sa mscp club ..btw i had two friends who owns a captiva diesel and they were both satisfied with their ride ..kulangn ang daan para sa kanila ..daw he..he..


cheers

He he he, with the kind of roads & traffic conditions here in Cavite, di ko na kelangan ang acceleration. 5 min. ride from Imus to Sm Bacoor most of the time will take almost 1 hr. or more. Grabe. Thanks sa color suggestion mo, my wife won.

[raquino]

i don't think na very very slow ang acceleration. malakas naman siya. meron lang initial lag pag apak mo pero after a short while hahataw na. ok naman accelaeration niya better pa than the tucs para sa akin.

It has a decent acceleration naman & breaking. It is bigger than the Tucs/ CRV and smaller than the Monty/Fortu, hindi sya bulky. Good looking din. Pang small size family talaga. Di ko pa lang alam kung kelan gagamitin yung tiptronic gear shift nya?

With regards to speed, there is one SUV owner na nakipagkarera sa Captiva sa STAR tollway in Batangas & guess who won? D' Captiva won. He kept on asking wht is the top speed of the captiva? The SUV owner ended up buying one. he he he
