Chevrolet Captiva [Merged]

[numbah5]

hey guys!! just came back from PIMS... i test drove the captiva.. my take:

- it has one powerful diesel engine!! pinaabot ko ng 120 km/h sa macapagal

- its diesel engine is really quiet, sounds like a gasoline engine

- it has a 5-speed tiptronic auto tranny

- braking distance is ok

- body roll is much better than the 2007 cr-v

- rides better than the cr-v

- interior is kinda plasticky, but nice appointments though

- audio system sounds good, it is even ipod ready through an auxiliary jack

- top of the line version has side and curtain airbags

- it is roomier than the cr-v and x-trail

in conclusion, this is the suv that everyone is waiting for... it will really take the market from the cr-v and x-trail.

sa harap lang ang aircon di ba? walang a/c vents sa 2nd row seats?

sana hindi tumaas ang presyo like what happened sa fortuner

sir ano ang safety features ng 4X2...seat material leather din ba?...tnx!...

[numbah5]

safety features of 4x2 is dual front airbags and abs/ ebd only. for the 4x4 it has side and curtain airbags. all variant have fabric material, pero malambot ang mga seats... mas malambot pa kesa sa fortuner

GM Autoworld -Pitch the 7 seater into the market at may panglaban talaga kayo.

[AG4]

5-seater model only, no 3rd row, so it has a big cargo area.

Dual exhausts...

Stylish side mirrors(power folding) with integrated turn signal...

But if you plan to keep the Captiva on the years to come (eg. 5 years) then resale value shouldn't matter. Sulit na yan :D Let's hope the Captiva doesn't become like the Venture which became very problematic to the buyers.

If put the 3rd row seats, then I think the 3rd row's leg room will be cramped and like the Ford Expedition, you're at level with your knees when seated.

For those of you who test drove it, hindi ba matagtag? Which SUV in the market is the ride comparable with?

By the way, there is a compartment below the rear cargo floor of the Captiva(the real floor?), this is where the 7-seater model's 3rd row folds flat.

Sa nakita ko doon sa 7 seater, actually may space pa rin. Masikip lang ng kunti kung ikompara natin sa SF pero pwede pa rin. Liit-liit ng Carens pero 7 seater.

Maganda ang ride ng Captiva CRDI 4WD(nakisakay lang ako)..Ibang klase talaga to at mukhang eto ang best GM-Daewoo product yet!! Buti't may 2WD CRDI variant(1.275M) para mas matipid at mas practical...

Kawalan ba yung third row seats?Hindi rin dahil kung parang sa Sorento naman ang comfort ng 3rd row seats nito eh wag nalang!!

Anyway sa October pa ang start ng delivery ng units sa customers...

[TFR]

I test drove one yesterday with a friend who is in a market for a new cuv. Power and ride is okay, but there is some sort of a lag when you step on the gas, fly-by-wire ba gas pedal nito? its too soft, parang springy of some sort, lacks feedback feel on the foot. Seats cushion is also too soft and fabrics quality and workmanship is not that good, other than this great looking car. Ride is not bad either. Hope They perform well. Sales rep need to improve too, they dont seem to know anything about their products, maybe it so new, but then again isnt it their job to know this stuff to better sell the products? Bigger rims should be used, 16in is just not enough.

[niky]

RE: Ride. It's a bit stiffish... but more Corolla stiff than Fortuner stiff.

Comparable... I'd say maybe the CR-V... but the new CR-V is still better in terms of ride quality.

[OTEP]

I saw the unit but didn't really take much time to look over it. I don't like the dash as it mocks you for not ordering sat-nav (much like the Super Safari's dash) by putting a lunch box sized bin where the screen is supposed to be.

Other than that the vehicle seems promising.

Just a question:
Other than AWD, what features from the AWD diesel are not in the 4x2 diesel model?

And what is that chessy plastic lid beside the front passenger's left shoe? Fuse box?

Akala ko nga naka-folded down yung 3rd row so when I grabbed the handle to open it, floor compartment ang bumulaga sa akin

I know of people who test drove the unit and said na better ride daw yung Captiva kaysa CRV. Iba-ibang feel lang siguro

[myxtlplyx]

e2 ang captiva yung red gusto nyo ba post ko yung mga chix ?? hehehe

True... Thats because the Captiva is the 1st new GMDAT model to be developed with GM from the start.
Its built on GM's updated compact/mid-size Theta platform.

[BlueBimmer]

ngayon ko lng napansin, ala civic/city/jazz pala side mirror ng captiva...

[oldblue]

mas ok nga 5-seater para walang sumabay sayo. yun sa sta fe lagi nakatago, baka maging skul bus pa ako nothanks hehehe
