  • Chevrolet Captiva 2.0 D

    What is it?


    It’s an SUV, a five- or seven-seater and, underneath, Vauxhall’s forthcoming Antara will be much the same. Comes with two engines: diesel or petrol, both four-pots.

    Just bought the 2.0D VCDi LT 5 Seat Captiva - two points to make: (1) don't be fooled by the Chevy badge - this is a new generation of Chevrolet and bears no resembelence of former Daewoo models.  This is an assured car - responsive, easy to drive, practical, spacious and reaosnably economical.

This car was better value than both the X Trail and Freelander and should not be overlooked......4000 Miles on I am still smiling as I drive it!

    Not a bad looking car.  Shades of Volvo about it and for a good price.

    Happy to hear you're enjoying it.

    Bring it!!
