-The car is less expensive than other small SUV's and crossovers. -The car is roomy (even the back seats are roomy). -The controls are pretty simple. -The car has plenty of extras and features. The LTZ version has a backup camera, seat warmers, leather interior, etc. -It is a perfect size if you are looking for compact but still a bit of room for things. -Engine is a bit under-powered feeling but it is peppy enough for a 4-cylinder. A bigger engine really isn't needed though. It still has enough power with a full load (did just fine up a winding road with 4 adults and groceries from Costco). -Fuel economy is pretty good. Around town we consistently get about 21 MPG where on the highway we get more like 24 MPG.
Bought from Hertz after 2-month long hunting.. Really like it
I've read reviews that just shred the captiva. Some of the complaints are legit, it is under powered and the seats are uncomfortable. I wouldn't drive it in the mountains but around town and short drives it is fun to drive. The 6 speed transmission can be annoying always shifting or down shifting but maybe I can get use to it after awhile. I wish I'd have bought a v6 Dodge Journey.
