2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LT Fleet 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

The 2013 Captiva I own is an LT. I have loved driving this little SUV. It is quiet, get great gas mileage and is just fun to drive. The rear seats fold down flat which affords plenty of cargo space. The gages are easy to see and the cruise control is the best I have ever used. My LT also has radio controls on the steering wheel which keeps eyes on the road. Good looking and FUN to …

2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LT Fleet 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

This model of car was not available in the U.S. on the new car market. I bought my 2013 Captiva LT (in late 2013) as a "new used" from a car dealer with having under 10k miles on it.

Those seats are quite good …

2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LTZ Fleet 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

I was hoping to drive the car without major repairs for another 2-3 years like my Toyota. I was wrong. The car needed lots of repairs once the mileage was over 100k. July 2019 the car engine …

Great Value for the Money

2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LS Fleet 4dr SUV w/1LS (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

This is an all around great buy in the turbo 4 cylinder version. Handles responsively and interior trim is nicely appointed. I tested all of the crossovers and this rides better than a Rav 4 for a lot less money.
