Used 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport SUV Consumer Reviews
Great little SUV
I love my 2014 captiva. First of all, it is easy to get in and out of which pleases my bad knees. Also it handles very well and the gas mileage is great. It is perfect for me.

Nice small suv
The 2014 captiva LTZ is a nicely appointed comfortable small suv that has a lovely classy look that makes makes it feel more expensive than it is. The exterior lines flow nicely the interior is comfortable for four adults. The cargo area is spacious and has a nice cargo restraint system. The front passenger seat also folds forward flat for even more space. The fully loaded options are to numerous to list here but include all the tech goodies you need from Bluetooth to nav and a ten speaker sound system with cd and Sirius Xm. The ride is firm not soft but make a solid impression and handles the road and curves nicely. Cons: trans does not shift well when totally depressing the gas ped

Love my Captiva!
I was looking for something of utilitarian value, yet that would have the comfort features (such as getting in and out of the vehicle, and noise suppression) of an ordinary car. I bought it based on the recommendations seen on this site as well as elsewhere. Most importantly, however, is that because the vehicle (really a Saturn Vue, renamed for fleet use), it was cared for by its previous owner, as companies depend on their vehicles more than the general consumer, and thus maintain them especially well. That, plus the GMC "Certified" ranking, for even more dealer support and reliability, took me over the edge. It was the best purchase I've made by far in many years. My previous was a Chevy Cobalt, also a previous fleet vehicle, with GMC certification, that gave me about 10 years of flawless performance. BUY FLEET, BUY CERTIFIED! It costs a little more, but you'll feel more confident and safer. PS" There's a convenient "eco" setting that enable you to improve your gas mileage. Just press one setting and you have it. I use it all the time and don't find any big difference between not using it and using it.

Love @ first fill up!!!
I bought this car about 6 months ago. We were downsizing,and no longer need the 3rd row seating. I am very impressed with this car. I tend to drive faster than necessary, and I will say you will feel like it takes forever when you first accelerate. But once you get into the freeway or open Rd it's great. I am coming from 8 cylinder vehicle with lots of power and room. This car has it all,minus what I said about takoff. I absolutely fell in love with it when I filled it up. Gas is about 2.14 in Utah right now. It took me 32 dollars when it was barely above the red line. It aid I had 451 miles to empty. I got so excited I texted everyone. I know pretty said but hey that was 2 thanks of gas for me. Also it has ran great, have not had a problem as someone above here had with alignment issues. I have not one complaint besides the takeover/acceleration. And I too had also never heard of this vehicle. Wish they had a newer model.

So far, so good!
I came across the Chevrolet Captiva while researching before shopping. I became interested in this vehicle because it seemed the valuation was good when compared to similarly sized vehicles, similar mileage, and similar age. These crossovers were built to go directly to a fleet, meaning they were sold to companies for rental, employees cars and the like. In my search, I found these Captivas were priced anywhere from $2,000 - $4,000 under other similar vehicles in my area. My goal was to find a safe, later model used vehicle that could hold my medical equipment and have easy in and out access for me. I wanted a 4wd to accommodate the winter weather. So far, I am happy with the purchase. My friends and family are impressed. No one has heard of the Captiva before LOL! Hopefully, this vehicle will fit the bill.

Endless problems and now blown motor
Have had endless electrical problems with it including if you use remote start it will pump window fluid in a constant stream. 90,000 miles engine blew, timing belt issues that are well known caused this… hate this thing and won’t buy GM again
Great Little SUV
This is a very good priced small SUV, with lots of options. Another year and still going strong

Piece of junk
You cannot get aftermarket parts for this vehicle. We have had issues with getting parts for the power steering, alternator and manifold. I bought this vehicle at Pinkerton Chevrolet in Salem VA and was not in formed that this vehicle was not in tended for sale to the public originally. I feel like I was cheated out of my trade in to begin with and now we have had the wheels aligned at least twice and it still wears out tires in a short period of time. We have bought tires at least 4 times in the 2 years we have had this piece of junk. I have been a Chevrolet/GM purchaser for most of my adult life. My next vehicle will be a Ford or Toyota. Guess I will just paint this one lemon yellow and advertise where I bought it to let people know how I feel. I also suspect it had been previously wrecked or at least had damage under the front of the vehicle due to rust that was discovered there and if so I was not told that at purchase.

My key is stuck
My key sticks, the car turns off electrical problems galore. This captiva must have been a lemon
Do not buy
Please do not buy this vehicle. They were made to be rentals, and you know how people drive rental cars. Poorly made. If this vehicle was not meticulously maintained, it will be nothing but a money pit! I've had nothing but one major problem after another with this vehicle since I purchased it. I've spent a good $8000 in repairs since the date of purchase. I service at another dealership from the one where I purchased it. (I bought it in CA and I live in NV). The Chevy dealership in my state told me that these cars are notorious for burning oil and it only gets worse as they age. Burning oil and multiple oil leaks non stop! Causes damage to other parts. Items I've had repaired/replaced: Water pump, timing cover seal, radiator, radiator fan, heater hoses, one front CV axle, throttle body, drive belt has been replaced 4 times due to being saturated with oil from various oil leaks, idler pulley, idle tentioner, battery replaced twice, catalytic converter, and I'm sure there is more that I can't think of right now. List of items that still need replacement: front and rear shocks, rack and pinion assembly, both front struts, front strut mounts, rear shocks, left and right front tie rod ends, right lower control arms, center rear brake light, hood struts. Tires wear unevenly even with frequent rotation. I get a bit of a discount on labor since I work at a dealership, but still ... no way I'm sinking more $$ into this car! Also, evertyhing rattles ... lots of rattling from the dashboard and vents ... horribly noisy. Not to mention when I got it, it needed 4 new tires, and I have to have oil changes often. It burns so much oil and it can easily go bone dry in between oil changes. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR, whatever you do! If the guys at the Chevy dealership say don't buy it because of the burning oil, and the guys at the dealership where I work say it's piece of junk, and the "guru" Scott Kilmer told me that my car is a "rolling piece of crap" just stay far far away!

Love this car.
Love my crossover!
Crossover makes it easier to get & out compared to suvs. It's been a great car, no major repairs.
Do not buy a Captiva
This car uses oil like crazy, which the dealers are aware of and fail to tell the customer. The oil light does not come on. I put at least 5 quarts of oil in between oil changes (every 3,000 miles) It has electrical issues. Especially if it's raining. I've had numerous front brake issues. Transmission issues. I bought this car for a reliable transportation to and from work. And it has totally failed me! I do not recommend this vehicle!!

too many issues
Owned since 2015, recently sold. Every year there were one or two major things that went wrong with it. The reliability just isn't there.
