You can get this vehicle with all the bells and whistles for a lot less than the snooty brands. I have full power, leather, moonroof, navigation and OnStar.
I am foremost a GM girl so owning a Chevy is great for me. I have had this vehicle for three years with no problems. It came with a bumper to bumper warranty and a two year maintenance package so no complaints here.

Chevrolet It's a bull. Discover why.
It has been one of the best vehicles makes I have ever tried. I has great fuel average consumption. Has a powerful engine. The equipment as originally came was trending 4 years ago and nowadays it's still being useful and not need to change it. I have had some problems trying to attach it a cargo zone because it's not designed for that row. The metal blue paint has been conserved with no fades. The electrical systems have never been a problem. I just need water oil and fuel for my vehicle.

Automatic transmission with manual option.
I love the 6 speed auto/ manual transmission where I can shift up or down manually if I so desire which saves on brake wear by using the engine to slow me down and not all breaks. I also like that everything in this car is identical to my old car, I like the gas mileage also.

Great little car. The sunroof is my favorite also the Sirius radio.
Very compact but really equipped. Love the stereo and sunroof. Gets good gas mileage. Easy to handle and smooth ride. I heard they quit making them which is crazy. . Love to drive it. Hope they will make it again. Bring back. I have plenty of cargo space to haul things.

The medium perfect size car.
I really love my car. I do not find a big problem of it, maybe it's just that it is not that big as a van but it is not that small as a little car so I do not know if that might be a problem for any. Also it's kind of not the new super electronic car so it does not have advanced stuff but still, it is just perfect for what I like.

Affordable SUV with luxuries to boot!
When I was looking for a replacement SUV, my main supplemental feature requirement, other than a good vehicle - was a moonroof. I found this used SUV on a website. Where it was listed at a dealer in another county. After searching several vehicles, I decided to go test drive this one. Wow! I was very impressed! Low mileage, low price, low interest and so much more than I have ever had in a vehicle. Who would have thought heated seats would be such a blessing! After a couple of years, I am quite used to my Captiva, and would not trade it for another! Not just because of the perks, like the moonroof, heated seats, multiple speakers, stereo system, air conditioning, etc. But because it runs so good! Decent mileage for this midsize SUV, economy fuel saving option, rides smooth, and it is a nice looking SUV, and unique with lights on the sides in front of the doors; I can tell my car from a distance amid a sea of similar SUVs.

The sunroof is the only nice feature. It is a nice add on.
It was going to a family starter car. We had a child a car seat does not fit comfortably in the back. The passenger front seat is all the way up because it will not fit accurately. I have had an engine light turn on. So I go to get it checked, Chevy says everything looks okay it just the computer wiring. The light stays on now. It is an ltz but the engine is a v6. It takes a while to gain speed.

Hogs gas not good in snow.
It was sold to us under misrepresentation. Is an SUV with no four wheel drive. Often needs repair. Is only three years old and have multiple breakdowns from parts that have gone bad.

Do not recommend investing in this vehicle
Can't control wheel when you hit a bump, awkward to drive on gravel and slides everywhere, not enough moving space, center console is not convenient to use while use cup holder, cruise control doesn't maintain the speed set at, breaks have a mind of their own and decide when and how much to work. Eco vehicle but doesn't save any more gas than other same sized car, windshield wipers smear their water
accountCircle Taylor C
Timing belt, transmission, alignment.
I haven't had any problems really out of my car, the cruise control does not work anymore but that is about it, the timing belt also goes out on every model of the car I have owned. The tires are really easy to find for a good deal. I have to get an alignment on it quite a bit. The transmutation has a leak and that seems like a reoccurring problem with the model.
accountCircle L N
Cute but costly when it comes to repairs
I have had to have a great deal of electrical repairs done along with the air conditioning. There isn't much space in the back seats for comfortable long distance driving and I have experienced 2 recalls on items. The driver's seat control panel on the side broke within 2 months of me having the vehicle.

It's a nice car, only has 4 cylinders and doesn't get that great of gas mileage
It's a nice family car, battery dies fast in it. Only had it for one year and the lights and battery went out.
accountCircle Tara G
Don't buy it because it has a lot if technical issues
It drives smooth and has enough room which is good. Sometimes it won't start due to a circuit issues which I've has fixed and still happens.

I love the Texas edition and how mine is pearl.
The only thing that I could complain about my vehicle would be the transmission. It likes to jerk sometimes. When it switches into gears it like to jerk real hard and it is not good. That's the only thing I could complain about. Chevy's overall are really good vehicles and would really recommend.
accountCircle Abby G on May 26, 2021
Is a good 4 door car and a good travel car.
The problems I have had with the car are my tires and having to always get new ones. I have had a couple nails in my car as well. Another thing is that I have had some leaks in my car as well when I had just gotten it so I have had some issues with the car but other than that it is been a good travel and roomie car.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sydney P.

The vehicle was affordable. I purchased mine for about 19,00 almost brand new. The car gets great gas mileage. I enjoy having plenty of space for hauling things. The car is basic, but it seems to have everything I would need.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sydney P.

The vehicle is pretty basic, so it does not have any of the 'bells and whistles' other vehicles may have. I would love a car with heated seats, a backup camera, and more comfortable seating. The car has had to have a few repairs already, but that is expected being 5 years old.

Is The 2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Fleet A Good Car?

Yes could get much better mpg. I have 22-24 mpg. There is great cargo space. There could be a light in glove compartment.
Marni V.
For the most part. It is a small luxury SUV but a decent amount of room inside. It has a good size trunk. It drives pretty smooth.

How Reliable Is The 2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Fleet?

No problems yet other than eco led burnt out. And due to low gas mileage may not work at all. Emergency brake is electronic. Charging ports only work when car is turned on.
Marni V.
I have had problems with a belt noise since I got it and the mechanics cannot figure it out. Also the electrical system goes crazy sometimes with the touchscreen radio.
Alberto A.

Is The 2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Fleet A Good Value?

I paid $15,000.00 and it had 15000 miles on it. Broke windshield and bad stereo/speakers. The value would increase dramatically if it got better gas mileage.
Marni V.
I think it’s normal price is around 20,000. I purchased mine for 15,000. It is worth it aside from my nose and touchscreen issues.
