Owner
Had my 2012 Captiva for 4 months. It kept stalling out. Come to find out it had burnt through oil. There is a recall on the engine for the equinox and other models with the same engine however not enough complaints have been filed against GM for this model to also be added to the recall. Mine has 115,000 miles. In two months I went through over 10 quarts of oil! Was told a new engine is the only fix

Heated seats are awesome!
This vehicle has all of the available options. Love the heated seats but this one has had a transmission problem I hope does not happen again. Very expensive part to fix. Drives great in all types of weather conditions. Hope to replace with something similar soon.

2012 Chevy Captiva ltz pos.
Have had the vehicle 2 years. Already needed a new engine and transmission to no fault of my own. Dealership charged me an insane amount. Now am very upside down on my car. Dealership told me that this vehicle was a great vehicle but have had nothing but issues since buying it.

Sporty and comfy love my Captiva.
No problems at all. Handles great roomy interior sporty and good gas mileage. Quit making them in 2015 which is a bummer. Heated seats are great very reliable good in the Minnesota snowy winters. Great acceleration. Would definitively purchase again.

Overall performance of Chevy Captiva (the old Saturn VUE)
Overall my car hasn't given me many problems besides regular maintenance. So far I've only had to replace one battery, breaks a few times, and that is all. The only negative thing about this car is gas mileage.

The Captiva could use more power and a smoother ride.
It leaks oil, and doesn't have the power I am accustomed to.

It is a great SUV to have that will have enough room for your traveling needs as well as fit your family comfortably.
I love that it is an SUV that has plenty of room for my family for road trips. The truck area is large enough to fit all of our items as well as the spare tire and accessories. The gas mileage is okay, but could be better when driving on the highway. I dislike how you have to engage the parking brake and unengage it. I wish it also had a back up camera.

Great car for long distance travel.
We have had minimal problems with the car. It has excellent mpg. It is very comfortable for long distance drives. Only downside is not enough room for car seats. It works well in the snow. Plenty of room for luggage. Great sound system. I’d recommend this car to couples.

Dependable, durable and comfortable.
Very comfortable, smooth steering, good gas mileage, trunk is very spacious. In the three years I have owned the car I have only had one issue with the tls and that is it, I do regular maintenance on the car every 3000 miles. It is a very reliable durable car.

Chevy Captiva sport ltz 2012.
I have been driving this car since 2013 and love everything about it. The car is comfortable and has most of the features I want. Parts are somewhat difficult to find, but, if the repair shop listens and gets parts for a Saturn vue, they fit. I will drive it until it will not run anymore.

2012 Chevy Captiva, great car.

Comfy car, but is that enough?
I have ongoing issues with the engine light coming on. I also have to get my oil change quite frequently because of an oil leak. The car also has lighting issues. The radio will lose the backlight randomly, seemingly without reason. The dash also does this. It is a very comfortable car with a lot of space. Overall, it is decent. I wouldn't say I would recommend it per say, but I wouldn't tell someone not to get it.

Loving my awesome Chevy Captiva.
It's just really expensive to get oil changes in it. It's been a pretty good car all in all. Very roomie. Can fit 5 people comfortably. Drives awesome in snow. Haven't had any problems slipping. Huge back area to fit groceries. Seats also fold down if you need even more space for larger items.

It is a great value, love the mileage.
I love this vehicle. The only thing I don't like about it is the mileage before an oil change. It is not the 3000 mile or 3 month. I only get about 2 months, than I need an oil change or have to add oil. I have heard there is a recall but have never seen one.
accountCircle Daisy D on January 4, 2021
Great gas mileage for an SUV.
The Chevy Captiva is impressive for its size and price. The mileage is decent for a SUV (I get about 20 mpg in eco mode). Their eco mode is good, but it does make it change gears slower, so it may sound like it is struggling when accelerating, but it is not. The car comes with a Bluetooth phone mode so you can use your phone hands free. It also come with Sirius XM standard.

The car is really basic it is nothing to highlight.
The problem I have with my car is when it is summertime and I cut the air on it makes a really loud noise which is the converter but it is so expensive to fix so I will have to wait also the fan under the car makes a clicking noise the performance of the car is really good I haven’t had any under the hood problems as of yet the comfort of the car is also great just wish I had something bigger due to having three children the features of the car are really basic would like to have something more updated.

A nice vehicle but not as reliable as one might like.
Engine issues are common in this vehicle. Had to replace the engine entirely due to it burning through oil. It is a know. Issue with several gm models with ecoboost engines. It handles well and some of the features are great. Good visibility, few blind spots. Comfortable to drive. Good amount of trunk space but little legroom for rear passengers as with many small SUVs.

Chevy Captiva. A sturdy family car.

Very comfortable but burns oil quickly.
It is a good little SUV but it didn't have much power, takes a long time to reach highway speed and burns more oil than most other vehicles. It is very comfortable inside and feels like you are driving a sedan not an SUV so it is ready to maneuver. Overall a solid little vehicle just be aware of the oil levels, I check mine every month.

I love the fact that the SUV is big enough to hold my family of four.
I have had no serious problems since buying my car 3 years ago. We did have an issue in the beginning with the key getting stuck in the ignition. Luckily we found a quick fix on youtube and was able to fix it ourselves. The SUV is very spacious for my family of four and runs very smoothly.

Decent enough smaller SUV.
AWD, decent gas mileage around 20 mpg. It is comfortable. No third row though so it's nice size for a small family. Enough truck space and seats fold down. I recently had my power steering go out at 90,000 miles and had to have it all replaced. The sunroof is nice.

Chevy Captiva sport 2012 sizeable and comfortable.
My vehicle has the worst electrical problems of any that I have owned yet. It has evidently been wrecked before. The key also gets stuck in the ignition. And my air conditioner went out for no reason the other day. However, it is all variable being that the other features work great. It is really good on gas and has plenty of room on the inside for all kinds of stuff. Very comfortable to sit in and drive on long trips. If it wasn't wrecked by the previous owner it would be perfect.

SUV score. Get gas mileage, has power behind it.
Goes fast quickly, very reliable, great gas mileage, has an eco button which I find unnecessary. The only issue that is occurred is the dash screen stopped working just went black and costed $900 to fix it! Overall it is a great SUV for the cost and is a good size.
accountCircle Emma G on September 15, 2020
Really great vehicle but I wish there were more features.
This vehicle has been very reliable for me and my family. I drive it everyday to and from work and I have never had any problems with it. It is so much space in it and it is very comfortable. It does not have many unique features, just the basic stuff like cruise control and auto running lights. I do wish there was Bluetooth so I could connect my phone. You would think a 2012 would have this feature but it does not so I am stuck using an aux cord. Other than that it is a nice car. Pretty decent on gas also. I would recommend this car to someone who has a small family.

Chevy Captiva 2012: quick review.
It is a really great car for women. It is not too big and not too small. It is just enough and good for city driving. It is also great for long drive. It has a big trunk where you can put all your things and if it is not enough, back seats can be folded to make space for bigger stuff. My car has a high mileage so it has a few things that need to be taken care of like the transmission fluid and the radiation fluid. But overall performance is still great.

Why I am captivated by my Captiva!
The seating system in this vehicle is very roomy, yet it doesn't feel like a big SUV. Gas mileage and performance of vehicle are what I would expect based on make and age of vehicle. We bought this car in used condition, but it has performed well in the years since purchase.

Walked away safely after being rear-ended.
The 2012 Chevy Captiva has been a great vehicle for a first time driver. The larger side mirrors provide a greater area of view which eliminates the need to add a blind spot mirror. Being seated higher up is a nice bonus. After being rear-ended on the highway all four people in the vehicle walked away with no injuries. After seven years of driving, the transmission is starting to struggle through gear shifts.

Great small SUV for someone that does not need a SUV!
I bought this to get up higher off the road that the sedan I had been driving. I love that I can see around obstacles now. But it is not too big either.

Would not buy another Captiva.
V6 that acts like a 4 cyl. Have had. Sensors go bad one was power steering the other was never explained to me by dealership service dept (Edwards). Wheel bearing replacement, alternator replaced, headlight bulbs that are not a do it yourself job replaced. Has cost me plenty and I am not hard on a vehicle. Comfort is a 6 on a scale of 1-10. Seats could be wider, drives ok. All in all I would give it a 7 all around.

I drive my 2012 Chevy captiva a minimum of 50 miles per day as I commute to work and/or run errands around town. It is reliable and comfortable and very easy to drive. It is easy to park and has great visibility through all sides of the vehicle. I live out of town a bit and have 2 miles of gravel road and driveway up a hill in order to get home. This car handles all of the ruts and potholes brilliantly. It is roomy enough to hall bags of feed from the farm store and still stylish enough to drive to a restaurant downtown. I love the Bluetooth capability and the way all the seats fold down so that I can use the full length of the interior of my car to haul treasures I find when I go antiquing. Another feature I really like are the sound system/Bluetooth controls that are on the steering wheel.

Very spacious, nice white color, rear windows are tinted.
It is a good little SUV, so far I have had mine for about a month now and no problems mechanically what so ever, the only downside I see is the fuel economy, it's not good but not bad enough to feel like I made a mistake purchasing it, all in all I enjoy it!

Very Reliable car that is good for driving back and forth to work.
This has been a very reliable car. I have over a 140000 miles on it and I have not spent much other than routine maintenance on it. The biggest beef I have with this car is that it is underpowered. Though I will say it has been a good buy.

Problems with Chevy Captiva.
Had severe electrical problems in the first year. Air conditioner quit working. Hoses had leaks cost $618 to fix. I called Chevrolet about electrical problems and they took care of towing and fixing problems my cost was $50.00. Passenger door doesn't work.

It is economical. It is small yet big enough to have several passengers and still be comfortable.
I love it because it is small yet big enough to accommodate me. I like that it rides higher than sedans and is easier to get in and out of. I like the back because it is easier to get groceries and other items in and out of.

Chevrolet Captiva review.
I have never had any problems with this vehicle. It runs great if you keep up with all of the mountains. I just wish it was a little more spacious. I would absolutely recommend this vehicle, just not to a large family. Does the job and gets you from place to place.

It's a sleek, modern vehicle for this current generation.
The Chevy Captiva is a wonderful, smooth-riding SUV; with an affordable price tag to boot. It has all the modern technological feature our current generation so desperately chalmers for. Only two complaints I could honestly give are one, the back seat could use a tad bit more room and two, if not weighted down, your luggage will slide around in the trunk.

Chevy Captiva sport review.
This car is awesome for being a 2012, though it does tend to have a lot of problems. I have had to take it into the shop multiple times per year that I have owned it. I have also had to replace the engine. On the plus side the car is very spacious and has great amenities.

A very reliable vehicle and good on gas.
It is good on gas. We really haven't had any mechanical problems with it. Sometimes it's a little small for the three of us when we take trips. It handles well. Seems to handle well on highway at 80 mph. Air and heat do not take long to cool or heat car.

The vehicle is very comfortable since we use it for all of our travels.
I have had to have my engine replaced last year. Plus some minor repairs also. I had extended warranty but it paid very little. The dealership never figured out why I burnt oil with no display. I just had my windshield washer motor replaced also. I also had problems with my seat controls.

Engine trouble but good car.
The check engine light is on continuously and I do not know why. The engine problems started at 100,000 miles. I like the look and ride of the car. There is lots of storage space in the back which is very convenient. This car has lasted me a few years and hopefully will continue to be in use.
