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 … drive. I highly recommend the Chevrolet Captiva. I now have 99,402miles. Great repair record. Simple up keep. Has been a very dependable car.
I now have 89,596 miles on this Captiva. It still runs quiet and smooth. I have had no major repairs and the little Chevy still has no squeaks or rattles. I rotate the tires every 5,000 miles and these tires have 49,600 miles on them and still look good. The paint still sparkles and the seats show no wear. I am still getting 30mpg on the highway and 23.5 combined. I am totally pleased with my Chevrolet Captiva. I only run full synthetics in my engine, transmission, power steering and brake fluids. Keep my tires inflated to 35lbs. I keep my Captiva immaculate inside and out including the engine bay which looks new. Good upkeep on a car will reward you years of dependable service.
SUV Surprise from Chevrolet

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. My wife actually picked it out after driving a few of them. It has most options that I need and is missing a few I would like. It has very comfortable quality front bucket seats. Those seats are quite good … on long day trips which is not the norm for other vehicles in that class. It has fold down rear seats (flat) which I like a lot when hauling things. It has an ECO mode for the transmission which helps with fuel economy or if you want more power, it can be disengaged with a touch of a button. It has a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine with a 6 speed automatic transmission. It shifts smoothly. I like the vehicle height for entry and visibility. It is a quiet vehicle. I have a few things that can be slightly annoying however - the power point is inside the console, so it needs to be left open to charge your device - my wife's. If in the back, there is one on the back of the floor console. Overall this has been a great SUV for us. My wife and I both enjoy driving and owning it.
UPDATE - 03-2019 - My review hasn't changed much. We did have a small issue with an intake solenoid while my wife was traveling with this SUV. It was repaired at the dealer and she was back on the road with it. It still is a great vehicle for those who want a nice SUV.
Car didn't last me as long as expected

2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LTZ Fleet 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
I bought my 2013 Captiva in December 2014 from Hertz and the car drove well and looks good on the inside. Never could get the car to pair with my iphone and the acceleration is a bit slow. 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 … failed and cost more to repair then what I could actually sale if for. It happened at the worst time. I was very disappointed with the longevity of the car. Do not buy if over 100k mileage.
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.
