Should I bother with a 2008 Chevrolet Captiva?

Hi. I'm looking at buying a 2008 Chevrolet Captiva 2.4 LS. Just looking for your opinion on this SUV. Are they an ok car or should I stay away? Thanks!

Hi Noel,

'OK' just about sums it up. The Captiva was never up to much to be honest - it's spacious and rugged and that's about where it begins and ends. Acceptable to drive, plain grey cabin and that 2.4 petrol engine will prove ridiculously thirsty.
