Chevrolet Captiva Sport Fleece

[danetter]

We are in the process of looking for a new car. We have found a 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Fleece in our price range and would like to see if I can get some reviews.. I've never heard of the Captiva so don't know anything about them.

TIA

They are basically the Saturn vue. When Saturn was discontinued they rebranded it as the captiva. They are only available in the US as fleet vehicles or used. We have a Vue and like it and looked at the captiva but ended up buying a 2013 Malibu brand new for less $$$

It is the same car, however the auto magazines called the Vue a rebranded Captiva because, according to them, "a real Saturn doesn't have a metal body".

When we were in Orlando last month, my rental car was a captiva. Man, I felt like I was driving a go cart. I had to floor it a few times to get it to move. Im just used to my 5.7 liter engine at home

I had one as our rental last time were in Orlando and wasn't very impressed by it. I also felt as though I needed to floor it to get it to move and just didn't like the overall handling of the car.

I'm not sure I'd want to drive a car called a Fleece.

While my SUV was getting fixed, the dealership loaned me a 2012 Captiva. I didn't think it was so bad. Gas mileage was good (then again, I drive a suburban so any other car has good gas mileage to me! Lol!) and the ride was smooth. I didn't drive it on the highway, just around town, but had no exceleration issues. (Think I spelled that wrong..) Surprisingly roomy for such a little car.

Just realized that my auto-corrector changed the spelling of that. It's supposed to be FLEET not FLEECE. LOL.

Maybe for the best. I went to test drive and it is pending sale right now so still looking.
Thanks everyone.
