Kia Sorento light years ahead of this dinosaur.

Just don't do it - one of the worst SUVs on the market.

Consider a Kia Sportage, VW Tiguan, CX 5 or even a Peugeot 3008. They may all be a bit more expensive than the Captiva but are light years ahead in handling, features, longevity, resale value and enjoyment.

It isn't a bad vehicle, but it is basically a runout model of what is now an 11yo design. Get what you pay for stuff really.

Run out model is right. Run out into traffic screaming "why did I buy this piece if crap! "

Even most soccer mums have better taste.

All those sorts of vehicles, in between cars and proper bigger wagons fall into 'no man's land'.

Maybe they're fuel efficient and you seat a couple of midgets in the boot, but that's about it.

You are a bit generous saying it is only 11 years old. It has had a holden badge for 11 years but was a daewoo for a while before that. The thing is a dinosaur. Worse still it was not a good buy even in its younger days.

Nah it was a 2006 release regardless of badge. Not that it makes much difference in the scheme of things.

I can only think of Mitsubishis and some niche stuff like the LandCruiser 70 that have had a longer run

Yea thanks you may be correct.

Don't they buy CX5's.

db.price, Oct 15, 12:07am
If they are smart they do

craig04, Oct 15, 8:49pm
They buy CX9's. At least they have a purpose. CX5's are pointless. Only good for elderly who like sitting higher.

db.price, Oct 16, 6:36am
CX9 too big for us - we didn't need 7 seats.

A truly excellent vehicle for those who can't google, or use the search function on TM.
