Hi All,

I am new here but am looking at possibly purchasing a Captiva in the next few weeks.

Idon'thave a huge budget but have managed to find a 2.4i LS with 15k on the clock for around 9k and just wondered if anyone here owned the petrol version and what they thought of it?

I am not going to do huge mileage in the car so the fuelconsumptionhopefully wont be a major issue.

Would be grateful for any feedback.

My main concern would be fuel consumption.... I know you say it is not yours, but you need to check your sums really carefully. Especially as you said you dont have a huge budget, I assume you dont have a budget to put £300+ a month in the tank.

Many thanks for the response K.L.Richards.

I am going to be doing on average around 35 miles per week but willdefinitelylook into the additional fuel costs.

At 35 miles a week have you considered a bike or a bus?

I work from home but have two kids under the age of 4 so bikes and bus really aren't an option.

I was hoping to receive some helpful feedback from anybody that has owned the petrol version of the vehicle if possible.
