Hi folks,


Picked up my new (to me) '08 Captiva LTX (VCDi Manual) in tangotasticzest brown today. Already really impressed by the comfort, equipment, fab climate control- properly cold aircon!!- and great stereo. Doesn't half shift between 50 and 70 on the motorway too and now handles reasonably well after inflating the tyres to the correct pressures. Decent economy too given that I was pushing on- 33.8 mpg with theclimate on max cool and 75mph on the cruise (by the sat nav, speedo said 78-79). Realised that the trip computer is very pessimistic....



Looking forward to many happy motoring miles



Iain

Hi, I have managed to get 500+ miles on a tank when my auto has been driven like miss daisy in manual mode, but 33mpg (470 miles) is the norm.

Hi, i own a captiva 2008 model, 2WD gas. I had it serviced by my chevy dealer for change in spark plugs, motor gasket and damaged sideview mirror. And after driving a couple of miles from the service center my car burst into flame and completely consumed eventually in a few minutes. Must be careful with our service centers. check the pictures at my facebook account, Paul Adlai Quitiquit
