Hi we bought our Captiva brand new Dec 2012. We thought it was a great car and always been a Holden fan. In one year we have had to leave it at the Holden car yard for a week with a big oil leak problem. Car was 6 months old when the transmitransmission blew another week at Holden, so glad it was in warranty as its a 7 grand job. Just got our 15,000 service and the front tyres are bold!!!! need replacing which i have a friend with exactly the same problem and these tyres arent cheap:-( Plus we said there is like a metal clanking noise which they found a loose bolt they didnt do the transmission properly. A friend had a 2006 captiva same problems with tyres now the belt chain thingy is going thats more than a couple of grand and another problem which was $1.500 problem the dealers told them how bad these craptivas are and they traded it for a ford. Just hoping this captiva is not going to be having problems in the future. Looking at some forums alot of people hate them:-(
sounds like a brand new EAFalcon I once had.....after a long battle with Ford and a court date booked they agreed to an exchange.....swapped it for a Maverick and paid a little extra
my family member works at Holden that is why we bought it got a good deal. never had a problem with any other Holden cars we have had. The Mazda does a nice car but was alot more expensive
