We bought our Holden Captiva Ltz brand new in 2014. Its used everyday for the school drop offs and pickups and grocery trips. It fits the 3 car seats in the back easily and it’s been a nice enough car to drive. It’s always been serviced on time and has only got 57, 000km on the clock.
The downside is the fuel economy. We average around 19l-20l per 100km, we get around 300-320km to a 65l tank. I have thought about going for a smaller car to do the school run but the car has depreciated so much I can’t justify losing the money when we paid $40...Read more

I have now had my 2014 Holden Haptiva 5 LT for a bit over 2 years now. I have originally bought this vehicle as my knees were not doing well and im a 6 foot 7 bigger bloke so getting into a low car is a no go for me. I was suprised at the room it had for the driver. My head did not hit the ceiling and my knee did not hot the steering wheel like it did in vehickes like the mitsubishi ASX, Nissan X-trail and even the nissan patrol so needless to say I was happy to find a cat that finally fit and was cheap. By far it has been the best car to drive...Read more

I love my Captiva LX. The car has done 98,000kms and still drives great. Have driven few luxury cars before but I am in love with Captiva. Smooth to run and steering is fantastic. I like the way it accelerates from slow to very fast once it is going. Although can be expensive with fuel. Mine is using Petrol. This car is for people with lots of extra money. If you cant afford for the maintenance then do not buy. The only problems with Captiva is the diesel and manual ones. Mine is auto and is doing a great job plus the sunroof makes it luxurious...Read more

2010 Holden Captiva LX Diesel has been the worst car I have ever owned, never have I had to get into the car and wait for something to go wrong. The engine light was constantly on, engine overheating, oil leak on multiple occasions, air bag light fault. The aircon fan is useless in the heat and will not be realistic for families, no fans in the backseats or the rear seats. No car with 7 seats should not have vents in the back. The Diesel engine does not give you any more kms than a petrol car in the end it will just cost you more on fuel and it...Read more

Dealership service terrible the literally broken something on my car every single time I’d pick up my car turn around take it back once I didn’t even get out of drive way.

Transmission failed luckily only 2 years old so it was replaced.

Then car felt like it was going to stall all the time, felt like engine was shaking I even said is it loose car running rough, ...Read more

Bought brand new Diesel Holden Captiva in 20111 Always serviced as per log book. only 93000 km after 8 years, always used in the local city no rough use and transfer case cracked and cost me 2000 dollars for a used one as could not afford brand new. Complained to Holden Motors to hear that I need to produce 8 years worth of invoices for service. Mind you my log book is complete. Very rude and no responsibility. I am complaining in Fair trading as well. I am lucky my transfer case didn't die on the freeway as I was about to get on the freeway b...Read more

We bought a brand new Holden CRAP-tiva in 2012 - To date it has been back to the shop with multiple issues (mainly electrical) and now the transmission has crapped itself. Phoned up Holden going hello this is a regularly serviced car with you - Has 85k on the clock (for a diesel is still running the motor in)
Holden: We are sorry but you are no longer under warranty (We understand that BUT this car is regularly serviced with you and has continually been in your workshop with many issues in the past... Sorry but we can fix the car but that will...Read more

Bought brand new LEMON Captiva in June 2008. It was supposed to be the most luxury Captiva, paid $44,000 cash and traded Commodore Executive valued at $12,000, so all up $56,000. For that amount we thought that we will really get the top of the range as the salesperson promised,sunroof, side steps etc... however what we didn't know is he did not put that into detail in the contract and when we questioned it he simply said "BAD LUCK". What was worse was as soon as we drove the car out of the salon it did not show the right temperature outside, d...Read more
