HONDA CRV vs CAPTIVA

[clips]

---

get in the new crv ... the interior appears to be made out of cheap plastic,,the back seats are thin and sort of crampy.the engine looks like the old crv engine like nothings been changed.

captiva ,,,try the ride and see the hood compare to other cars . it got me convinced.
just my personal opinion.

no it hasnt got a daewoo engine!

Daewoo ISNT the same company it was before GM owned it. It is now a fully fledged member of the GM family, only the name “Daewoo” survives, all of the internal structures are different. The engineering and design departments are now run by former holden personel who have been transfered within the GM network to Daewoo to assist with the Daewoo assimilation into the GM family. The guy running the design department now is the same guy who designed the monaro and had a major hand in the VE commodore before moving to korea.

So who is Daewoo ? THEIR GM (GENERAL MOTORS)! The very exact same as Holden, Chevy, Cadillac, Vauxhall, Opel, Saab, Pontiac, etc. They are nothing more then a sub-unit of GM now, they bare no resembelance to the old daewoo

The captiva is exactly the same as any other GM product, it was built by GENERAL MOTORS, not daewoo, daewoo is just the name on the outside of the building. the only reason the other products holden imports from korea arent up to scratch, such as the barina, epica and viva, is because these designs are cars which where designed by the OLD daewoo before GM took it over, theres only so much you can do with a dud design. But the captiva is completely new and built by GM, just as the next generation barina, epica and viva will be, and all of those cars by the way will be built of opel platforms from europe, and they will be much much much better then the current offerings and WILL actually be up to scratch with the rest of the market

This isnt a car built by daewoo then sold to holden, this is a car built by GM and sold under different names in different countries.

Personally ive driven both cars, check the hood, kicked the tires and stuffs and i have to give it to the new captiva as the winner,, engine wise ,power and road handling and features! true GM quality.its almost as big as santa fe very spacious!
ride it test it and prove me wrong.

though 1 thing i can comment is if their spare parts readily available ?but then again there's alot of chevrolet outlets nowdays so maybe spare parts arent that hard to find.

WELL SAID.... IM also driving and GM truck and a Honda Accord (GMC SIERRA ) and personally dont like the CRV but like the PILOT instead....

ask lang ko?

* are u working with GM
*y is it that captiva is not available in US and CANADA while Santa Fe, sportage and CRV is availalbe in these country

the captiva is what is called a world car, a lot of models from car makers are not available in the U.S. I heard a couple of years ago that they were thinking of bringing in the Chevy Equinox but they decided on the Captiva i guess. Probably has to do something with the price and the fact that the Captiva comes with a diesel engine while the Equinox doesn't. .

No doubt, the captiva looks good in and out, my biggest concern would be the resale on it though. Like most american badged cars, they don't carry a good resale value. Also, did you notice that the gauges in the Captiva look like the gauges in the Optra?

Nope, im not connected with the company at all .

the CHEVROLET CAPTIVA is exclusive for the European market and of course asia .I heard its quite a big hit in Europe no doubt its taking the vehicle market by storm.

well for people that are skeptic.....
the best judge between the 2 cars is YOU......but dont look at it .... TRY it and test drive the 2 suv then decide for yourself .

VERY good advice. It you that is the deciding factor. If you go there and try it out, look for Jojie. She can help you out there.

Captiva runs on DIESEL. That's one thing you'd want to consider.
Yes, the ride is pretty smooth and quiet.

i grew up in Europe and still live in Europe.SUVs are never a hit in European market.kabawo ba ka bro pila ang per liter sa gas sa europe? its almost 2 euros per liter.so dont tell me hit ang Captiva sa Europe.seen few trailblazers here around the city but usually SMART cars or small cars ang hit diri like honda jazz,suzuki swift,etc coz less fuel consumption.hehehe funny lang kaayo youre talking about Captiva hitting the EUROPEAN MARKET by storm....its very odd!!!!!
