Buying the 2012 Chevrolet Captiva
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 Chevrolet Captiva for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2012 Chevrolet Captiva for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Before you sign for the Captiva
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 65 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, engine and electronic stability control (esc). A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
What the specs mean
Power comes from the 2.4L 4-cylinder, driving through a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 10.2 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 31 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $15.81, and a 300 km weekend about $47.43. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the Captiva makes sense
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Space, size and seats
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Drive the Captiva on your commute before you commit to it. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Still deciding?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Chevrolet Captiva from us first.
