2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LT

The Captiva Sport is Chevrolet's compact SUV, a rebadged version of the Saturn Vue that slots below the Equinox in size and price. It's a comfortable, easygoing commuter with a smooth ride and predictable handling, though the steering feels a bit vague on center. The cabin is straightforward and roomy enough for four, with a decent cargo area behind the second row. Reliability is about average for its era, with some owners noting electrical gremlins and transmission quirks as they age. The LT adds a few extra convenience features over the base 2LS, but you give up the LTZ's larger wheels and upgraded audio. Its 2.4L I4 makes 180 horsepower and works with a six-speed automatic to move the Captiva Sport around town without fuss, though it can feel strained on steep grades.
