Great Car. No real competition

I have owned a Captiva since February 2008, possibly among the first owners in the country. There is no real competition when you are looking for a diesel 7 seater at this price range. I was a little concerned that it would be underpowered and that the ac may not be effective during the summers. However have found both these to be pretty decent . In all other respects this is truly a good car. Very spacious, lots of intersting add ons, latest electronics, luxurious interiors. I did miss not having a 4wd once when i got stuck in a mud pit. An automatic verion would also be niceGood rugged looks, great interiors, latest electronics, 7 seater dieselac controls badly placed, no 4wd
