It’s a captiva... don’t mod it just maintenance it. I’d do all fluid flushes, maybe add a tranny cooler, nice stereo, carbon or ceramic window tint, good tires and just maintenance.
2014 Chevrolet Captiva LTZ Questions
Hi guys, I just picked up a 2014 Chevrolet Captiva LTZ with 82,000 miles as a grocery getter, I still have the Cruze so don't worry lol. I had a couple questions since I tried searching a Captiva forum but the ones that are operating are dead.... No activity. Makes me appreciate this forum and it's members a little bit more
I learned that this version of the Captiva is an exact copy of the Saturn Vue model so in terms of parts, those would be available as well
My questions would be....
What are the 1st few things yall do maintenance wise and cosmetic wise when y'all purchase a vehicle?
How do I begin looking for parts with no active community, like tunes or strut bars, etc.....

Larger anti roll bars, stiffer springs can help but will also impact ride quality. Honestly first do maintenance, shocks and struts could be worn, sway bar bushings worn. It has 82k on it, I’m sure the suspension could use an overhaul.
To be fair to the car, any vehicle with 80k on the suspension will have a good deal of body roll. At 80k those shocks are doing next to nothing slowing the springs action. Body roll isn’t bad if it’s a linear and controlled roll, bad shocks will let it jiggle like jelloThank you for this information, I really appreciate it. My Captiva looks exactly like the gray one you posted. They are good short distance commuters
My only complaint on the Captiva so far is the cornering/steering
the turn radius is not sharp enough and it has a very heavy body roll effect on corners/turns
