TTAC Rewind: 2014 Chevrolet Captiva LT 2.4
This afternoon's TTAC Rewind is meta, in a sense. Author Jack Baruth notes that TTAC traffic numbers sometimes show that years-old reviews are doing well -- because people are searching for a particular model as a used car.
I see that, too. It makes sense that as people search for pre-owned vehicles, they'll find our old reviews.
That's not why we do this feature -- we're just doing it for fun, mostly -- but of course, we are bringing forth old reviews.
Jack also points out that the car in question here, a 2014 Chevrolet Captiva, which was a fleet-only vehicle, was expected to be a major part of the used-car market as all those rentals came out of duty. I am not sure if that actually happened -- and if it did, the moment would've passed several years ago -- but I can tell you that I always find it fascinating to track the histories of fleet-only vehicles.
Take a trip back in time to nearly a decade ago and see how Jack found the Captiva to be after over 800 miles behind the wheel.

Writers who imagine that they are journalists, apparently.
Throwing in the occasional unnecessary four-letter word adds some oh-so-essential street cred as well.
Garbage. There was a time not too long ago where you could by a Buick Chevrolet with a different grill this size. Hideous troll of a vehicle. Like a clown car.
Ah, the Craptiva. I think a ton of these ended up on CarMax lots.
Avis and Hertz were the major recipients of the fleet only Captiva. Not surprising as they and their subsisiaries represent 95% of the market.
One of the accountants at my work has a white Captiva. She could care less about make and model of her vehicle as long as it is reliable. Go figure!
