I owned an Escape and it was crap. Like my Territory, clunks and rattles all over the place. $43k worth of crap in fact (XLT LTD).

I reckon the Captiva will do ok, but I wouldn't trade my T in on one.

Exactly, most people bag out korean built cars but the territory has to be one of the poorest built cars out there. Great concept and well designed on paper but poorly built and engineered. The captiva looks good from most angles but the rear is crap. It will sell though and with more features than a territory i believe will out sell it fairly easily.

What's your scientific evidence for that? After 2 trouble-free years our Territory is shaping up to be one of the best built vehicles I've had and certainly better than our previous two Holden products (one local, one imported - the imported one was the worst). Several neighbours with Territories have also had no problems.

Question is considering alot of Territory buyers are not your tipical 'Ford Loving' folk, will they care that the Captiva is Korean? Holden will push that the motor was built right here in Australia.

Looks good. I just seen a turbo Territory and the kid in it was giving it some stick. Changing lanes fast and belting it off the lights lifting the front up a good 5" sound great he even dragged a Y series HSV.

Holden designed the Cruze not many knew that.

I don't think it's that bad it's a good car i really liked driving it, Yes there was some niggles but differently not crap, Some little vibrations here and there but ran like a dream over 1500km.

Well, mine, like a lot of others here (obviously) have built-in fore and aft rattles all over the shop. And clunks and squeaks.

If these didn't exist then perhaps I might have actually FELT like I was driving a new car.

However, I love the Territory. It suits my business and family needs perfectly. But it is not well made by any shake of the stick. Not for this day and age.

Perfectly practical? Yes!

Looks great? Absolutely!

Well built with a quality feel? Not a chance.
