Holden Captiva 2010: A reliable purchase?

My wife wants an SUV and has her eye on a Holden Captiva but I'm concerned because I've read mixed reviews. She was set on a Jeep Wrangler but after a test drive went right off them. I've suggested Hyundai but she can't get past the badge/look of the cars. She likes the Captiva's size and the seven seats are a winner what with ageing parents and being able to drive together.

I wouldn't recommend a Captiva. The quality is not great, neither is the driving or fuel economy, and the Holden warranty does not come close to Korean-badged cars. If she's against a "cheap Korean car" point out that the Captiva is actually a Daewoo, from Korea.
