Doug DeMuro gave the 2013 Chevrolet Caprice PPV a mixed 43/100 rating, finding it a quirky and surprisingly capable vehicle despite its utilitarian roots. The car excels in performance with its rumbly 6.0L V8 engine producing 355 horsepower and delivers exceptional value as an affordable, overlooked bargain that few people remember. However, the Caprice stumbles significantly in design and driving dynamics, featuring cheap plastic throughout, non-functional navigation buttons, plastic door handles, and notably poor steering with an inconsistent, non-linear feel. This vehicle appeals to enthusiasts seeking an interesting, affordable oddity with genuine performance potential rather than those prioritizing refinement or modern conveniences.
