"Being a 6' tall woman who wears 5" heels every day makes it difficult to find a car with enough room to accomodate comfortably. I found that the Traverse is extremely comfortable and I don't even have to put the seat all the way back making it great for any passenger sitting behind me - thought this would have been unheard of! I love my Traverse - it's huge inside, has everything my family needs. I opted for just the basics, which are def an upgrade from my 2003 PT GT in some ways, but i do miss the leather and sunroof the most. I know those out there that can afford the LTZ are loving life!!"

"I love the way the Traverse drives and handlles. I purchased the front wheel drive 2013. It drives amazing in the snow. The technology is easy to understand and isn't distracting like in some other vehicles. The ride is very smooth and quiet. I have 3 children and often have 4 in the car. One of my children is very tall and she insists on sitting in the way back. Everyone fits comfortably. I was able to downsize from a mini van. Love the amount of room the Traverse offers. My only complaint is the "My Link" Radio system has some kinks because of cell phone compatibility. I have had to have that repaired once and it has malfunctioned again. Turns out I need to upgrade my cell phone so this doesn't keep happening. I would highly recommend this vehicle to others."

"My husband and I visited Jeff Belzer's Dealership in Lakeville, MN to look at the 2013 Chevy Traverse. We intended not to purchase a vehicle and to only look, but after dealing with two great sales people, Joe Weed and George Miller, we drove a 2013 Chevy Traverse off the lot that day. Based on the excellent customer service, knowledgeable sales people, quick service, and friendly and happy environment, both my husband and I left feeling like we made the smart decision by giving our business to this dealership."

"when I saw the 2013 chevey traverse I thought it looked great.. I have had it over 60 days . I hate it. It is a stiff hard ride. I only test drove it a few miles but now that I have it I want my money back. It was a big mistake trading in tahoe for a down payment on it. the drive comfort is terriable. you can feel every crack in the road plus every bump this the most uncofortable car i have ever owned.The seats are stiff and hard as so is the suspension causeing back pain.dont have the widow carcked if you have snow on the roof or its raining water pours in. I would not advise anyone to buy one.. Traverse is not worth the money. not the way they are made. I want to talk to the president of Chevy how can they sell this terriable lack of comfort for that kind of money . its only worth half of what the price is I want my money back. dont buy one."

"I was surprised how many Traveris there are at reduced prices. I would have shopped around more to get leather and electric passenger seat. There is wind noise we don't care for. We wanted it for the all wheel drive because of the Mn. winters. We will try it out this weekend."

"We have a Traverse LT2, , loaded with almost every option. I sit in the passenger seat, and my husband does the driving. The comfort of the seats and the ride are awesome. I don't even feel like I'm in a car. If I didn't see the scenery going by, I'd think I was sitting in my living room chair. My husband drives a LOT, and he says this car practically drives itself. It's got a lot of power, and it has every luxury feature that any car twice its price would have. This is our second Traverse (we recently lost our first one in the hurricane), and I can't see us buying anything else, ever, after driving this car. It's super-roomy in the cargo area, as well as the seating area, and it appears to handle bad weather conditions very well. It was one of the very few cars that managed to stay on the road during the incredible blizzard we had a couple of years ago--everyone else on the highway got stuck. My husband nicknamed our first Traverse 'Champ' after that winter storm, because it got us home when everyone else was stuck in high snow. I'm not terribly fond of sitting in cars, but I have to say, I actually look forward to taking long rides in this one. The Traverse is a winner, in my book!!"

"We love our Traverse, great ride, reasonable mileage (18 in town) and plenty of room! Of all we test drove (4), this vehicle had the easiest access to back seats, with the greatest location of controls. The exterior is very stylish and well constructed. Tires are of high quality, something missing on previous new vehicles we have purchased."
