  • Good used car

    Had been shopping for another brand but when I test drove this car I fell in love. It was quiet, smooth driving and riding. Price was right for me.

  • Problems with Windows and wheel rims

    For some reason all three of my Chevy Traverse have a problem with the left passenger windows front and back. I also have some type of problem with the rim on the tires.

  • Best car!

    Love my car, perfect for every day or traveling! The far back seat is a little small but is was larger than other models I tried. The only aggravating thing are the tire sensors, they come on quite often.

  • Great vehicle and great value

    I bought a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse 2LT AWD eight passenger to replace a 2011 Buick Enclave lost in a car accident. I could not find a Buick like I had, and a Traverse at this level was also hard to find. This car is optioned out better than the Buick. It runs like a tank and is great in snow. I live in MA and get a lot of snow. The market is full of Traverse's that middle America say want (99%). There all 1LT with nun of the options I need 8 passenger and power hatch. I would recommend these to anyone.

  • Love my Traverse

    This car has met all my needs. My sister hit a high line pole that came straight down the middle of her car. This car held up the top and saves her life. If this would have came down and crushed the top she wouldn’t be here today. Thank you Chevrolet .

    Love it and will be reluctant to sell it. In New England the remote starter is awesome. Use this car to tote the grandchildren around and to pick up grocery orders. It takes a beating.

  • Wish I would have waited and purchased a truck

    I am used to driving a truck so this is very different. The one thing I can say is it is easy to park. The seats are uncomfortable on a long ride. It has blind spots so you really have to be careful when changing lanes.

  • A great step up from equinox

    We needed a 3rd row with our growing family and going from the equinox to the traverse is just what we needed. Very roomy!! I love the power liftgate and the panoramic sunroof!
