Great car for families.

Good bang for the buck

This car provides al the bells and whistles being the LTZ trim level and still satisfies other wants and needs. Best crossover vehicle for the price!

Price is affordable for a mid size suv.

Large and roomy yet still sporty and not bulky like full size SUV. Love the mpg and smooth ride. Price is affordable for a used traverse.

Best purchase I?ve ever made!

I am in love with my traverse! The only downside is I need new tires but that was totally fine with me because every other thing about this SUV is amazing.

Not enough space

I was very surprised by the lack of space and headroom in the Traverse. The styling was nice and handling was good, but too pricey for the lack of room.

Best car I have ever owned

This car was perfect for when I had my second baby. I mainly chose it because of the above the head a/c vents for the baby that was in a rear facing car seat. I loved the third row extra space. I could fit a double stroller and a wheelchair together. I have never had one maintenance problem with it and have loved seeing my two boys grow in it

Beware of break & traction controll

I love my Traverse, unfortunately I am having issues with the traction control acting up causing issues while I drive. Also the breaks are grinding and not catching, the dealership claims there is nothing wrong. I've done some research to find this is very common with this model.

It didn't come close to matching the Buick Enclave

At one point I wanted to buy the Traverse because I prefer Chevy over other brands. However, after the test drive I was convinced that the Traverse could not measure up to the Buick Enclave (which I ended up purchasing a few months later from Kunes).

Wonderful Car!

Loved the color and wheels. Handles great, and rides very smoothly, and loved it on a long trip. Interior very nice with a lot of room in back, with even heat and air in the back. Feel like I am driving in luxury and very comfortable car.
