Most comfortable and roomy car I've owned.

I really like my traverse, it's roomy and comfortable. Plenty room for the car seats and kids. Only thing I don't like is there's always something that need servicing and when your warranty is over that's not good.

Love my traverse

The traverse has plenty of room. We have taken the car on several trips and I am always comfortable no matter where I sit, from driving to even the back when my wife drives. What an awesome vehicle! I wish the back tailgate opened and closed with power assist.

Traverse is perfect for multiple uses

The Traverse feels like it was custom made for me! It is so comfortable and smooth riding, that I use the cruise control whenever possible to be sure I don't exceed the speed limit! The seats are easy to lay down so I can easily fit in the groceries and carry large loads with my volunteering, and quickly put the seats back up when I have a group to transport. Absolutely love the trunk opening with a push-button . The Traverse is great on mileage, requiring infrequent stops on long trips.

Awsome car for a family

Wouldn't trade this car for anything. I enjoy this car traveling back and forth to work and plenty of room when extended family come to visit. Enoufh room for all our stuff when we travel and still provide room for us to be comfortable.

Downsizing to one vehicle is hard.

It seems to have as much capacity to haul 'stuff'. Like the car starter, and heated seats. Definitely an upgrade from the previous vehicles we had.

Horrible GPS, poor panel layout

Why couldn't GM use a great existing GPS instead the nearly useless one they use. We do better with the one on our Iphone for navigation and just use the GM one just for the map, which isn't too great. It is located on the panel below the AC, and should have the position reversed.

Roomier than Highlander prettier than Pilot

Roomy, comfortable, great seating position. Good gas mileage for the size, and powerful V6, and remote start is awesome. Even FWD is great in snow and swallows a lot of cargo. Interior is mostly black, but the satin chrome accents are back lit at night- coolest feature in car interiors today. Lots of bins and power ports too.

Love the Traverse, even with some problems.

My second Traverse! Owned a 2010 purchased new and loved it, but it was time to trade. Purchased a new 2016 - even same color! Unfortunately, at 600 miles the transmission failed and had to be completely replaced.I hope this new Traverse with the replaced transmission fulfills my expectations of owning another vehicle I can love, love, love for the next few years.

outstanding

this more than met our needs for a car. It is roomy and comfortable. The outside look of vehicle is great. We couldn't be happier.
