Most reliable car I?ve ever had.

This car meets all our needs. It?s very reliable. It?s comfortable. It?s red and we love it. It?s our third one. You should make these surveys a little shorter

I am on my third one

We like this vehicle so much it is the third one we have purchased/leased. It has the most leg room of any vehicle I test drove. The traverse has the most leg room in the third row for vehicles in its class and the most room behind the third row. It has a smooth 9-speed transmission with many comforts at a fair price. Plus the new body style is a bonus this year!

Test drive the premier

I thought this was an amazing suv! It had a lot more room than I imagined. I loved the sunroof and moonroof. I love the fact that the middle row seats can be moved forward and backwards. I love the heated and cooled seats. There is quite a bit a room in the back to store things. This is a very nice vehicle and it is very affordable! It rides super smooth and has plenty of power! This is definitely a third row suv that I would recommend

Smooth ride, feels very safe, modern technology

We absolutely love the Traverse High Country. Feels and looks like a luxury car for a reasonable price. This car has the greatest up to date technology that we are still learning a week in. It?s a beautiful comfortable ride and seriously the best car we?ve owned.

Love my Traverse!

This vehicle is great. It suits our needs perfectly and our 2 dogs love the room too! Since I have back issues the passenger electric seat with adjustable lumbar support makes the ride even better.

Just leased my 3rd Traverse in a row,

The movement space in the z seven seater meets our needs with the car seats we use NOT TAKING AWAY FROM THE CAR ,a set of tie down in back row would help. Book says to use seat belts. This still gives too much side to side movement. wOULD BRING VECHICLE BACK TO DEALER IF THEY CAN ADD STABILITY TO BACK ROW. We currently have 4 FOSTER CHILDREN..AGES 2,3, AND two 5 YEAR OLDS

Impressive improvements.

I was very impressed with the upgrades and how the iPhone integration is seamless?even with two different drivers. Those of you with YouTube selections will let be how this gives you another option to play what you want if you don?t have an iPod but have selected YouTube playlists. I have the 4 WD Option and for those of you who came through the original blazer years, yes it is a separate option again. Something I felt they should have never changed. The lines are sleek and with the extra sensors for backup and blind spot control, it becomes an easier vehicle to maneuver?also as the window-scaping is larger, it is easier to see what?s happening around you. I didn?t go for the most expensive Traverse as I do not live in the car for long periods of time where those accoutrements would make a difference. The fuel saving changed where the vehicle turns off has not affected my driving. In fact this is more in keeping with the way I drive. The bucket seats in the second row is nice to have and taller people don?t have to wrap their legs around their necks to sit there. So that accounts for the lengthening of the vehicle?well done. Headroom is also very good and the slope of the hood makes seeing over better. There is now a sizable hidden compartment over the spare which is great. There is also a hidden spot behind the radio console instead of the one on top of the dash that?s suitable to put sunglasses in or your phone out of view. You still have a sizable glove compartment and the center console. The bucket seats are more defined and control of temperature for each side in the front is good. For those of you who are physically challenged, as am I, you will welcome how far back the front seat goes and how wide and effortless the driver and passenger, and second row seats are. My 2014 Traverse felt like handling a boat compared to this and as I mentioned above, the additional sensors and window scape makes it easier to view what is happening around you with less contortions. Headroom also is good and the auto seats move well. I did not request and did not get an adjustable steering wheel and I miss it. The LED lights are great?inside and outside. The backup camera has an LED!!! So much better. We did have a snow period and it handled well without going into 4WD. So those who don?t need 4WD because you stay home during snowstorms would save money by sticking with the 2WD.
