Still getting used to auto stop/start

This vehicle is the perfect size inside and out. 7 seats with plenty of leg room. Easy access to 3rd row through center of bucket middle row seating. Large cargo, with additional storage compartment. 3rd row challenge to lay flat when middle row seats are all the way back. Driver needs a place for a purse. Gold stitching on jet black interior is not attractive (in my opinion). Jet black/dark galvanized interior is very nice. Exterior is very attractive. Wish auto stop/start could be turned off. It will take a while to get used to this feature. This feature is also inconsistent. Rear camera display defect on first day of ownership. 6 days from purchase to diagnose, receive part and replace. Overall, very nice to drive. Engine a little on the loud side. Drives great on the highway. Good acceleration in comparison to my 2010 GMC Acadia.

Most comfortable cars I've driven.

Love the dash lighting and built in phone charger. All around mirror and cameras really helpful. Love the trunk space hidden in rear area.

A Pleasure to Drive

This car comes as close to my perfect car as I have ever had. There are some minor complaints I have. (1) The overall size and styling of the car is tops, but the view through the rear window is obstructed due to a short height and small surface area. (2) No HD Radio. (3) Windshield wipers are not rain sensing, only fixed intermittent selections. (4) Navigation system lacks any features beyond the very basic. My last car provided the posted speed limit, "bread crumb" trail showing roads traversed, and a high resolution map. I will be using Google Maps and skip the built-in mapping. (5) Engine noise from shifting up through low and mid gears sounds a bit excessive as it revs up RPM's on acceleration. Also, backing out of my driveway up a hill sounds so loud it's like a Harley engine that alerts drivers that I'm coming through. I'm not disappointed. Those are improvements that should be made, but it is still the best car I've ever owned. Maybe the best I've ever driven. I've only driven about 200 miles, so I hope my satisfaction is not diminished over time.

Great Car Choice

I am happy that we decided on the Chevy Traverse.. the 2018 has a new style which I like..It drives like a small car but how a lot behind it.. Gets better gas mileage that the sticker said..

A good family vehicle

It has met our needs. Love the 3rd row for when my kids have friends. Has plenty of room when the 3rd row is down.

Gone Back to a Chevy Traverse

Wanted to get back into a Chevy Traverse. Has plenty of legroom and overall room through the interior. Like the new style. Only thing we didn't like is that they no longer put a CD player in any of the models. All the new technology, including WiFi is fine for people that want or need it. Just not really for us and missing the CD player. Very pleasantly surprised as well with the gas mileage. Have had it for just over 3 weeks and averaging 21 mpg's driving around town.

Just got this-love all the bells and whistles!

The 2018 High Country Traverse meets all my needs. I wanted something smaller than the suburban I've been used to driving - and the Tahoe just seemed too big also. The new styling of the Traverse is sporty with lots of head room and storage space and I can still transport 7 of us with plenty of leg room!

Nicest car I've ever owned.

Amazing, stylish, technological, and reliable. This is the nicest, smoothest, and sharpest looking car I've ever owned.
