  Really like it! - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By The Dan - December 4 - 10:25 pm

  The Traverse rides great. It is quiet, sure footed, accelerates acceptably, and has very good fit and finish. I would highly recommend the Traverse to anyone. I have two complaints. It doesnt always know what gear it wants to be in and will sometimes have a bit of an acceleration lag when you have slowed down but then press the gas (like when the light changes from red to green). I will press the gas, then press the gas some more until it figures out what gear needs to be in and will then accelerate excessively. The other complaint is that it is surprisingly large and takes some getting use to.

  Im glad its not a mini van - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Pat Flores - November 18 - 7:43 pm

  Wonderful family car for Grandparent, parents, teens & kids. Sporty and classy with dual sunroofs. I cant wait to go camping. Great for shopping, hauls a great deal of stuff. So far, I love it. I do miss my 02 Yukon but I still need to see what this car can do for me.

  Great car - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Frank - November 13 - 5:55 am

  We bought this car to replace my wifes car, Honda Odyssey. After having this car for about 3 months we are really impressed. This is a well designed, comfortable car that we both enjoy driving very much. My wife likes it so much that she doesnt want to use it as our primary kid hauler, but as her car. Now well have to buy another car for the kids. Chevy did a nice job on this car.

  Impressed former import owner - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By GFI - November 11 - 2:22 pm

  I purchased vehicle after more than 20 years of Toyotas and Hondas. I am well pleased with quality of design and with build quality. I have had four months of trouble free ownership and continue to be impressed by roominess, comfort, performance, and ride of vehicle. I was somewhat skeptical of domestic products, but am totally won over.

  Same Old GM----Different Wrapper - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By uptown48009 - November 5 - 6:37 am

  We bought this vehicle new. While demoing the middle captains chairs, the seat cover ripped. Took vehicle back for service and GM required them to restitch the seat....look like h... Called the dealer and they had to fight to get us a new seat cover..waited 3 weeks for callback only to find out the cover is on back order...tells you how many are ripping (poor design and build quality)...middle row flip seats are not as user friendly as depicted...had stain protection applied to fabric...got stains on seat...dealer could not get stain out...supposed to receive new seat cover....still fighting on that yet it is a selling point to the protection....SAME OLD GM>>>STAY AWAY

  LOVE MY TRAVERSE - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By christine - October 31 - 12:32 pm

  We bought our LT1 Traverse in June and we love it !! I like the way it handles and it looks great.We have a sun and moon roof I have never had one before and I am enjoying them (so are my teenaged boys )I agree with one of the other reviews about when turning right it is very hard to see if anything is coming ,and the head rests are awkward .I am hoping it handles good in the snow as we get alot of it .There is so much room in them ,we packed all my sons stuff for college in it with putting down one of the 2nd row seats.There is enough room for my 510 and 61 tall boys in the back seat.I would recommend this car . I think next time we would like to upgrade to the LTZ with more features

  Like my LTZ So Far - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By andylibby - October 28 - 8:53 pm

  I came close to buying the Buick Enclave but got the Traverse for three reasons: (1) Price, the Buick would have cost $3 to $4m more similarly equipped, (2) I got a huge rebate for buying the 09, and (3) I dont like fake wood trim and the Buick is full of it. I liked everything about the Buick better except for the fake wood and the extra $$$, but the Traverse LTZ is an awesome car with all the goodies and Im enjoying it a great deal.

  Love my car - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By traverseowner - October 28 - 3:45 pm

  We purchased our Traverse to replace a 4-Runner. We love this car. The ride is very smooth. On two different road trips we have averaged 22 mpg. There is plenty of space for everything and everyone.

  5000 mile review - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Upstate NY - October 15 - 8:09 am

  Weve had the Traverse about 5 months now and 5000 miles. No problems to date (hasnt been back to the dealer) and both my wife and I really like the car. I see a lot of posts about poor mileage but we have consistently got 20 to 22 mpg in mixed suburban driving which in my estimation is great for such a large car. My only regret is that I did not buy an LT2 or LTZ package to get some of he features like backup camera, power folding mirrors, temperature controlled climate controls, and upgraded radio. People who ride in the car are surprized how quiet it is especially the engine (hard to tell its running). I dont think Chevy has gotten the credit it deserves for this engine.

  Not too bad - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Yosef Spinoza - October 14 - 10:40 pm

  When driving my Traverse LTZ from home to the baseball field, low milage, slow acceleration, slow downshift, poor rear window visibility are very disappointing BUT when the 6 passenger seats are full with my kids, their friends and their sport gadgets, the cargo area is loaded with their NY Yankees jackets, coolers, one bike, bats, gloves and balls and cup holders are all booked then I realize that I did not make a mistake. Driving back home turns into a joyful experience. I appreciate the stability, smooth and comfortable ride, nice interior design, amenities the vehicle has to offer, room and the feeling of driving a safe vehicle for my family (and their friends).
