  Reliable. Period - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By loveblues234 - September 8 - 8:17 am

  I bought this car in 2011 as a 2009 model. Had higher miles in it for the year but that seldomly bothers me considering my driving needs. Terrific car! Have had to fix one thing since 2011 and that was a minor repair. (Actuator ... Controls hot and cold air) Havent had to jump it, tow it, fix it, absolutely nothing! No joke either! Ridiculously happy with this car! When I need my next, Ill buy another one, wouldnt think twice about it.

  Does Not Disappoint! - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By ilovemytruck - August 31 - 5:01 pm

  Bought my SUV "used" in June 2010. It only had 9k miles at the time. Ive had to bring the truck in twice to have the chrome stripping on driver & passenger sides replaced due to peeling. Other than that, the vehicle drives perfect! Nothing wrong mechanically and the interior/exterior of the vehicle is absolutely wonderful. I can fit 7 people comfortably, including my parents (who are in their 70s) plus, trunk space is still sufficient. Its like a mini- van without the "mini-van" cliche. For those worried about the gas mileage, its a gas guzzler. But, what else would you expect? Its an oversize SUV -)

  Not Disappointed - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By ilovemytruck - August 30 - 3:40 pm

  I looked and test drove all types of cars, trucks and suvs before finally purchasing the 2009 Traverse LTZ. Yes, I bought it used (9k miles at the time of purchase). The vehicle drives like champ and Ive had no problems mechanically. Ive had to bring it into the dealership to replace to chrome trim on both drive/passenger sides because it was peeling off, but all is fixed. The cargo room for back seat passengers is enough that even my parents were comfortable (and theyre 70). In regards to gas mileage, ITS AN SUV a big one at that, so its to be expected that it isnt going to get great gas mileage. I dont speed, maybe 73 in a 70 zone, and average 22 mpg.

  Great vehicle - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By hawkeye - July 29 - 9:45 pm

  I have over 21,000 miles and love the vehicle. It has great power. Ive had a transmission flash which improved what I considered good shifting, already.(people complaining of "slipping or harsh shifts" should get it) The interstate mpg is 22 at a steady 76 mph-back highways at 60mph is up to 24 mpg-around town is in the 14 mpg range.

  1 year and quite happy - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Gfi - July 7 - 10:41 pm

  With about 13,000 miles, have not been back to dealer except for oil changes. Still very tight with no rattles. The car is very comfortable around town and on the highway. I get 24.7 on road at 72 mph. Around town, I get 20-21. Not bad for a comfortable, roomy, safe vehicle. I remain happy with this domestic car after more than 20 years of Hondas and Toyotas.

  Whinning noise - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By mmrando8 - February 25 - 3:15 pm

  2nd trip back to dealer for whining noise under the hood. Purged the power steering lines the first time didnt work. Took it back today and they have now replaced the steering rack. Seems there are some problems. Also had whining noise coming from steering column but after reading another blog, Im guessing that noise will be gone as well. Going to get it now. Will let you know more tomorrow. Absolutely love this car though. Super fun to drive, roomy on the inside.

  A great comeback..... - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Chevy Lover - January 30 - 10:04 am

  Well I was raised on Chevys and for many reasons, fell away from them in the late Seventies. GM finally saw the light and has produced some fine vehicles that compare and surpass in ways the Japanese vehicles. The Traverse is one such vehicle. The smooth quiet ride, the agile handling, the options to please. It may not have an over 30 mpg, but its a welcome gift for large guys like Myself. It surpasses the Honda Pilot and anyone looking for a roomy SUV/CUV should definitely test drive this vehicle! It also heralds some great safety ratings as well...and the AWD is great in winter conditions. Try it youll love it!

  Love this SUV! - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Jen - January 19 - 12:31 am

  I have enjoyed this care VERY much! It drives like a dream and is cozy and quiet inside and out. It is wonderful in the snow too, though I havent driven it in VERY deep snow yet. It sticks to the road and I have yet to slide in bad weather. I feel very safe driving it. My kids love the DVD and XM radio. Gas mileage blows. I think GM needs to be honest in that department. Ive had this car for a month now and I cant seem to break 16 mpg no matter what I do. Good thing the car is WONDERFUL in many other aspects...I can overlook the mpg, I guess.
