  Great SUV! - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By M. Cleveland - October 2 - 4:51 pm

  We traded in an 06 Cadillac DTS this rides every bit as smooth. Retired, but wanted the room to haul things - its sort of our "car/truck". Lots of cargo space. Love the Bose sound system, great bass! Remote rear hatch is convenient & the fact we can change it to manual which allows us to open in the garage. The head rests were uncomfortable but just turned them around and theyre fine. Cup holders are nice size storage areas are adequate. Fuel economy is good considering my DH doesnt do gradual stops and tends to lead foot on take off even then were getting avg. 20 mpg city/hwy. A 75 mi. trip of 60 & 75 mph combined, averaged 26mpg. and a 158 mi hilly day trip-avgd 22 mpg.

  Exceptional Vehicle - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Paul - September 25 - 10:01 am

  Very impressed with this vehicle. Still own a 1998 Malibu and traded in our 2002 Venture. If I could only own 1 vehicle, this would be it. It does it all - it really shines on the highway. Good riding height and has a substantial presence on the road which helps with the big truck traffic. Around town is is very nimble and my average fuel economy is 20.1 at the moment which I think is pretty good for a 4700 pound 281 HP vehicle. The exterior styling is really one of the coolest crossovers made. I get a lot of comments about it and it makes most other vehicles look like antiques. Overall, very pleased with this purchase and hope to keep it for a long long time.

  Make the whole family happy!!!!!!!!!!! - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By linda Jakson - September 9 - 1:36 pm

  We are a family of 5. Me, my husband and three grown children youngest one is 14 the other 2 twins are 16. So we needed room, my husband Mark was against a mini van and the gas mileages on most suvs are not good. We look at different vehicles for about a month off an on, mostly imports because of their reliabilities. Test drove the Honda Pilot and was about to buy when we saw the Traverse drive by. Read reviews,& went to dealer. Fell in love, At first we were going to buy one with the ench seat in the 2nd because of having 3 kids. Decided on capts chairs. The kids all have plenty of room and fight over the the 3rd row because they sit in middle & stretch they leg between the capts chairs.

  Great Crossover value - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By car lower - August 29 - 10:51 am

  We purchased the 09 Traverse LTZ after comparing GMC, Buick to other brands. Traverse seems to be the best value of the group. I cant wait to drive it on longer trips to experience all the features it has to offer. Comfort is much like sitting in a minivan so that you are not tired when you finish a trip.

  Out the door trip - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Alan J. McTaggart - August 27 - 1:39 pm

  Took my Traverse with only 180 miles on it out to South Dakota on a 3,600 mi trip with absolutely no problems four adults and luggage everybody as comfortable gas mileage averaged 20.9 for the whole trip. More mileage on the vehicle the better the mileage. Could not have been happier with the vehicle.

  Good All Around Crossover - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Nick - August 24 - 8:48 pm

  This fun-to-drive crossover has it all for a small family that will expand! Captains chairs in second row perfect for a child seat, third row perfect for driving family around with your kids! Drives like a car with great acceleration for a heavy vehicle. All you would need with a family in back. Punch it and theres a bit of torque- steer. Not recommended with family in car! Bose stereo is great and all controls easy to navigate. Remote rear hatch very helpful and very good storage with third-row seats down. With a full car, good idea to purchase storage container for top of vehicle or extra storage on the hitch. Overall very satisfied with vehicles mpg, 18 city, 25 hwy. Rview camera a +.

  Still Loving my Traverse - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Rachel - August 24 - 2:39 pm

  I didnt think an American-made car could feel so luxurious. The interior is spacious and very comfortable with lots of leg room, even in the third row seating area. I love all of the storage compartments in the front drivers area too. The seats fold and move very easily to make more space for hauling when necessary. The back- up sensors and camera are great. My biggest complaint is the size of the buttons for turning A/C on or off, front or rear defrost on/off, etc. Theres a cluster of 8 buttons and if you dont know just where the button is youre going for, its a bit confusing and takes your attention from the road for a moment. Overall, fun to drive and Im enjoying it!

  Quality for the Money - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Eric - August 24 - 12:47 pm

  Weve had our Traverse for over two weeks and it certainly shows the quality that American car manufacturers can showcase once again. We purchased a loaded 2LT and the ride quality is outstanding. The cabin is incredibly quiet, even with the sunroof opened. Our other vehicle is a 2007 PT Cruiser and the Traverse is doing nearly the same gas mileage of that small car! Were averaging 18.6 MPG with a heavy amount of in-town driving. When calculating the mileage with all the horsepower the Traverse has, I can see that if you are quick to take off at a green light, you can easily lower your MPG greatly. For the size of the vehicle, the fuel economy is good.

  very nice - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By paulbier - August 18 - 7:05 pm

  traded in Ford Explorer for Traverse. I was very happy with my Explorer and thus far the Traverse is a much more enjoyable. The interior comfort & drive is nicer. I purchased the captains chairs for the second row. With 2 young children, it is much more efficient to access the 3rd row. getting just under 18 mpg city.

  Not your Mini van any more - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Jeff - August 17 - 8:18 am

  My family and I (3 kids) needed something that could fit our needs but we do not like Mini-vans. This traverse is IT! It looks like a crossover, handles like a SUV but has the features of a minivan. The room and captains chairs are great for the younder kids, the oldest loves having the rear seat to herself. My wife and I have room in front and it is a safe handling vehicle as well. Very good work went into this vehicle to meet the needs of the family of today.
