  Our Traverse - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Frank Z - August 3 - 6:40 pm

  We just purchased this about two weeks ago, but it has already met all our expectations and exceeded some. Cannot say much about MPG, because we only have 475 miles on the vehicle. Only two areas needed repair/adjustment. Left side doors off a little in alignment, and seal for drivers window crimped. Doors have been aligned and window seal is on order. It is very roomy, rides very well and the Nav system is greatly improved over our 2007 GM vehicle, although screen size is a little smaller. Very stable on rural roads and interstates. Turns very well at local speeds and turning radius is excellent.

  Great Vehicle - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By ChevyTrav - December 29 - 5:56 pm

  Cant find too much to complain about yet with this car. Its roomy and rides well. A lot of nice features come with it standard (i.e. XM radio, OnStar, built in phone). Gas mileage has been as advertised so far. I guess there are two things that are slightly bothersome about it and both have already been mentioned by the editors. It tends to be a bit slow to downshift and there is a fair amount of plastic in the car. However, these two minor imperfections really havent bothered me that much. Overall, I feel that this is a quality car that Chevrolet has put out. I would recommend this car to the person who needs space, towing capacity, and decent gas mileage to go along with it.

  My New Car - Love it - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Sherri - November 29 - 11:10 am

  This car is quiet and fun to drive. I love the DVD system with the wireless headphones for the kids. The interior space is not much smaller than my Ford Expedition that I traded in. I actually have more cargo room while all 7 seats are up than before.

  A Real Test Drive..... - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By lk - October 4 - 11:06 am

  Lets talk Turkey. I love this car. I had researched it and looked at it and when my 1998 145,000ml Chevy Blazer finally gave out this was the car I headed to. 2 days ago I was driving the middle lane when a car pulled out from my right to cross over 3 lanes in front of me. I laid on my horn and steered left as the car that pulled out still was crossing left with no signal. I slammed on my breaks thinking that I should have gotten gap protection when the entire car locked up and stopped me from smashing into this guys rear end. I have never been that close to an accident and that second I thanked god I was in this car. I know that sounds dramatic, but what if my kids were with me? good car.

  Great vehicle, an SUV worth a look - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Jim - May 21 - 5:53 am

  Test drove several SUVs, and some lower- cost offerings like Forester. They were good, but if youre in the need of large-ish SUV, take a Traverse for a test drive, I was sold. Its very comfortable, quiet and nimble for its size. High-end powertrain and engineering all around. Great for larger families and if you rate safety high on the list.

  I SIMPLY LOVE IT! - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Gord T - January 13 - 4:46 pm

  This vehicle has everything I want in a car! Several people have commented on its looks and functionality. Fun to drive and rides beautifully on the highway. GM has produced a winner here. If they turn out a few more cars of this quality they should have no trouble surviving their tough times.

  Is this really a Chevy? - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By chevy guy - December 2 - 12:06 pm

  If you took the bowties off this SUV you would not believe it is a Chevy. My wife and I are very impressed. It was a leap of faith to order one without actually seeing one like it and driving it. We are not disappointed. Maybe I am too much of a Chevy man with some bias, but this is one great vehicle to drive and ride in with excellent build quality. We got the LTZ in Black Raven (I think that is what its called) and it has some metallic it in. Beautiful especially in the sun.

  Great SUV - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Ken Miller - October 22 - 9:46 am

  The Traverse handles much better than the other GM "clones" and the new direct injection engine revs so quick and willingly. Mileage is running 19/20 overall except when my son drives it and then it drops 2 mpg. Traded in a 2008 Mazda CX-9 and this is a far better vehicle.

  Wife Loves It, Period! - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Rye Man Vtown - September 24 - 10:20 am

  My wife and I drive a VW Jetta and a Maxima and we needed to buy a SUV (NOo!!). But, our first baby is due in September and we needed a family car. So we went off and test numerous SUVs; Honda Pilot, Acura MDX, Infinity FX35, Mazda CX-9 and Nissan Murano. All most of them had the same options and features, but somehow the Chevy Traverse stood out from all of them. First, the design was eye catching (Generally I dont like the look of Chevy cars) sexy and aggressive at the same time; Second, the features where all comparable or even better than the other top-end models of the other manufactures I mention above. Finally, the price and interest rate from Chevy BEAT all competitors. GO USA!!

  From MB back to GM - 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
  By Messina Mommy - August 27 - 2:16 pm

  I finally splurged and got the black on black Mercedes I had always wanted. As a single mom of 3 boys, I was ready to get into something sporty. After 7 months of driving a little tiny sedan (C300), I realized that it just wasnt practical. Having 3 boys (ages 17, 7, & 6), I need something thats tough, practical and can withstand how hard we are on our car. I went to a dealership with all intensive purposes of purchasing a Tahoe. I had 3 in the past and new I loved them. The dealer had the Traverse LTZ on the show room floor. I test drove it & was so relieved to have that Solid, Chevy SUV feeling back. Test drove the Tahoe & decided I loved the Traverse LT2 in silver! Love it! Get one!
