The Traverse is roomy enough for a family with growing tween and teenage boys and all the groceries to feed them at the same time. It has comfortable seating in the driver and passenger row and the middle row. The third row seating is fine for smaller passengers. The seats fold down easily for more cargo space. The gas mileage of an average of 22 miles per gallon with the rural driving that I do is great for the size and power. Cruising uphill is easy with the powerful engine. The rear back-up camera has a great wide angle view which is a good thing because the design leaves several blind spots that make it dangerous without the camera. The metal between the windshield and the passenger window create another blind spot that requires the driver moving forward and backward to see when turning. The dual air makes for a comfortable ride, even for the passengers in the third row on a hot summer day. There are plenty of jacks for electronics throughout the vehicle. That makes it a little easier for those times when everyone needs a little alone time on long road trips.

I have loved this car for the most part. It has tons of leg room which is important for me because I'm tall. Mine seats 7 people which is awesome for our family of 5 because we can take a couple friends on trips too. The back seats fold down. The middle seats do but not flat down. Mine also has a backup camera, a TV, and everything is electric, including the heated seats. There are two seats up front, two captains seats in the middle, and a bench seat in the back. The back seat also lets you fold down one side and not the other if you are hauling stuff. Mine came with a hitch too and has traction control. It does really well in town driving and we have taken it on several trips across the states for family vacation.
