Love this car with a large family. The third row seating is a must. Anyone with a lot of gear to travel with this is a must. Will fit 7-8 people comfortably. Will also have room for some stuff with that many people. Nice vehicle great ride. Love having the jump drive option for music. Have to be careful about the size of the drive too large and it will reset and start back from the beginning.

I would not buy this car again. We have had all kinds of problems with the A/C, motor mounts and back hatch door. Some of the problems were fixed under to warranty. I do not drive the car very much and the warranty ran out because of time, not miles, so I have a car that has 40K miles and the A/C died. Since the warranty had expired, we had to pay a lot of money to have the A/C fixed. We have a 1998 Toyota Camry which has never had any A/C problems. It is actually cold in the Camry during a very hot summer day. I would not buy this car again. How does the A/C just die when the car has 40K miles? It cost us thousands to fix the A/C.

Overall, the Chevy Traverse is a quality vehicle with lots of interior space for your larger family. As a father of two small children, we use this car to take our family outings -- fitting two parents, two children, our luggage, and our large Labrador without feeling cramped. Adding friends or additional family members still leaves us with enough room for most of our overnight stays to have a comfortable trip there.
