We bought this vehicle new, and it has been great. We have driven from Michigan to Florida twice, and from Michigan to the Pacific ocean, no problems, even in mountains and extreme heat and humidity. Our Pacific road trip had 3 adults and 3 children, plus all our luggage and we all fit just fine with only a small hitch cargo carrier for a total of 21 days. With just basic maintenance, it still runs quiet and has good acceleration. We have 2 full back rows of seats with a 2/1 split. When all the seats are folded down, the cargo area is really generous--can easily fit an adult bike and then some. We have two large dogs plus 3 kids, and even though we've been rough on the cloth upholstery, there are no rips or snags. This is a heavy vehicle, so even without 4 wheel drive, it does just fine in most snow conditions (snow tires help). The dual zone climate control is helpful with kids, as are the multiple ports, cup holders, and storage areas. Overall, it's been a great, trouble-free vehicle for us, and I'll miss it if it ever dies.

The Chevy Traverse is an amazing family vehicle. It can seat seven people comfortably. We have maintained out vehicle regularly and have had no major mechanical issue with the vehicle.
