I really like how the car handles. It is smooth, quiet and drives well. It is sporty with a third row seat. It has good room in the front and seats are comfortable. There are many safety features-airbags and traction control to start with. The seats fold down flat and allow for larger items to travel such as plywood, small bikes, etc. I just love the back up camera and parking sensors. They are also great safety features. The back seats can move forward and backward allowing again for more space. So far it has been a really great car. It has a V6 engine giving it plenty of power to get started from a stop without having to really race the engine. I love the having the cruise control and radio control buttons on the steering wheel-2 great features. I like the availability that Chevy has for the OnStar safety program. It really offers a great piece of mind when on the road alone and in unfamiliar territory. There is also an insurance deduction for having it in my car. I also love the USB port and attempts to make technology available in a car for the road. I just love my traverse!
