15 of 15 people found this review helpful
I bought this SUV for a family car as an upgrade to the old Montana SV6AWD. It has the 3.6 V6 LT2 leather heated seats and sunroof. It has a tight nimble handling with plenty of power for acceleration but gas thirsty in city traffic. The trip computer does give instantaneous mileage and average over 50 mile distance. Only driven 500 miles but everything works well except the transmission shifts feel vague and sluggish at low throttle speeds but crisp under acceleration. I wanted the extra power for a full load of adults with luggage and deep snow for AWD in the mountains.The rear seat is only suitable for 2 adults and 3 in a pinch. It came with the a CPO extended warranty but will need an extended service contract to 6 years / 100K miles for anticipated repairs to a typical GM product.It has all the features of a higher priced SUV and I like to buy USA products(even though built in Canada) and have a local Chevy dealer for service or local mechanics. I hope it gives long term reliability and comfort for the wife and kids and those occasional family road trips. 8/2018 43000 miles of wife driving mostly inner city trips. First mechanical failure was the windshield wiper motor transmission during a heavy rain storm this weekend and I have installed new ceramic brake pads all around at 40K miles and in for Dexos oil and filter changes every 6 months. Overall it still is gas thirsty but runs well on highway and enough power with a full load and A/C on to keep up with traffic. The transmission shift points still feel soft or vague at low throttle settings. 2/2019 48,000 miles: The car mechanics and electronics still working like new , mostly inner city driving by my wife . Just replaced 4 tires with Michelin Latitudes and handles well in the snow again. Gas mileage still low due to city traffic but has the power to pull 5 passengers uphill to highway speeds quickly. I would still recommend it for an affordable mid size with a V-6 alternative to expensive imports but only time will tell it's durability.8/2019 52,000miles. Still running well with no problems encountered with recent Mobil 1 oil change at home . Next visit to dealer for the routine oil and tire rotation and a detailing. Wife and I like the car since we bought it .2/2020 and 56500 miles. Still running very well in all weather conditions and all the mechanical and electronics are problem free. The broken wiper problem is a defective part and is under a recall from GM. The engine used about 0.5 quarts of oil between changes and the gas mileage in the stop and go city traffic is only 13-15 mpg and 20-22 mpg on the occasional highway run. Still has plenty of power and a good value. 8/2021 66,000 miles and still running well without any mechanical or electronic problems. Routine oil changes and tire rotations and had NHOIL undercoating last summer to limit underside rusting. Fuel mileage always low in city driving, but the V6 power still worth it when needed. I would still recommend if you can find a low mileage one at this time . 2021 and 68,000 miles without any mechanical or electrical problems. Body and suspension still solid and noise free ,using dealer Dexos oil change and tire rotations on schedule and extended service contract not needed yet. Still recommended if you can find one with low mileage and good maintenance records.8/2022 and still has no issues or repairs.Wash and wax and still looks as good as 2017.The V6 engine option is still a better alternative to the 4 cylinder and the newer Blazer ,Colorado and Cadillacs still use it .8/2023 77,500 miles and still has been mechanically trouble free (knock on wood) , Interior leather still like new,Exterior body and paint holding up to New England weather and suspension and tires to the bad roads. Wife still enjoys driving it around town and work and hope to keep it for 100K miles or more if still trouble free.Been a good vehicle from an USA manufacturer!

we have taken several very long trips in this car. Mine has never been at the dealer for any problems at all. No recalls, nothing. Coming up on 4 years of ownership, no problems of any kind. It's an excellent highway car. Several long trips, very quiet and comfortable, coming up on 50 k miles. My only real complaint is the raspy 4 banger engine. We've had no engine problems and once in high gear at 70 mph it's fine, tranny works well but city freeway driving is not fun as your have to really thrash the thing down the on ramps. Update: Still totally solid car. About 60 K miles now, still feels tight, like new. Our favorite car for traveling. Update 70k miles. Absolutely no problems. Still on original tires and brakes. Update Around 75 k miles. Never one, single, issue with this car. Excellent reliability. Update Close to 90K miles now. Other than basic maintenance no problems whatsoever

I looked at and test drove a handful of other small to midsize SUV's thinking i was finally going to get what i REALLY wanted and not be penny pinching this time around (within reason). Nissan, Acura, BMW, to name a few and couldn't help but come back to Chevy. The functionality and beautiful design far surpassed the others. I'm almost 3 years in - coming to the end of the lease - and if it makes sense, will definitely consider keeping it. There a few minor things I'm not crazy about: an optional piece had to be added between the back seat and cargo area to keep things from slipping between the large space between. There is molding that is coming loose on the front passenger side underneath the door jamb. Sometimes when using blue tooth to play music, it gets stuck saying the song has been paused and i have to close the music on i-tunes and restart it for some unknown reason. Other than that, i couldn't be happier - no major issues and she's nice to look at too!

I had problems with the motor almost as soon as I bought it. Check engine light came on and multiple trips to the dealership failed to correct the problem. In the 4 years I owned it, maybe a total of a collective year the check engine light wasn't on.
