Great looking SUV with all wheel drive. Safety, and control during inclement weather. Only problem that never got fixed was the transmission would not engage sometimes, while the RPMs headed toward the red-line. Eventually it would kick in, but when you are trying to merge onto a highway with a semi driving up your backside at 70 MPH, a slipping transmission leaving your car a sitting duck at half that speed is a bit concerning. Took to dealer multiple times, but since it eventually kicks in, the few seconds of slip didn't meet their threshold for warranty repair. They had to extend the warranty on the drive train due transmission issues, that the 3rd gear would break leaving you stuck on the road without any warning. So that was always in the back of your mind each time you took a trip -- is this the time the transmission wont engage and i get rear ended, or is it going to fail and lock up leaving stranded? Other than the lack of confidence in the (super expensive to repair) transmission, the rest of the car was pretty decent.

Is this really a Chevy?

If you took the bowties off this SUV you would not believe it is a Chevy. My wife and I are very impressed. It was a leap of faith to order one without actually seeing one like it and driving it. We are not disappointed. Maybe I am too much of a Chevy man with some bias, but this is one great vehicle to drive and ride in with excellent build quality. We got the LTZ in Black Raven (I think that is what it's called) and it has some metallic it in. Beautiful especially in the sun.

I bought my Traverse in November of 08. Extremely happy with the car at first but after 6 months you begin to realize the faults and what makes it a Chevrolet. I love the versatility of the car and love the way it drives. At first I really enjoyed the interior but after you get to know it, you realize there is a lot of plastic used in the car. Paying full price for the LTZ, it would be nice to have leather in places where there is plastic.
It's good but not great.

Bought this vehicle because I previously had a suburban that averaged 14 mpg. The Awd version which I have is supposed to average 23 mpg. Most of the time I am in the 17,18,19. It is a far cry from the 23 they advertise. I believe the vehicle lacks power and the v 6 in this vehicle needs an upgrade. Last the engine light kept coming on and now the dealer has told me that the vehicle with 32,000 miles on it needs a new belt( timing I believe). He said its a common problem in the Traverse. Besides that I think its a decent vehicle for your money. Gm has come a long way but they need too realize that they are not there yet. Its a good vehicle but not great.
Terrible vehicle, poor dealer

Purchased 1-8-09, fully loaded $45K. From day one problems every few months. Four serious problems. On 2 long trips this vehicle almost left us stranded on the road. Once, it almost caught fire(bad cable connection under hood), rear lift gate left strut went bad and lift gate fell right on my head. GM & Chevy say: Well, it is fixed now and that then end of what we will do.
