Totally NOT WORTH the Buck!!!

When we were looking for a 7 seater to trade in our Chevy Avalanche, I made the biggest mistake in leaving the decision to my hubby and son. They checked out the Chevy Traverse 2013. We had a Saturn Outlook and that was a sweet SUV. We couldn't complain. The color, the interior, the performance of that SUV was impeccable. Thinking that this Traverse had the same look, it totally blinded them. They got mesmerized and memories of that Saturn took over. And they were bought out by those memories and the good sales pitch lies of the Dealership where we bought this crap of a car where we paid an arm and a leg on top of that! Everything was make-up. Underneath it all is junk. So do not be fooled. I don't think I'd be buying a Chevy again. We did enjoy the Avalanche. But after this experience, they ruined it for us. It's not a gasoline saver, it definitely eats up gas. It's been 5years and we still owe over $20k on this! Yup! That's how overpriced it was! We bought it for over $45k I think! Insanity! No tvs. None of that! In 3years, their gear acted up... Search engine lights come on for no reason, you hear rattling sounds.. what the heck. In the 5 years we've had this, I think we've had to change the windshield like 2x. I think it's so thin and flimsy that when a pebble hits it, it cracks. Likewise, i know that there is something wrong with the transmission gear. It feels like it is taking longer than usual for it to change to the next gear. This is causing to use up more gasoline. It just sucks. I wrote a review on them the very first day I found out about the amount they charged us on the vehicle! I wanted to return it the day after we bought it.. ...and the dealer never got back with me. Chevy sucks! Totally sucks! Today, the car started emitting this awful smell... What the heck! Why do they make crappy cars? If I were you guys, stay away! Now I understand why they say Japanese or German cars are better.

Traded from an 2011 SRX. No comparison, this is a much better ride and performance. (plus the cost diff)

Bought our 2013 Traverse LT new, left over 13. Love everything about it but since we travel there is no way to hang clothes between the front and second seats. Clothes hooks are behind 2nd row seat and you have to choose luggage or clothes behind 2nd row. We usually put the seats down and put luggage behind the front seats since just 2 of us are traveling. Only have 11k on the car but getting ready to trade for something that works better. Probably go back to a Highlander since I have owned 2 and had great luck with both. No there are no grab handles in ours.
