I Bought A Used 2015, But Still A Beautiful Ride

UPDATE: November 16, 2016 I've taken the Traverse on a number of long-distance trips since I bought it in February, and I am very happy with its comfort and smooth ride. I continue to get 19 miles to the gallon city, and 21 on the highway. I bought a utility trailer to pull behind it on rare occasions. Again, the Traverse pulls just fine: on the highway, uphill and on level streets. Since I don't have the towing package, I have to keep the extra haul weight to around 2000 pounds. But that's OK with me since the weight of the trailer and any stuff I haul never come close to that maximum. Had I done a little more research at the time I bought the Traverse, I would have spent the extra money for the tow package; and it wasn't that expensive either. To add a tow package now would be impractical according to the sources I have consulted, and very expensive. I have also added a very versatile, fold-up, hitch cargo carrier for hauling smaller items that don't fit comfortably in the cabin. This has actually been a workhorse piece of everyday equipment. Rather than put the groceries inside the vehicle, I employ the cargo carrier. The problem with having a carrier attached to the trailer hitch is that it significantly blocks the backup camera view when in the fold-up position. And anytime you have something mounted that close to the rear bumper, it deactivates the Park Assist "radar." * * * ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've owned the Traverse for three months now, and I am even more impressed than the day I drove it off the lot. It's comfortable for my 6'4" height, carries all the cargo I could want to carry, it handles well on the road and it gets relatively good gas mileage for its weight. Here is the one annoying thing I've discovered about the vehicle, a think which I have learned to adjust for: The rearview mirror seems to sit low on the windshield for someone as tall as me. Because of that, when I am stopped at a four-way intersection and I look to my right to ensure no other traffic is about to cross, I have to deliberately duck my head a little to be certain that no vehicles or pedestrians are hidden by the rearview mirror. This has happened to me on several occasions. The mirror takes up so much real estate and is so low that it blocks a considerable part of my vision in that direction. But luckily I always take a second glance before starting into the intersection, and that's when I spot the danger. I thought this was interesting because I used to drive a 2009 Traverse at work several years ago, and I don't recall this issue. The 2015 version of the Traverse has a lot of hi-tech electronics onboard that make for a very convenient driving experience. You can read the specs for yourself, but one you won't find anywhere is the fact that there is a battery sensor that will chime and send a notification to the instrument cluster telling you when the battery is approaching a low charge state. This feature has already saved me once.

My very first SUV

I got it because my son got married and she had 2 children. So if we went out to eat, we needed at least a 6 passenger, 2 of those in car seats. The Traverse was the perfect choice. My son is now divorced and my husband passed away. I no longer need this big of a vehicle for just me.

The MyLink System Absolutely Blows

2015 Chevrolet Traverse LTZ 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I love this vehicle. I really do. It's really a fantastic family vehicle with great value. Except for one thing. The MyLink System. General Motors, please do yourself a favor and fire whoever designed this system. It is the LEAST intuitive interface I've used in any software or vehicle in over a decade. This has really got to be the most annoying and unsafe user experience out there. It took my a whopping 20 minutes just to figure out how to set a location for the navigation system. And when I did, it was the absolute most unenjoyable and annoying experience you can think of. I'd seriously rather [non-permissible content removed] before having to use this thing everyday. RE. DE. SIGN. IT.

This the second Traverse we have had. The 2011 is now with my daughter, I loved it so much and could not find any vehicle comparable in price and features so I leased a 2015 for myself. I'm not worried about it being a GM product. I think they are under so much scrutiny and by now the employees have to know that they can't afford any more screw-ups. So far (about 3 years) I have had only a minor problem with the trim strip on one side of the car which the dealership promptly corrected (and we only had one minor, easily corrected issue with the 2011, plus a recall on the lift gate mechanism). I got this car when i had just become disabled. It has a driver's seat that retracts fully when you enter or exit the car, which was a godsend while wearing a neck brace. The same can be said of the backup camera and blindspot warning system. Everything is easily reachable. My only complaint is with the Navigation system, it is so clumsy I pull over if I need to change it, or (what I usually do) I have On-Star program it. Otherwise, what can I say, I smile every time I drive the car. It is truly fun, great looking, keeps the Grandkids happy with the backseat DVD and the front seat occupants happy with the Bose stereo and XM. Oh, and it has great cargo space even with all the seats up.

A great family SUV

Going up from a sports car with the family growing old I needed to lease a family SUV that holds at least 7 people, I shopped around and was close to seal a deal on a Honda Pilot but after testing the Traverse I was very impressed by the size of it, very specious plenty of room for everybody. One thing I've noticed that needs to be address, the touchscreen buttons should be bigger and remove from the borders of the screen.
