I bought my LTZ as a Certified Pre Owned, already 5

I bought my LTZ as a Certified Pre Owned, already 5 Years old. I have driven it for 3.5 years and just had to pay for my first Repair - a broken motor mount. It is quiet, smooth and comfortable. I am 6' 4" and go 250 lbs so space and comfort are paramount for me, and I could not be happier.

First Chevy I've ever owned.

First Chevy I've ever owned. Took a chance on it due to the insane deal I got from dealership. Been 2 years now and only had one issue...O2 sensors replaced..other than that nothing..it's been a great car, lots of room, classy interior and dogs love it for long road trips.

Worst car ever.

Worst car ever. Transmission, traction control system, engine problems, ac compressor and condenser went out. I got this car March 2022, two years later and the problems are getting worse. Mind you I’m financing the car, plus major repairs…CUT ME SOME SLACK WILL YA #RunFromItAsap

I will never own another Traverse.

I will never own another Traverse. I’ve had so many issues with this vehicle it’s ridiculous. I’ve always been a Chevy loyalist but this vehicle has changed my whole attitude toward the brand!

Best Car Ever Owned

Best Car I Have Ever Owned. Will definitely Buy Same Car Again. This car is well worth the money. It actually gets great gas mileage to be a larger vehicle

Great car for people

It’s a great car for every day use but it could have better performance considering the engine in the car. Not gonna lie but it does ok with slight modifications to increase power but would only recommend if you’re looking for a sleeper build lol. Over all it’s fairly comfortable , has its issues but it’s ok. Had to replace the transmission due to a recall. Apart from that it has over 98k miles on the original engine. I love the fun little features with the infotainment systems and the ltz trim was just perfect It does have a Tv in the 2nd row for the little ones I would 100% recommend this car as I got this car brand new with 2 miles from factory. It’s an amazing car.

My comments on my 2016 Chevy Traverse vehicle

This is my second traverse and I’ve never liked the seats in driver & passenger seats. They are uncomfortable getting in and out of. Not much room in back once front seats are adjusted and we’re not tall or large people! The windshield wipers are always noisy & scrub windshield. We purchased traverse as there was not enough room in any of the Equinox that we looked at and drove. Now that we’re older we would not purchase traverse or equinox due to way the seats are. The seating in my 2009 Traverse were much more comfortable and easier to get in and out of as the seats were so different than 2016 ones. Now I need to get recalls completed before we sell/trade! Thanks for reading and hopefully changes will be made in Traverse for the better! I’ve had Suburban that I really liked to as it was very roomy! My husband is a die-hard Chevy-GM customer and he has never bought me anything to drive but Chevrolets to drive.

Love it!

I absolutely love my Traverse. It’s beautiful inside and out. I feel safe in this size vehicle after being in a car wreck, in a small car. The gas mileage is the only thing that would be considered a downside. Mine gets about 19 mpg.

Could drive a Traverse forever

Wonderful experience and soooo much room for person and items… I have absolutely no complaints other than I didn’t have an automatic lift gate button
