2009 Chevrolet Traverse Review - Kelley Blue Book

www.kbb.com/
Although the once-thriving SUV business is in a sales downturn, GM is keenly aware that many Americans still have a need for seven-passenger transportation. With this in mind, GM has created a new line of crossover SUVs offering maximum interior space, mid-level towing capability and fuel economy numbers that reach into the mid-twenties. The latest iteration of this well-conceived platform is the 2009 Chevrolet Traverse, a vehicle that combines contemporary styling, one of the best accident-avoidance systems in the business and an interior worthy of a high-end luxury car - all at a Chevrolet price.

    I have owned my Traverse for over 9 months and i have to admit it... "My names Carmen and im a Traverse-a-holic" lol. I love this truck/crossover! Excellent quality and no road noise even at 85+mph on the highway LOL.

    I went to Rochester, NY in my new Traverse. It is a beast on the highway. This is one vehicle that you will enjoy driving on the highway long distance.

    I purchased the Traverse LT-2 AWD, a few months ago. I have to put in $60 to $70 in gas every week. The car takes up 23mpg hwy/ 16 or 17 city. The car rides great. Depending on how much driving you do. The Traverse is about a 1' foot shorter than the Tahoe, but it rides better.

    This thing is amazing. We test drove one and it was the most comfortable suv Ive sat in. It drove well, rode amazing, was so quiet, had adequet power, ect. We coulndt afford it though, but the Equinox was the same way. We need one of the two. Not to mention the quality feel in both that the Rav4, CRV, Highlander, and Pilot lack.

    Test driving this model, I found not only smooth driving and lots of power but the quietest driving of any I have test drove. The 2010 model might have some instrument panel issues as far as convenience goes. Lots of driver room for a person who is actually 6 foot tall. Certainly you can find issues with any make of car, so don't judge a car just by its shortcomings, unless they really bother you, beyond your comfort level.

    When describing the interior you say, "is suprisingly stylish, efficient, and well appointed", redundant is not the best of words to describe the rear climate and audio controls for 2nd row passengers. Just a thought.

    The second row seats looks really easy to move out of the way to get to the third row but what about having 2 child car seats in the second row and you just happen to have a person that you need to transport quickly from the third row. I guess you'd have to get them climb from the back or remove the child car seat and then out it back..I have 2 year old twins. so both sides of the second row are used. the third row needs to become easy to access with out the bottom cushion part to move.

    I really don't like the design, but its okay, now, these are still expensive, you can find a GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlooks priced under $9,000. Buick and Chevy ones are average $11,000 and $12,000.

    @aspugliese If you have to do that often, it may be better to put one child in the 3rd row and that would leave space for an adult on the 2nd and 3rd rows.

    as for the automation business people are afraid of the idea of lost jobs rather then the expansion of innovation and technology. yes there is the scare of a so called "singularity" but that's pure nonsense if robots can only be as smart as there creators. People have also complained on the idea that there would be less need for the mechanical business if things become more efficient. It seems that people are more obsessed with themselves rather then the idea of social evolution and development.

    It's FLAIR not FLARE. By the way Karl Friedrich Benz invented the first automobile in 1885 in Germany. Ford invented the ASSEMBLY LINE. Know your facts before you open your mouth.

  • @xxcallmegodxx89
    @xxcallmegodxx8914 жыл бұрын

    realistically all of these vehicles suck regardless of the brand. As much as they say your saving on fuel here and there you shouldn't even need the resource all together. The only issue we have in innovation for a better vehicle is the the oil companies and the loss of jobs through automation and mechanical jobs. These oil companies will lose so much money if we develop better vehicles that don't need the resource and as it stands now that's what north America is stabilized by.

    Sounds to me like someone is panicking that his world view is being challenged. Sorry dude... you're wrong, American cars are in, foreign cars are falling to the vices that cursed American cars once before.. cats and dogs, living together.. You might as well just come to terms with it now to save face.

    You're splitting hairs. You can argue the point and drag out the most obscure facts if you want but Karl Benz is recognized by just about every major authority in the automobile world as the inventor of the first true automobile (gasoline). Google it, everyone can't be wrong! Oh well It's not worth arguing about, I'm Canadian what the hell do I care?
