SereneHome Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 We are looking at getting an SUV - we are deciding between Subaru Ascent and Chevy Traverse. We already know everything we need to know about Subaru, but would love to hear the good, the bad and the ugly about Traverse. Please share!!!

City Mouse Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 My parents have a Chevy Traverse and seem to like it, but I would never buy one because I hate riding in the back seat. The vertical distance from the seat to the floor seems very short. I always feel like my knees are up at my ears. (Exaggerating a bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Exaggerating a bit) that's interesting bc the dimensions show that it has a lot of leg room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Mouse Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It does have good forward leg room, just the seat height seems very low to me, but I do have long legs for my height, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimom Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 We have had 2 and would buy another. The first one was 'mine' but I decided it was too small for me so I traded it in for a Surbuban. My husband said almost every day he wish he never sold it and kept it for himself. A few years later when it was time for him to get a new vehicle (thanks deer!), he did then buy another Traverse. We have not had any issues with either one. We also have an Equinox which is the size down. It is my daughter's. She was t-boned at a high rate of speed and her Equinox that was only around a year old was totaled. She walked away without a scrape. We bought her another Equinox just like it. So at this point we have the small, medium and large; Equinox, Traverse and Suburban :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consumer Report doesn't have good reliability rating so I was getting concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I've had my Chevy Traverse for over 10 years, and I love it. I feel so safe in it. I am at about 97.000 miles, and we've had hardly any problems with it. It's been a wonderful vehicle, and I hope I'll be driving it for many more years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
