Have had this vehicle since 2013 and find the ride to be smooth, great pick up, decent gas millage for an SUV. I have 131000 km and the only thing I have had to replace is the breaks and a couple of light bulb. Roomy, comfortable seats that flop down for extra storage. It is a 7 passenger SUV, the last two seats are tall able for a short distance for an adult but perfect for children. I would not hesitate to purchase another Traverse.
