2011 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2012 | 4dr SUV 281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Although the rear captain seats are quite comfortable, I do not like how they roll forward. There is a track in the floor in which the rear seats fold and slide up behind the front seats. All I notice when in the back seat is how extremely difficult it is to clean out the mud and grit and salt (I live in Canada, we use salt on our roads) that gets left behind in the track from passenger footwear. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

The headrest position is horrible for long trips. Felt like my head was being pushed forward. see full Chevrolet Traverse review |

It is great for young children, but not very comfortable for adults. It would LEGALLY allow you to drive many people around, but certainly not comfortably in the third row. Third row does NOT allow room even for kids in car seats to have any leg room. see full Lexus GX review |
