What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Chevrolet Traverse

2012 Chevrolet Traverse Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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

The front seat head rests are horrific. They jut out and force your head, neck and entire upper back into an uncomfortable position. I'm sure this is part of some ill-conceived anti-whiplast design, but it's awful. I'd rather risk some whiplash than drive every day with this! see full Mazda Mazda5 review
