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 |

The rear seat slides for and aft making for lots of leg room or more cargo space when you need it. I also like the center armrest and upright position. see full Pontiac Torrent review |
