Pros: Expansive, versatile passenger and cargo room; ride comfort, decent handling for a vehicle of this size and weight
Cons: Large turning circle compromises close-quarters maneuverability; touchscreen buttons are sometimes unresponsive; prices get steep on higher-end models
2015 Traverse
CG Says: The Chevrolet Traverse is mostly unchanged for 2015, save for the addition of Siri Eyes Free functionality for Apple iPhone users and text message support for other smartphone users. Traverse combines space, power, and decent road manners into a fine package that looks and feels more expensive than it is. If you are shopping midsize SUVs, Traverse should be on your list.
