2010 Chevrolet Traverse AWD LTZ Review

It isn't exactly as expensive as the Cadillac SRX we looked at the other day, but it still rakes in about $42,000 on the sticker, and will likely cause a few people to get out the wrinkle creams by the end of their loan.

For some time now, a family friend of my daughter’s in Ashland, Virginia, has been trying to convince her and her husband to purchase a Chevrolet Traverse. Ross Luck’s philosophy is that it would be an ideal vehicle for a family living miles out of town on a dirt road who needs reliable transportation and occasionally all-wheel drive. After a week behind the wheel of a Traverse, I must agree. Here is a solid sport utility vehicle that has a ton of features, decent power and good size. The only flaw I could find was that the economy could have been better. We only averaged 14.3 mpg in our test, even though the EPA estimates are 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. full review
