2011 Chevrolet Traverse LT

The 2011 Traverse is Chevrolet's mid-size SUV, a roomy three-row crossover that competes with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. It rides smoothly and handles predictably, feeling more car-like than truck-like, which makes it easy to drive every day. Inside, the Traverse offers generous space for up to eight, with a third row that folds flat to open up a large cargo area. Some owners mention flimsy interior plastic bits and occasional electrical gremlins, but the powertrain itself holds up well. The LT skips the LTZ's extra horsepower and chrome trim, but it keeps the same roomy cabin and costs thousands less.
