The Chevrolet Traverse won’t help you traverse rugged, barren landscapes, but it will comfortably haul up to eight people in style.While its name may conjure up images of rocky hills and desert valleys, the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, like most affordable midsize SUVs, is a crossover that’s all about getting large families around town in style. With a distinctive exterior, roomy and modern interior, as well as performance and fuel economy that are excellent for its size, the Traverse makes a good choice for anyone who needs space and practicality, but just can’t bear the thought of driving a minivan."There is a plethora of crossover SUVs to choose from today and they come in all sizes," says MSN. "If you regularly tote around six or seven passengers, occasionally load plywood sheets or tow up to 5,200 pounds, the Traverse should be added to your shopping list."

Traverse competes in a large and competitive class, you can find other options that cost less. However, it’s very tough to find a competitor that’s as well-rounded as the Traverse.The Ford Flex gives the Traverse some stiff competition when it comes to style and interior comfort. Plus, the Flex has an optional EcoBoost engine, which boasts a whopping 355 horsepower, if power is important to you. Keep in mind that going for the Ecoboost engine will raise the Flex’s price. While most reviewers agree that the Traverse looks sleek, upscale and stylish, the Flex has retro styling that’s been likened to a Mini on steroids.

Most reviewers write that while the Chevrolet Traverse is no cheetah, it’s more nimble than you’d expect a crossover that can seat eight to be. While there are a few complaints about the Traverse’s transmission and braking distances, most reviewers say that piloting the Traverse around town is fairly worry-free.
If you want to standout while driving the carpool, reviewers say that the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse, with its sleek lines and confident grille, will do the job. "The big twin-port grille inspired by the Malibu works well on the Traverse, giving it a smooth yet still aggressive look,"
