Free car for a week? Sure. I drive strictly an electric vehicle and public transportation these days, but couldn’t pass up GM’s generous offer to review their Crossover SUV “Traverse”.  It’s the best of all possible worlds. A vehicle that drives like a luxury car, carries 7 people like a mini van and hauls stuff like a truck.

Like a luxury car. When my wife drove it, she thought the driver’s seat was so comfortable, she called it the driver’s chair! It really feels incredibly comfortable on a few long drives. I loved the alerts if I was too close in parking or someone was driving too close to me. If you are not used to driving such a big car, these come in handy. It has all the latest streaming technology packed inside any modern car.

Like a mini van. Seats 7 to run the kid’s carpool, but doesn’t make me look like an uncool parent. A definite plus!

Like a truck. Fold down the seats and this vehicle can hold a lot of stuff. We hauled a lot of things even though it was pouring rain.

As expected, the gas mileage is nothing special for a large vehicle like this.  I can’t wait until they make it into an Electric Vehicle!
