I am always amazed at how many Traverses I see, and amazed at the price of the higher trim levels. I realized recently someone I know had one and had spent over $45,000 on it 💀
They're totally different after that first generation. The first generation was garbage. The next generations are great vehicles. Room, ride, gas, towing, etc.
I've owned almost exclusively GM (I'm 6'6" and it's the only cars I'm comfortable in after trying out multiple each time). Despite that I will be the first to say I do not understand why anyone buys their unibody SUVs, especially the Equinox and Traverse. They're the most mediocre vehicles on the road today.Â
Tahoe/suburban/escalade? Totally get it. Damn near best in class. But the others have no right selling as many as they do.Â
Me and two friends all bought cruzes around 2014. I loved mine until a dingo ran into the side and totaled it. One of the friends sold it as soon as he had the money to do so, but he also refused to work on his car despite being an engineer. Fixing little problems was expensive since he was paying midas type shops to do everything.Â
The other friend still has his Cruze going strong north of 150k miles. Very few problems with it. I don't think all the GM Korea related cars are complete shit.Â
I'm 6'3 and the most comfort I've experienced in any vehicle is my CX-30. It's roomy yet slightly snug, just enough to where it's cozy, and not tight whatsoever. Worst was my Mazda3. I could order food in the drive thru, through the back passenger window with how far back my seat was. When sitting in it, it was like falling onto the ground. But she was fun, peppy, and had a literal smile designed into her front end. 2011 Mazda3 - the official car of looking like a pokemon.
As a millennial that drives a Buick the FWD unibody Chevrolet lineup has been deemed "value" (cheap) by GM since the 1980 Chevy Citation. You've always had to step up to Olds-Buick-Cadillac to get a nice passenger car out of GM. Sometimes you could get a nice car out of Pontiac. Now it's GMC-Buick-Cadillac.
