We bought the 2012 Chevy Traverse just in time for our family trip to New Brunswick (4 kids, my fiancee and myself). During the over 40 hours spent driving between Ontario and New Brunswick and back, as well as the driving around in the province, there was not one complaint about pain, stiffness or lack of comfort. There was enough room in the vehicle for 2 adults (5'10", 5'3") in the front, two teenage boys in the middle (6'3", 5'2") and two young girls in the very back (4'2", 3'3"). The handling saved us a few times during the drive through Quebec from over-eager lane changers, and on the commute to work (~150 km each way) and back every day there is no pain and quick handling to avoid scary distracted Toronto drivers.
