2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

Although the Traverse might look like an SUV, it’s really more of a camouflaged minivan—especially considering its spacious and family-friendly cabin with room for eight. Powered by a 281-hp V-6 and driving the front or all four wheels through a six-speed automatic, performance is merely adequate. Despite sharp steering, the handling is rather bland, but the ride is quite compliant. Unfortunately for the Traverse, many of its rivals are more engaging to drive, including some actual minivans.
