Former Chevy Traverse High Country owner
My previous car was Chevy Traverse High Country. Compared to Chevy, Palisade has superior build quality. I like the interior styling too, and the brown leather looks very cool (my Chevy also had brown leather, but not the plastic). I like the tech, it's definitely better (although my Chevy was top of the line). Overall, I like the car very much.
But! There are ways that my Chevy was superior:
1. I could go to the next track in Spotify by pressing "up" button. In Palisade "up" goes back, and "down" goes forward. I see the logic, but pushing up on the toggle is easier than pushing down, and we can agree that changing tracks to the next one is way more frequent. PLEASE PROVIDE a way to change the reverse the direction, so pressing "up" goes to the next track.
2. Paddle shifters are useless to me. PLEASE PROVIDE a way to assign changing tracks to them, or some other useful function.
3. Why there is no way to make AC to blow just up? I can use defroster switch for that, but that is backwards. PLEASE ADD one more option to "flow direction" toggle - it should allow selecting "up" only (not together with "down" as it does now - my feet are freezing and I don't like that).
5. The fancy maroon colors should be lighter. I have a green car, but most of the time it looks black, and I see green only occasionally when the car is under direct sunlight.
The BIGGEST complaint so far: on some roads with small periodic imperfections (thing seams, or grooves) the car starts bouncing pretty hard. It gets really uncomfortable, you feel like you're driving over a washing board. I NEVER had this happen in my Chevy.
SLIGHTLY SMALLER gripe - why autosteering is turning on when adaptive cruise is enabled? I don't want autosteering, I don't trust it, and when it turns off there is no sound. Right now I have to disable it (pressing a button) every time I turn on adaptive cruise. PLEASE PROVIDE A WAY to disable autosteering for good.
A single build quality gripe - in my car, the dashboard in the passenger half has a weird crease, which is pretty long. It's not super visible unless you're in the passenger seat, but it's there, and you can feel in the plastic. See pictures of it. If there is an option to fix, I'd like to do that.
