Would definitely not buy this car again. Brought it new in 2016. On December 28 2018 the car down shifted hard on the Interstate then I heard a pop and then a bunch of smoke. Pulled over to the side of the interstate while it was constantly wanting to shift gears. So got it towed to the dealer ship. They said the turbo went out so they replaced didn’t work so they replaced a piston on it still didn’t work so now they gotta replace all the pistons. They had my car for a month now. And what’s bad is we ran out of warranty 7000 miles ago.

Bought our Chevy Trax as GM Certified. It spent its first year/23000 miles as a rental with a nationally known company, so it's had plenty of time to develop any squeaks, rattles, leaks, quirks if any were to show up. It's as solid and flawless as when it was new. My review is based upon what it is, not what it is not. It's the small end of SUV's, so not comparing to bigger, luxury, more expensive and powerful SUV's, or car type SUV's. We like that it sits higher than a car, so easy to get in an out of. The front seats, while some say may be a little narrow, fit you like a glove. I'm 5'7", 205 lbs. and they feel great! No tach or temperature guage, but it's not a big deal. No CD player, but never used one much before, and the smart phone connections make up for that, plus use Sirius anyway. Some reviews say the ride seems a little stiff/choppy, but I like that firm footed feeling. I suppose that ride is mostly because of its shorter type wheel base. The road noise at highway speeds if about average for vehicle that sits higher, and part of that is due to the brand of tires, Continnentals, and which also have used about 50% to 60% of their tread. The steering is a shade on the sensitive side, but again I like that for quick, evasive maneuvers. The little engine that could, actually DOES! Plenty of pep and passing power with 6 speed auto and turbo for most of us "normal" drivers. Have had plenty snow here, and the AWD worked flawlessly even with half worn tires. Back up camera is awesome, and the size of the Trax makes parking a breeze. Driver seat adjustments are better than many and include a seat height and lumbar adjustment. Tilt steering wheel with telescopic is a plus in my book. Use of plastics on interior is on par with other SUV's in what I would call the entry level into SUV's, but are tastefully done. Taller folks in the rear may need you to move the front seats up a little. Rear cargo space is good, and the fold flat rear seats make it even more useful. Lack of center console with storage is maybe a minus, but not a deal breaker and the LT includes an under passenger slide out storage drawer. Not too crazy about some of the radio functions, like only touch screen to tune in channels, but that's just a learning curve thing. Numerous options on the driver control center for average mpg, miles to empty, time left until next oil change. We like the big, digital speedometer in addition to the analog style. Fuel economy is great for an AWD SUV. We get 28 mpg combined, and 34 hwy. That's much better than we had expected. If a small, AWD actual SUV is what you're looking for, then it's hard pass up considering a Chevy Trax. Well worth the smaller price tag.

I love my Traxx. I drive a lot for work and this is perfect. We also have a son and it's perfect for a ride with his friends or going to ball games. Have had it for two months and love it. This is the first new vehicle I have bought in years, but the price was right for what it offered and mpg rating. I can't wait to see how it gets around in snow!

I bought this just before we got the 12" of snow. I have had several 4x4's and I enjoyed my Comando the most. This is just all-wheel drive. With the snow I looked forward to coming up our hill, it is a steep little hill and has a S turn in the middle. I looked forward to powering up the hill and slipping and sliding, but to my surprise it just walked up the hill like there was nothing on it. I was a little disappointed, it just worked, no slipping, no sliding, it just went up the hill. I have not heard of anyone taking it off road, but with its short wheel base am looking forward to it. Update: I have now had the Trax over a year and a half. I think the impressive thing about it is how nice and tight it still is. It still feels like a new, well made vehicle. I use it for my car, and it gets all the around town driving, and it gets good mileage, typically around 24 mpg.
