After drivng and loving my Chevorlet Cruz for 5 years, I needed to upgrade to an AWD vehicle. I was not impressed that I was looking at spending $24,000 for AWD vehicles that had 40,000 miles on. Then Chevrolet came out with the 16% off and the new Trax were a great price. I test drove the Trax LT AWD and it was basically my Cruz on steroids. I LOVED it. Felt comfortable driving it right away. Low road noise, great handling and pick up on the interstate, lots of head room, just fun to drive. A couple down sides, I am not a fan of the touch screen, there is no volume knob.. only arrows so it takes longer to increase or decrease the volume, there isn't any voice command for the blue tooth phone connection, you have to search your address book on the screen which takes your eyes off the road. The back seat is smaller but if the front seats are up a little it is still comfortable to sit in. It probably wouldn't work great with 2 car seats however. The interior is a little cheaper looking but for the price it is definatley worth it. I didn't expect the smaller 4 cylinder engine to handle the bigger vehicle but it actually runs great. Very easy to get in and out of and great visabiity since you sit so much higher. It seems so much bigger when you are in it than it looks on the outside. Don't be fooled, give it a try. It is so much fun to drive, great price, great deal!

Ok let me start I am 50 feel 30 till I look in mirror, ha ha. 5'11 210 pounds. I fit real nice in the trax lots and lots of leg room. The dash really turned me off and I know the 2017 is improved but my lease was up on my Toyota Rav and I had no choice. At first I wanted the encore but the lease on trax was better and I did not like the sticking up on the dash for the radio on the encore. But both are really the same well they have the same engine etc. The first day I drove it was a little sluggish coming out of rav I thought. At 400 miles maybe just me I noticed a little increase in pep (I think). Now after driving a month I find the pep just fine. I have done merging on highway, accelerated up hills and its fine. Its pretty quiet too. I actually like the sound of the engine now. I like the smooth shifting too. Its not a pocket rocket but when you need it it is there. Gas mileage was important to me and that I am thrilled with. Combined driving first tank I averaged 27.8 second 28 this last tank was 29.5 thats pretty good I feel with an AWD model. I do watch not heavy acceleration and drive gas mileage mindfully but in no means like a turtle. So far no problems, I know its early, fingers crossed. The interior a little bare like no hot cold engine temp gauge etc, but it actually grows on you easy simple. Radio is being redesigned for 2017 too but its ok and easy and back up camera very nice. The sound is very good for my tastes. Love having xm radio will not buy a car without having that available. Vision for driving is very good in my opinion and the a/c works good cools quick, etc. Remote start is great. I do not look forward to the winter but I hope the awd does well. I was getting about 25 to 26 in my rav this is smaller so I expected it to be a little better which it is. Ride is a little chop;py sometimes due to the short wheel base but all in all very good. On a couple stops where there is maybe a rough road or pothole you might feel the anti lock lkick in or a little funny feel on break pedal thats the only thing negative I noticed. Ok so bottom line if you want a decent fuel efficient little suv with not the most upscale interior but a roomy one that you get use too its a great little guy. 28 or more miles per gallon in good weather nice sounding stereo with xm remote start not a dragster but good enough and pep when you kick in the turo with harder acceleration easy to drive available AWD roomy front interior its a good choice Good crash test reviews I hope it is dependable and reliable and gm has some good little suv's finally!!

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!

This is great everyday vehicle for mixed city and highway conditions. The SUV is small and handles like a sedan which makes it fun and easy to drive. Steering is spot on and visibility out the front is great. I am 5'2" and can adjust the seat for a near perfect view of the hood so I get visual ques as to where I am on the road. The mirrors and large compared to the size of the Trax but give a great view. The only weird things I find are the manual mode (instead of 2nd and Low gears) which give the driver full control and a clutch-less manual shifting if desired. Manual mode seems to be a trend among auto manufacturers in newer vehicles. Another oddity is there is no way to manually lock or take it out of AWD. This is all handled by the vehicle itself. I am impressed by the automatic headlights, I never thought I would trust that technology but so far they work well.
