Better than I expected!
I selected the Trax AWD LS because it was the cheapest SUV like car at the dealer's lot. WOW, this car rides and handles head and shoulders above my trade-in, a 2017 Chevy Spark. Driving in city traffic this car is definitely not under powered. But what I really like is how well you can see all around with the taller Trax with large tinted windows. The rear camera is amazing, and my neck thanks it. It came standard with cruise control, power everything. The handling is tight, much better than my wife's chevy HHR hatchback. The trunk space is adequately large, but rear seat leg room is only good for young people. The front seats are more comfortable than the HHR. Overall, I am very satisfied for value, functionality & comfort. I hope it will be as durable as the 2011 HHR which is amazing trouble free for 11 years.
Great suv for the dollar
Shop around for comparison.

Good Basic Transportation with Good Mileage
Rented a Trax for 4 days and found it good, no-frills, basic transportation. As one of the lowest priced SUVs you can buy, there’s a few bells and whistles missing (like a center console which is strange! It has 4 cup holders in its place). Mileage was good (29 City/Hwy combined) and the 6 speed transmission was smoother shifting than the Toyota RAV 4 and Hyundai Tucson I’d recently rented. Engine and road noise was a little more pronounced than other cars I’ve driven, but I was still impressed with its handling and Apple CarPlay integration. This is certainly an easy car to drive. I’d certainly buy one for my my daughters to drive. No problems at all with the vehicle that had 31,000 miles on its odometer.

Underwhelming
Underwhelming, that’s the best word to describe this car. I would suggest test driving something else before even considering this one. With this car, Chevy did what it always does, makes a very cheap barely viable vehicle, and charges way too much for it. If it was 11 or $12,000 brand new I’d say fine. But for 20+ thousand dollars, virtually any other car in this class is better. The first thing I would suggest is do not pop the hood and look at the engine, you may have a hard time finding it. It’s the size of a shoebox, literally, which is why they had to turbo charge it just to get it up to 130 hp, which is probably overestimated by at least 10 to 15 hp as per usual . The seats are incredibly uncomfortable, there’s not enough room in the Back for anything other than three or four grocery bags. It’s ride is comparable to a go cart. Chevy loyalists are like Detroit Lions fans, they know their team is going to get killed but they go anyway. I urge all of you Chevy loyalists to avoid this car at all costs, Chevy doesn’t make great cars in the first place, and this car doesn’t even measure up to that standard. You’ve been warned.

Rental Car - Booooo!!!
Ugly. Underpowered. No cruise control. Steering wheel incredibly touchy. Windshield wipers not intuitive. I curse this car and the company that designed and built it. Yuck.
