Active Little SUV

By Lizzy written on 08-15-2016

This little SUV is GREAT! I drove a Toyota Sequoia for several years before this but the gas mileage (14-19mpg) was beginning to be a beating with how much city driving I do. I'm an active women in my late 20's and I wanted something that got great gas Milage and could keep up with my life style with out having to fill the tank every 3 or 4 days. After months of car shopping and research it came down to The Trax or the Jeep Renegade. So I test drove an LT and LTZ. Got to test drive it (in the rain) and was very impressed with the handling!! The Other thing I liked better than the Renegade was the Trax is a smoother and more quiet ride. The Trax wasVERY quiet, my Sequoia was noisy and I had thought the Renegade was quiet until I rode in the Trax. My husband rode in the back during the jeep and trax test drive and said it felt like the jeep was "rocking" on low-grade turns or I wasn't holding it straight even though I was driving normally. Also, the interior feels very open (especially with the sun roof) which I like and it has fewer blind spots than the Sequoia or Renegade. It also can comfortably fit 5 people (I know, I was shocked too), but 4 is ideal with the cup holder center in the back! With the plug in the back (regular plug, not car charger) my friends can charge their phones with out having to hand them to me in the front! The handling is also awesome on tight turns and wet roads. I bought the maxed out option LT because I liked the cloth and leather trim seates better (easier to get dirt out, but no heater seats) and the sun and sound package was exactly what I was looking for!!! I wanted a bright color car (no black, white, or silver) so I got the metallic rock orange and it looks great! The color is bright but not too intense like a yellow or those bright green cars. I've had it for a few months now and the Bose system has awesome sound and makes a huge difference in the sound quality of my music. The sun roof and luggage rack are an added bonus. As far as storage, I thought I would miss the center console but I don't at all!! Plenty of cup holders and the drawer under the passangers seat is by far my favorite thing!! The cover for the cargo area is great at well you can leave anything in the trunk section and no one can see it! All the seats including front passenger fold down so you can fit a paddle board in it! Bikes, Golf clubs, and rifles fit easily as well. The rear park assist and back up camera make it so much easier to back in to parking spots (we are required to at work), as well as parallel park. I love the fact that it has a regular plug in the back seat for my laptop and other electronics that aren't really comparable with the USB or car charging. On the passenger side above the glovebox it had a little compartment you can plug your phone in to USB or AC cord to play music and shut the phone in there and control it from the steering wheel or touch screen. The slits on the either side of the radio are Great for hold your phone as well!! They are both rubber lined so it doesn't slide around. Sunglasses holder can hold 2 or 3 paid easily. The remote start has been amazing for these hot Texas summers!! The My Link interface isn't my favorite but I like it a lot better than Toyotas, the option to not set a "main phone" is annoying when my husbands or friends phones connects via Bluetooth before mine. I also wish it had Car Play but that's a minor loss and personal preference. My only regret it that I opted out of the 18" wheels, would have been nice to be up just alittle higher and have alittle more clearance on trails or curb hopping to park. I didn't get the AWD because the gas Milage went down with that option, I miss not having it but it's not that big of a deal. Overall, I would say it's a great little SUV if your looking for something fuel efficient but want an SUV with a decent amount of cargo space this is definitely a great option!!

Trax making Tracks

By Debbie written on 06-30-2016

Small on the outside, but feels roomy inside. Great gas mileage. Love this little car. I would buy again.

Traxx is awesome

By Ann in Wis written on 10-23-2016

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 though ahhhh but now I love it

By jt3451 written on 06-10-2016

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!!

Love my 2016 Trax LT

By Jak written on 10-16-2016

Did much research before buying this car. Loved the safety ratings and the price for a sub compact SUV. Our LT model came with leather trim, Boise speakers, lumbar support and On Star, Xm radio and really appreciate the ease of use for navigation and touch screen and remote start (even from my phone). WLMorris Chevrolet made the whole car buying experience painless.
