Reviewing the Chevy TRAX

While my wife enjoys small cars but the need for a larger family vehicle this met our needs and exceeded our expectations. The reverse camera is solid and for my wife a necessity. The charging port and Bluetooth connectivity as well as the WiFi that is reasonably price are all bonuses. This SUV style vehicle meets more than what?s desired, with many modern amenities to make driving safe even for the most inexperienced drivers. What I really like going from the familiarity of a Chevy to another the features were kept very consistent and easy to take to an immediate real driving experience. While saving fuel but with a turbo to give an easy transition with more than enough power in city traffic but also on the highway. The storage space is sufficient and well placed. Well cohesive design meets and exceeds everyday uses.

Smaller SUV drives beautifully

Love how it drives! So smooth and I think I'll get good gas mileage. Love the compactness, AWD very important to me. Many years of happy driving to come.

Worst car I have ever been in

It's been in the garage more than I've been able to drive.DO NOT BUY! They have "fixed" everything and it still can't go up hills.

I would like a little power to get out into traffic, but it gets up a moves with out any problem after few seconds. Very happy with this vehicle. A great mid size SUV.

Satisfied new owner

After test driving a 2015 Buick Encore, I took the Trax for a spin. Comparable to the Encore, the Trax had better power and a smooth ride. Don't let the 1.4 L Turbocharged engine dissuade you, it has awesome power for a sub compact suv!

Small but spacious

Does not have all the bells and whistles like an equinox. Great car for its size and city parking. Husband drives it for commuting. Better gas mileage

I think I?m really going to enjoy this vehicle.

It has a very stylish interior. I?m excited about the MPG average. The truck is not too big for handling. I also love the Bose speaker brand option.

Not a bad ride

This car is smaller on the inside, roomy but no extra space. Small cargo area. Several hidden compartments which are nice. Gas mileage is not as good as advertised. Was told 26 in town. I get 24.

I'm in love!

This car is phenomenal! A lot of babg for such a great price! For any doctor who fans out there, it's my own Tardis; it's bigger on the inside! I have had many vehicles, both owned and leased, and this is my favorite!
