    Purchased this car as a reliable vehicle for my kid to drive while a long distance away at college. It has been everything but reliable. Constant issues with the engine turbo and sensors. My other kid got a Hyundai and we have had 0 issues. I will not buy another Chevy. I have owned many brands of cars and they have never had issues like this car.

    Great place

    I had the opportunity to meet Mike. His warm and caring demeanor put me at ease when buying my son‘s first car. He was knowledgeable and explained the car details. Great personality.

    Code of death

    Purchased new in 2018. No major issues until the dreaded turbo code at almost 73,000 miles. With still owing over $11,000 on it, I choose to trade it in. Up until that point, it was a good car. Once the turbo goes it opens up a can of worms. It stinks because it’s the same problem that the Cruze had with the turbo. My son is a mechanic and won’t touch his Cruze because once you start fiddling with it, these things go to xxxx quick. GM knew about it, and did not offer any recalls on the vehicle. I chose a Honda because of its value, longevity, and reliability. If at all possible, I will not purchase another GM product.

    So far so good

    I downsized from a 3 row/8 seater chevy traverse Lt to a basic chevy trax, nothing fancy. I like the familiarity of all the chevy vehicles, it made it easier to transition. This is a great little sporty car. Its a mix of suv look with car storage. Its not as fast as my other car, but the gas mileage seems great. I've only had it for a month though.

    One of many Chevys I have owned.

    I purchased this car used from Sunrise Chevrolet, in Glendale Heights Il. After checking it out with a test drive, I found that it had just what I needed for my short drives. It handles well, is great on gas, Looks like new, and has a lot of pickup. I am retired so this car fits the bill to a tee. As a certified car, they through in a one year Bumper to Bumper Warrantee. I am pleased.

    I'm impressed with this car. Bigger on the inside than it looks and very smooth. If it only had a CD player :-) it would be perfect.

    Beautiful SUV with low mileage.

    Meets all my needs, beautiful, handles with ease...new tires and everything I wanted. Keyless entry, hands free Bluetooth, stereo system is awesome and low mileage. Quality vehicle for sure. Price was so reasonable!
