Excellent Value

I traded up from a Mustang so the performance is a bit sobering but I needed cargo space so sacrificing performance was worth it. Overall, it's a fine car and I'm very happy with it.

Best Value for the $

It's a great commuter car. It has everything I need to get around and it has a lot of options for a base model. I have read several reviews that poo-poo it as being sluggish, ugly and not very well made, but they are trying to compare it to a high-end SUV (I guess). I get a great throttle response and it is quick and nimble enough to snake through traffic on the freeway. It will chirp the tires from a standing start, which is pretty good for a 4-banger. It does have a bit of a buzz at full throttle, but what car/truck/suv doesn't make noise when you mash the pedal. The car shows that it is currently getting an average of 31.1 MPG over 42k miles so it is good on gas too. For a base model it does have a touch screen "infotainment" screen with Andoid Auto/apple carplay, driver info center on the dash, several USB ports, line-in, traction control, hill start, and a few other options.

Biggest piece of crap!

This vehicle has been the biggest nightmare and Chevrolet/General Motors won't work with me to repair the issues! Multiple repairs and still having issues - I do not feel safe driving the vehicle!

Don't purchase a Lemon

Trax not only had control arm recall, but the transfer case failed and seized. The dealership had it for five months and when we finally got it back it's still acting like it wants to seize again. Also will not go past 3rpmed at all when the engine is revved. Do not buy this car is a death trap waiting to happen .

Biggest mistake of my life

The car is just a piece of xxxx. I have had nothing but issues with the car since I bought it. I have spent over 8 hours on the phone with GM about the issues and they refused to help. The biggest issue with this car is that it cannot handle winter. The cold causes the sensor to freeze causing the check engine light to come on. GM tried to "fix" the issue in my car a total of 3 times now. The other issues include collision alert going off randomly, check engine light coming on, side detection not working, engine randomly shutting off in traffic, high revving in the highway along with a million other problems. Currently waiting to get my car fixed right now. For anyone thinking about buying a GM car out there MAKE BETTER DECISIONS!

RELIABLE AND FUEL EFFICIENT

I love my Chevy Trax. Its truly my life. Its reliable, dependable and very fuel efficient. With the gas prices going up this CUV is perfect for hwy driving as well as inner city. If your ever in the market for a vehicle this crossover is the perfect one.
