Worst vehicle I have ever owned.

I and my wife have purchased 3 vehicels from Classic Chevrolet in Lake City Michigan. This was the final straw with purchasing a 2018 and wanting a dependable care it has utterly failed. 56 days down at service and counting 3 times for electrical and transmission issues. I will never purchase a GM product ever again! A 30,000 mistake. Mike and Nicole

5 months with our Trax

We've had our Trax 5 months now. This is a great small SUV. Not great but good gas mileage. Plenty of zip for my wife and I. The car is great looking and the interior is easy to use. Good sound system but newer cars no longer have CD players but we already transferred all our CD'S onto a flash drive to play in a USB port. A front console would have been nice but there's a small storage drawer under the front passenger seat. The small armrest is cheap but usable. The car is easy to drive. Cabinet noise is not bad. All in all we're happy with our Trax and hope to get many years out of it.

Disagree with the negative reviews, I love this car! It’s cute, functional, fun to drive, comfortable, and it fits me. I can see out of it really well!

Very roomy for a small SUV.

I bought this SUV to drive back and forth from work. I wanted something small but roomy to. And for a better price than what I could find one equipped around this are.

I'm not happy about this car.

I only have 6 months with this car (2018) and it's braking already. There's an oil mess on the engine, the windshield has a crack, the grill its broken, the doors are not smooth when open and closed them, the engine its weak, the screen sometimes doesn't turn on when the car is on, the a/c takes forever to kick in. Overall a bad Chevy car. Of course it's a Chevy.

Horrible

Purchased my 2018 Chevy Trax in March of 2018. Operated wonderful for the first 300 miles. Then it started to hesitate when first taking off. Took it to the dealer and they said drive it till the engine goes through its break in period. I did and it steadily became more common. Then I took it back to service and the Dealer informed me that it was normal for the car to hesitate like it did. There's nothing that scares you more then when you're trying to make a left hand turn when traffic is busy and you don't know if your car is going to stall or go.

Horrible front seats and engine

This car or lame duck used to be okay for the first month now I hate making the payments. Front drivers seat is falling apart and the lower foam support has become uneven and flat. The only time it isn't as flat is when the seat is as low as it can go to the floor. I'm 6'3". 210lbs so the seat foam and creaking noise from the seat isn't from my stature. Just bad quality. Engine....plain put it is lame it hesitates, vibrates strangely, gets horrible gas mileage (16.7 mpg). Turbo is literally non existent in the upper RPM, all noise no go. Wife likes it so that is good at least but I don't plan on ever buying another GM.

Safe car

I love this car. It does great in the snow, it sits up higher and just plows through it. The rear camera shows up very clear. It's great on gas, I bought it a week ago and haven't had to fill up yet.
