Really Great Car

This car has so many wonderful features. I am still learning about new ones each day. I love how comfortable the seats are and all the legroom and headroom. It could use more storage compartments in the front, though. But it handles like a dream.

My first subcompact SUV

It has excellent maneuverability , i am able to do any kind of turns and u-turns on it, with minimal space around me. Gas economy satisfactory. Two minor complaints. Car very noisy inside, and it becomes more noisy as i go faster. Feels like bottom of car made of the cardboard and i can hear asphalt noises without any interference. Number two - its indeed bumpy ride. My other car, minivan, glides over even larger imperfections (lets call it that) on the road, but in Trax i can feel them all, starting from scratch and ending with bumping my head (i am on a tall side) on potholes if i am not careful. Back seats offer limited space, feels like they could do better job with seating. If you have anyone in family on a tall side OR heavy, car likely can sit only 2 people in the back without resorting to "family hug". Do i wish i would get some of its competitors instead? Maybe. But its growing on me regardless.

Most frustration I’ve had since I’ve had this car.

It has been a problem since I’ve had it. It’s too small and makes me feel carsick when I drive it. It has had different issues like recall Where car was kept in shop for like 8 weeks, screen display going black randomly

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR

I traded in my Captiva, which was a lemon from the beginning, for a similar smaller SUV. Within 2 weeks of buying it NEW, with only 9 miles on it, I had it in the shop. The braking system is stupid loud, to where people actually look when I stop. I took it to 2 different dealer in Cincinnati and they both said they 'couldn't find anything'. Then not even 3 months later, the steering wheel 'leather' began cracking and peeling. They replaced it, and not even a week later it is doing it again! I am pursing the lemon law, and hoping I can get out of this Chevy nightmare!

Nice little SUV

Rides better and is quieter than I expected. Very nimble around town and solid on the highway. I'm looking forward to my first snowfall experience! Wheeeeee!

SMALL ENGINE

Over all it's ok! The engine size is way too small a 1.4, the too small for a all wheel drive car. The fuel mileage is not the greatest, 25 to 27 miles per gal. The price is also somewhat high.

I like my lil gogo

From going to a full size fully loaded truck,down to a lil car/suv I can't complain on gas mileage I do miss all my bells and whistles on the truck but I have what I really need as far as back up camera and Bluetooth. The comfort isn't bad and the boys have room in the back for now.Iam glad it has the plug in the boys really needed that.so as far as small payments and comfort IAM not going to complain.but if you travel for work I do recommend for gas not so much on comfort.

This is the second Trax I have owned. Love them!

The Chevy Trax is affordable and a reliable small SUV. It gets great gas mileage and the back seats are easy to put down if you need to load a large item.

Great car for the money

This car was for our 16 year old. It is perfect for her! Sits higher than a car but very easy for her to dive.

It's the most reliable daily car I've owned!

It's working well, small but powerful, fun to drive and good looking! What I need from my daily car all in my 2019 Chevy Trax Premier!
