Just got this today, it’s my first car!
I'm a point A to point B driver. This is my third Trax. I live in a northern climate and my MPG on all three has average 25.8, mostly in town with a little hwy. Darty' little car easy to maneuver and squeeze around things. Nice safety ratings too.
We just bought a 2020 LT in Pacific Blue and love it
Awesome, congratulations! :)
I like the trax, I don’t care for the plastic around the wheel wells on the trailblazer. That’s a trend I don’t like, I like clean paint not plastic. I drive a 2019 equinox and I’m considering a 2022 trax for a lower lease payment.
I plan on financing this car sometime next year as my first car.
I did earlier this year and love it, no regrets so far
NO NO NO STOP! As another mechanic buddy I know said, avoid this car like coronavirus. You can get a VW Jetta with better interior quality + engine reliability with their Gen 3 2.0T engine and more power + standard bixenon headlights, or a Toyota Corolla (with all the previous I said with VW but the reliability is off the charts). Don't think about getting this GM trash with a 1.4L engine with unreliability frills, cheap GM plastic interior, reflector housing halogen headlights (how are xenons not standard now?) just plain ugly looks and dimensions.
It amazes me with some of the repair jobs as well. On GMs cars, the water pumps(which are known to prematurely fail) are located on the side of the engine like a BMW! You're looking at about $900 just for a water pump replacement on a GM engine. I'd HIGHLY recommend you stop. Either buy a CPO Toyota or VW, or if you REALLY want the experience of buying a brand new car, VW or Toyota. About the same price but so much better than this hunk of GM trash (or really any other GM car except their performance engines).
I like the Trax as a point A to B vehicle for basic transportation. I plan on buying a used one from a car rental company.
They are perfect for it!
Just read that the 2021 Trax is also getting an updated engine, it will be using the le2 that was first introduced in the Cruze 2016.
Very interesting, not sure how I missed that. Direct Injection should help
I have a 2018 Cruze which I bought brand new and the engine sounds and runs like a car with 300k miles. So much pinging and gurgling from the engine when accelerating.
@@markjou9799 I have a 2016 Cruze, Gen 2, I bought used and am the 3rd owner with 60K now and it runs great. Do you run 87 gas?
@@GeneralJameson Yes I run 87. You dont notice any pinging or gurgling at all under acceleration? Also what rpm range do you usually take off in?
@@markjou9799 I sometimes take off under boost like 1500-2000rpm gotta break them tires loose lol. But even under normal every day driving it is very smooth even the auto start stop is almost unnoticeable in most situations. Try some good fuel cleaner, I use gumout all in one, and run some premium 93 shell gas and see if their is a change.
Yeah, the Trailblazer would be a more attractive choice due to the newer platform. I think the Trailblazer is at its internship while they phase out the tools and re-organize the assembly lines for the Trailblazer. RIP Chevrolet Trax. I think Chevrolet can really make it in the sub compact cross-over market if they can set the price right.
I love your videos great job, I have the bright red 2016 LT trax and was thinking that I haven't seen that color in a long time but after watching your video I now know why.
I love mine Trax 2018
I bought a ecosport instead because it has a 2000lb tow capacity. Most official chevy sites like dealers state that the trax is not recommended to tow with. This was a consideration because although we have trucks as well sometimes its nice to have a small vehicle/trailer to tow an atv or two instead of bringing the f250/20ft trailer. That being said I also own a chevy spark and after putting 70k on it the vehicle has been dead reliable. The trax shares many of the design and parts as the spark and most seem to think its reliable too. Therefore later this year my wife's upgrade will probably be a Trax. I think it beats the trailblazer because of the deep rebates for previous year models and longer track record.
Just an update. I did my first tow with my ecosport and 12ft trailer with two full size 4x4 quads on it. Weight would have been right at 2000lbs. The vehicle was nice and stable. I did have to go into manual shift mode to keep it from going into 6th gear but it pulled at speed just fine through the hills here. I wouldn't want to go through mountains with it but I was pretty impress overall.
I've been looking into getting one, the Trax LT awd is 2k cheaper with some options VS the trailblazer LT FWD without those options, and where I live in Canada it's a very poor decision to go with the FWD when AWD is available.
Not if you're not a terrible driver.
How does it drive in rain in snow I want the fwd
Biggest reason why I won't buy the Trailblazer - 3-cylinder. They made it real sharp looking but the performance is just poor.
Have they addressed the lemon heater problem? Where I worked we had one where it had been back 9 times for the issue
hmm, not sure exactly what you're referring to but we haven't had any issues with overheating on the Trax
Is it possible to buy or upgrade packages for the Trax after you bought it? I wish Chevy would have upgraded the headlight to HID or LED on the LT trim, looks cheap with the Halogen Bulbs
Aftermarket upgrades are always an option but could void your warranty. GM doesn't really offer much for it unfortunately :(
We have a 2020 chevy trax ls on lease and I don't totally hate it but I won't get another one constant clunking from the front suspension had it to dealership twice they replaced the strut mounts was good for a few days and started again engine power sucks only 5,637 miles on it
I owned the first year Trax not bad but I prefer the Ecosport in looks and most importantly to me the higher ground clearance.
What kind of headlights? LED or?
A couple different kinds of Halogens, this video goes more into the differences and where you'll find each on the Trax:

Nobody mentions the 20yr/20k mile warranty
اولا شكرا على حسن التوضيح انا حبيت تراكس واشتريت لان سياره متواضعه وجميله
You remind me that before Covid and the loss of my mom I was looking into the new Trailblazer. It appeared to be cheaper than the more expensive ones when I looked at it. However, when I went to the dealership a family friend suggested the Trax for the reasons you mentioned and it appeared much cheaper, but wasn't in a position to do any research and forgot about it . My 2006 Trailblazer wouldn't pass inspection. I've had it for less than a week and love it for the kind of driving I do. Plus, I can get in and out of places a lot better than I did with my Trailblazer. I miss the room inside though, but am getting used to it. I have two questions. Does the rear window actually open and how do you do that? LOL. Also, Does the LT model have a "secret compartment" like others do? I think it's a great idea for when you might want to put valuables like a wallet in there for trips to the beach or something. Great review! Thanks.
@49Macman thank you for the feedback and my condolences to you and your family. The Trax is still super popular and even though the MSRP is essentially the same as the new Trailblazer, the rebates are VERY different making the Trax a VERY good deal! Unfortunately, no, the back window doesn't open on it's own. The only secret compartment I can think of is the storage bin underneath the front passenger seat.
@@KBCarsChevyChannel Thank You for your quick reply ind words of condolences and answering my questions. I do love the Trax LT that I have, but I'm really not sure if I got a good deal by what happened at the dealership. My 2006 Trailblazer didn't pass inspection. Inspection needed $2,500 to pass and this was before they look at all the codes. Their was a man that I had developed trust in who never even told me what he did until it came up later...even more of a reason to trust him. However, I dealt with a different person, which leads me to believe that he got a cut of the money by bringing people there. I wasn't able to do a lot of research as my computer was down in addition to the inspection and mom passing so I might have gotten a good deal, but my spidey sense I didn't because I needed a vehicle a.s.a.p. Well, you can't go back! Eventually I will just look at what I am driving with and enjoying the positives. Thanks again! I wish the best for you and your sales.

With all due respect, your review wasn't totally honest and I have some "buyer beware"... I have a 2015 Trax -- the engine is too small, turbo is too sensitive/jumpy (it jumps/accelerates without touching the pedal), the trunk space is tiny so forget about fitting all your family's groceries in, and the suspension is so tight that it SLAMS into every bump. Handling is great, but that's because of the suspension. You can say it has great cargo space, but you did not mention that it requires you to fold down 3 seats so you can't really have passengers then. The seats do not fold flat - when you pull that tab and pull out the bottom half of the seat, the seat sticks up and does not allow you to fold the top half flat. Not trying to be rude, but just thought potential buyers should be aware of these things. I urge every buyer to look in-depth for themselves at what I mentioned. But there's better vehicles at similar price range. I hope the Trax ends because I'll throw a party 😅
You did look at what you were buying, right? It isn't a Traverse.
kfercat...exactly!
Just got this today, it’s my first car!
Awesome, Congratulations! :)
