This is a city commuter vehicle. It's not really meant for performance, it's meant to get you around urban surroundings efficiently. Yes, it's small, but it looks like it would be a piece of cake to park in the city, too.
This car is perfect for like a young couple with one kid living in a condo. It's cheap, big enough to put diapers and strollers, Small enough to park in a that one car garage space. And you won't feel like you are missing out on the Technology. And if you get this model in two year it'll be a steal cause the price will drop to about 15-18,000 Cnet style.
Wish we read this before we purchased 2016. Dumbest thing ever created a car with no cruise control. Just want a radio that plays!!! Stupid back up camera, who cares... Anyone want a brand new 2016 Trax??? First brand new car ever purchased, had it for 3 weeks and cant wait to get rid of it. Worst move ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every car made from now on should come standard with cruise control. You shouldn't have to upgrade on a trim level for it. There are car made 10 years ago that has cruise control.
Josh Mckinnley I do a lot of highway driving, but I get what you're saying, because I never use it in the city, besides , Cruise control doesn't normally work unless you're 25 mph or more
Seems like it's not a bad car, it just doesn't look the best. Driving dynamics don't really matter anyway when you buy a crossover at this price point.
This is basically the result of General Motors buying out Daewoo, which was who built the Aveo which Chevy would rebrand as its own. This car just screams buy a Rav4 since the price is comparable for similar features, has a larger second row, is more reliable, has better leg room, and has a center console (which the trax lacks altogether). Not to mention a more powerful engine; that 1.4 is tragic at best.
I'm having a problem with acceleration. I have a "turbo" one, but it's like it doesn't accelerate, it just drags. If you don't hit the gas hard the first time, you'll be dragging a$$ the entire drive. But when you do accelerate, it takes off like a rocket. But the minute you slow down, it will not take off the same way again and will drag. Am I doing something wrong? I'll have the gas pedal on the floor and it drags a$$ and even sometimes slows down. I couldn't get it above 25 mph going up a small inclined hill.
Amanda M Turbos have a lot of power when you're in the right gear and rpm range, usually in the mid 2000s. If your car can shift, I'd suggest using lower gears when climbing a hill.
I liked ass up until the front it kinda reminds me of the old aveo hey chevy I thought your were putting ugly behind you?....although to be fair give them credit for the interior GM has really stepped up their game there as well as outside with all their cars exactly except the trax change the front end before its first year and I'll be happy
Seth Porter It's up to the manufacturer to decide which vehicle and which trim they want to give the reviewer. I doubt CNET had anything to do with the car.
