this vehicle has the right amount of power for most people, not everyone needs a lot of hp just to commute around town or go out of town.

[@jjstuartonwriting8150]

As an older guy who doesn't drive fast, but finds it difficult getting in and out of a small car, this seems to be a great alternative for something bigger, but not too big. My only concern is the reliability of a 3 cylinder turbo. I'd imagine you'd have to follow the maintenance religiously, like oil changes every 3 months or 5000km.

[@CarDietrich]

Personally I wouldn’t worry about the reliability of the three cylinder. It has less moving parts than a four and it is not overmatched by this small car. As long as you follow the factory maintenance schedule and check the oil levels in between oil changes, and top it off if need be, I think it will be fine long term.

[@allenstevenson5986]

​@@CarDietrichit has a WET TIMING BELT. anyone should buy an extended warranty. Of you don't your SOL. Google wet timing belts and you will see.

[@enmass90]

The main reliability concern about this engine is the wet timing belt. It seems like a pain in the ass to replace.

[@RIVERSIDEREVIEWS]

Maybe im weird but i've always wanted a 3cyc ever since the Geo Metro. ....I used to drive air cooled VW's but most vehicles i've owned these days have overkill V6's and V8's with abysmal gas mileage that are so complex under the hood I could barely fix them if broke down .... sure 'power' can be nice but i'm questioning how much engine a truly need for daily driving going from point A to point B given the higher gas prices and upkeep these days. .... My 1.5L / 1500cc Vw only had 53hp and even in modern traffic I never had any trouble .... I really like what they've done with the Trax / Envista.

[@CarDietrich]

Three bangers are good little engines, less moving parts than four cylinders and with modern technology they still make decent power

[@lasvegaslife5770]

Haha so funny u say that about the 3 banger geo metro!!!! Ive always wanted a 3 cylinder since the geo metro haha I'm buying one of these 3 cylinder trax asap.

[@Fiendstein]

Ive had my brand new sterling grey 2025 for 2 days now and im so in love with it

[@jayczyzyk9707]

There’s way more cars. Here in Utah I’ll drive at 11:30 PM, and hoards of people are still on the roads. Don’t even get me started on Friday night traffic.

[@kcrlaterbye]

I picked up a 2025 2RS this past July, 2024. So far I love it...

[@ChristSotos-fy4vw]

I was watching speedometer and you went from 67 mph to 80 about 3.5 seconds not too bad for a $23,595 vehicle would you want your high school child to go any faster or the wife for that mater😂😂

[@CarDietrich]

The speed limit on that highway is 110 just for the record

[@Denspion]

post covid yes, I work in an airport... we're in our slow period, but we're actually just as busy now as we were in the summer. No one is staying home anymore.

[@msgreenjojo60pg]

You didn't say that about nissan kicks. I can't decide between trax which looks great or nissan kicks better mpg

[@hypershadow87]

*Your hands move an excessively odd amount to the left and right as both of them are on the steering wheel. I've never experienced that myself or seen that unless I was driving a super old beat up vehicle or the person themselves was an overly nervous driver. Your hands should be relatively still and relaxed for the most part, but that's obvious. Was there something wrong with the Trax you were driving?*

[@CarDietrich]

No, for some reason that’s just how I do it

[@JhovanniP]

Noone has mention it but I have 24 1rs and it might be the ride height or the light weight but at 73mph+ and a little wind it it feels unstable. Other than that great car just keep both hand on steering wheel on the highway

[@Yanks6786]

I really like these just wish they had more power. Hopefully they’ll make some with performance upgrades.

[@RIVERSIDEREVIEWS]

I came across your channel because I was looking into getting a Chevy Trax / Buick Envista as a UBER/DoorDash/Work/Commuter vehicle over a Mitsubishi Mirage. You do excellent reviews very much appreciated. I subscribed when I saw the "YOLO" :)

[@CarDietrich]

Thank you very much!

[@cormaro13]

You’re going to be taking it back to the service real quick for the problems it has😂

[@HisSacredLove]

I'm trying to decide which one I want En Vista vs Trax

[@mcmikaelbeats3732]

​@@cormaro13really which problems this vehicle have

I have a 2RS and i love it!

[@cormaro13]

U must like low quality 😂 especially with this piece of crap already have a bundle of recalls

[@DJGAMINGRocks]

Ohh ​@@cormaro13 which recall💀? I have this beauty from 3 months, there's no recall brother

[@Tyk-p5j]

What is the difference between active and R2?

[@timp1051]

I think these are really nice. I always wondered how the motor handles steep inclines.

[@fredgilbert2032]

@@Tyk-p5j 2RS and Activ are equal trim levels basically just 2 different appearance packages. So trim levels are LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS/Activ.

[@ericdolby1622]

I think the engine is from Mexico.

[@southbayla3137]

You shouldn’t be driving you hands are too shaky

[@LeonLeybs666]

For the owners for this vehicle... I see the display is angled towards the driver. Is this angle passenger friendly? Would the front-seat passenger be able to easily access this display for things like radio station selection or other functionality?

[@CarDietrich]

If they wanted to they still could get to those controls, it’s a relatively small car so it’s not too far of a reach

[@mjrtensepian1727]

You drive like you’re in some old time movie; where the passing scenery was front-projected, and actors moved the wheel a bunch so it looks like they’re actually doing something. Long been a joke, but you have chosen to emulate it, apparently?

[@timp1051]

How does the engine handle steep grades?

[@CarDietrich]

I would imagine pretty well for its size, based on the torque and the fact that the turbocharger will negate most of the power loss at higher elevations

[@msgreenjojo60pg]

Would buy chevy trax or kia soul

[@allsensegamer6396]

The way he holding and swaying the steering wheel, seems like he want to do the dash but it only do 115

[@delharold6753]

Bro you not Krazy i\ts more cars on the roads now. I’m in Florida

[@somerdae4060]

Hey in my old neck of the woods lol 😆

[@Tyk-p5j]

What is the difference between active and R2?

[@Mehpew]

2RS looks sportier and has a 19" wheels. Active has 18" wheels. No other difference

[@AF-ib8ec]

ikr, with all the people who died from covid, how can there be more people driving on the road ? where did they come from ? it's not like more young people got their driving licenses because the young people I know don't even want to get there's and they're getting up there in age and want to be chauffered around.

[@CarDietrich]

And all the supposed working from home. It is odd

[@hjer731]

Everyone bought cars instead of taking transportation

[@DefundTheFringes]

80 MPH wastes too much fuel in any vehicle. Wait until the Permian peaks and the usual whiners blame it on the gubmint.

[@cormaro13]

Chevy junk , get a Mazda already people

[@jayson657]

I looked at at Trax 2RS specifically because I was looking for something affordable, it was advertised at $25,600. When I got to the Chevy dealer it had a $2500 “market adjustment” making it $28,100. I laughed in the Chevy salesman’s face. I ended up getting a Mazda CX-30 carbon edition AWD for $28,500. For $400 more I got a 2.5 L 4 cylinder with 54 more hp (191 hp), All wheel drive, dual tipped exhaust, a red real leather interior and a sun roof.

[@cormaro13]

@@jayson657 good man , u made me lol when I read laughed in chevy face cause no one paying a market adjustment for a piece of junk trax 😂 I just got rid of my cx30 at 40k mileage for a Toyota crown needing more gas but still miss the Mazda It’s a fun little crossover

[@toddreaker2298]

3 cylinder. What a joke GM has become.

[@STORMZ8]

Ford, Toyota and pretty every manufacturer outside of the US uses 3cyl engines.

[@faraon2012]

i say, Chevrolet trash 😂
