WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY! Why NOT to buy a 2024 Chevy Trax

[@eljacome]

I appreciate you spending your time and effort to upload an honest review about your time with this car, you'll get a lot of "hate" in the comments, but that's what happens when people see you don't like the things they like, keep up the good work

[@BlakesCars2]

Yeah I appreciate the comment. I’ve gotten death threats from this video and I just don’t understand the rage. I explained many times this was the cheapest model GM produces and people still have issues. I for one am thankful I was able to sell the trax shorty after this video and virtually loose no money. Even if I could keep one person from buying this car it was well worth it to make. Dissipate this being the cheapest model, there are still things that it should have that it simply doesn’t.

Nice looking inside and out, but no hybrid option, mediocre mpg for segment, and many hybrids available in segment for a bit more money. No AWD is problem for those living snowy, hilly area.

You basically disqualified yourself with the review. Your other videos are Sportscars. This is a cuv. You talked about going 90mph which is against the law. Also you said you hit your head getting in.. I am 6'1" and have zero issue. The value of the price for a brand new vehicle is undeniable. You also got the lowest trim. Try a 2 RS. Also putting the steering wheel in your lap isn't normal. Been out for a year and a half overseas and nobody made the same comments you did.. No professional reviewers did either. Whatever you end up buying iam going to check every complaint price and also recalls. If a single online review states these issues you should quit posting reviews like this.

I think your expectations are unreasonable for a sub 25k car and from the interior shots looks almost like basic one at 22k… I would like any car that price to have any of the things you gripped over the trax about…it just don’t exist especially from domestic automakers

[@markscott5421]

You tube reviews are always fun to watch how biased the utuber is...this person is or presenting how he hates the Trax but yet he lives in the higher end world of cars....has no clue that $22k cuv shouldn't be compared to the sports cars and other toys he drives. I have two friends who have a 2020 and 2022 Trax's and they love them the one friend is hard on cars and that 2020 hasn't missed a beat. Granted it's a 4cyl 1.4 like what i hand in my 2016 Cruze which I liked very much and yes the transmission didn't downshift quick enough because they are set to only downshift if necessary for fuel economy. And that is something I don't like either. I have a 2022 Buick encore gx with the 1.2 and a cvt and it scoots down the road with no problems at all and yes I have had it up to 93 mph on the interstate and it's running just fine. I get an average of 31 mpg and lots of my driving is in my small town as everything I need is within 2 miles of my house. The trailblazer is a step up from the Trax like it's suppose to be!!! The trax is doing what it's designed for getting around to your destination and in higher trim levels in more comfort. I'm old so I remember if wanted a basic Chevy you bought the Biscayne, wanted some bells and whistles, you bought the Impala and paid the price difference. The Trax is going to sell quite well as it fits a need right now of an affordable cuv that is cheap to keep.

[@deepthinker999]

Don't forget the Chevy Bel Air. I'm old too.

[@KayShell-o6k]

Love my 2024 Trax 1RS also

[@franklopez9219]

My new 2024 trax has close to 1000 miles and so far so good. It's an upgrade to my 2018 Chevrolet cruze. I noticed he had the switch blade key which I decided I wanted the push button start. I'm not a lead foot driver plus I love to coast to all red lights and stop signs so my gas mileage is 30 mph and better. When I looked under the hood the engine has turbo stamped on it and it does get up and go. It does have all the Bells and whistles when driving. Both outside mirrors warn you of side traffic and warns you of the car in front of you with red blinking dots on the windshield. Only thing I would complain about is having to use my signals when switching lanes because it has a safety traction control to keep you in your lane and there is a little resistance when switching lanes. For those of you that text and drive great safety.

[@JimmyMRollins]

I have 2024 Trax Activ going on 7 months. The only I have the bothers the hell out of me is CarPlay and that sometimes the bluetooth doesn't communicate that good to my iPhone. So I have turn the car off and wait for the screen to turn completely off and then start it back and it's working again. With the price point of the Trax I didn't expect the throttle response to be that of a sports car. Steering is great and feels way better than a 2017 Sorento that I drove.

[@petercollingwood522]

Interesting about the bluetooth. I've seen several other reviewers who have commented on that. I have a 2021 Chevy Spark, which I like, but it's bluetooth connectivity is crap. Have to re-connect almost every time I start the car and it will sometimes disconnect randomly while driving. This problem has never occurred with the Ford van we use at work so it looks like a GM thing to me.

[@crw3673]

I'm going to repeat what a lot of people have already said, you are complaining about a vehicle that is physically too small for you and is too low budget! Find yourself in a Buick Encore GX or Chevy Trailblazer RS. More headroom for your height and more premium upgrades, but you are going to pay like 5K more. You don't buy Chevrolet smallest and cheapest SUV, then complain about performance and interior. That's a oxymoron in it self! Chevrolet is General Motors budget brand division. You want premium or ultra luxury, go Buick or Cadillac.

I have a Chevy Sonic that I brought back in 2017 for an MSRP of $22,000. I think what Chevy did with the Trax at is around $26k price point is quite the feat with how inflation has been going. While watching your video, I would compare your critiques of the Trax to my Sonic, and some of them they share. They both have noisy AC compressors that go on and off when they feel like it, they both are slow with sluggish transmissions, and they both have hard plastic in places like the armrest (it's slightly better in the Trax, not even rubberized in the Sonic). My Sonic had a rough ride when I first bought it but after I put a decent set of tires on it the ride was much better. Some of your complaints like not being able to see the gauges with your preferred steering wheel placement, the buffeting sunroof, the disconnected steering feel, and the sloppy suspension are things that it seems the Sonic does to better. However, the Trax has many features the Sonic did not have such as all four windows being auto down (front two in the Sonic), a much nicer interior, 4 disc brakes (rear drums in the Sonic), auto start stop, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and lane keep assist. With this in mind the big question mark for this vehicle for me is the engine, and will it be reliable. Otherwise, I think this is a really im0pressive car at its price point, emphasized by the comparison of my similar priced car from Chevy years ago.

[@9Packin]

I agree, we have a 2017 Sonic we bought brand new in 2017. It's a small get you to work and back car, and for that purpose it does its job. The only real complaint I have is I had to spend 1K on a new airbag control module, that sucked.

[@captainarnie7634]

Trax is a run around vehicle for 85% of trips ; short urban use. Most people do not drive 80 mph on the interstate or freeways. Not where I live in N.C. and not in SoCal where I left 18 years ago. I had an 89 Lynx with 90 hp that was fast and now have an 05 Caravan SE with 2.4 4 cylinder that carries a full size mobility scooter with lift. 158 hp. It also goes fast. If I load it up with 3 age 11 & 12 grandkids, camping gear , two big kayaks and the scooter; it may kick down to 3rd gear on the Blue Ridge Parkway. So what ! How often do I take that trip- once a year! Trax was made for sensible, adult drivers. If you are a Yankee red light racer ( like 85% of "drivers" in Durham Raleigh Chapel Hill), get something else.

the 2005 caravan se 2.4 liter has 150 horsepower not 158. I have the exact same car and the acceleration is horrible. I love the van dont get me wrong, super reliable and rides great, we have had it since new. but I have to stand on the accelerator to just get out of my own way

I think the Chevy Trax RS is a great vehicle for the price and value. If you are picky get a more expensive vehicle. You sound like a gourmet chef trying to do a review on McDonald’s 😂 I have the Blazer RS and the extra turbo charged V6 is very nice with the extra room. Either one is good GM quality.

Well said, if you've owned better don't expect this to be grandeur it's basically an entry level vehicle. For me I'd much rather go ahead and get something better for a little more money like mazda, honda,toyota or Subaru. The Toyota corolla cross is much better. This Trax will either have an engine issue or turbo that creates engine problems tip of iceburg. Goodluck!

It’s an honest review, and I can appreciate that, buuuuuuuuut I’m confused about your “hate list”. MPG ratings (28-32 city/highway) isn’t calculated driving 80 mph, the speed and power issue was to be expected, this isn’t meant to be high performance. You’re 6ft or over? It’s to be expected you’re not going to rest comfortably. I feel like you were looking for a performance car, which this absolutely isn’t. Love your videos, but this review is a bit unfair.

I can’t believe they did the same dumb shit Ford did with their 3 cyl. What’s weird is the 1.3 has a timing chain. Why make two different timing setups? Why make two barely different sizes engines anyway?

I had a 1995 Geo Meteo 3 cylinder that was rated at 50 mpg, it was "slow" but I always was at 100 percent throttle everywhere and only got around 33 to 35 mpg. I never complained since I was the one trying to wring out every ounce of speed. 85 mph top speed.....stopped 2x for speed on the freeway.....should have fought the ticket with my defence being a picture of the 3 cylinder....it was a good little car.

[@RedEyeC]

I had the Geo Metro predecessor Chevy Sprint (87) - that 1.0 3 cylinder was a litter bugger alright, I did get the 50 to 55mpg driving a 70mph commute. Went through 2 mufflers oddly. I remember paying $100 for a set of 4 - 12 inch tires at Sears.

[@CD-sz7tf]

@@RedEyeC I test drove the sprint :"turbo" version of one of those little guys, obviously it was underpowered, even with the "turbo" but it was a blast to drive in a not go to jail immediately or kill someone in "mexico" style of driving. And 40 plus to 50 mpg. Good stuff!

[@raymorris5203]

@@RedEyeC it blows my mind they could make a non-hybrid car in the 90’s that got 50 mpg like the Geo Metro, and with today’s advanced technology, you only get that with a hybrid. A friend of mine had one and he’d put $5 in it, and drive forever.

I'm coming from a 2007 Trailblazer with quite a few lights on, even with your complaints this doesn't sound that bad. I guess a lot of it, is expectations one may have... For me, just about anything that's not similar or identical to a 2007 Trailblazer will be better than it. the only other car in the segment that really piques my interest costs considerably more and will be harder to get due to demand but a Corolla Cross Hybrid SE/XSE would be my only real new car contender in the segment that would draw me away from one of these.

[@BlakesCars2]

Definitely take that 20 grand blazer money and get a slightly used Japanese car.

[@pinksnowbirdie2938]

​@@BlakesCars2 the only Japanese brand in my mind that is compelling on the used market is Nissan, primarily the Rogue (prior gen), Rogue Sport and Altima (5th gen refresh if lower miles and good history, and 6th gen again if lower miles and good history), because of the price premiums you pay for Hondas and Toyotas is ridiculous because you're still getting a used car at the end of the day and I don't really like the majority of the ones that are even in that price range ($27,000 or less) (I don't consider Mazda because there's only two compelling cars of theirs to me, the 4th gen Mazda3 and the CX-50.) However and this is the caveat for Honda, a 10th gen Accord 2.0t EX-L though that's super close to brand new Elantra N territory and is out of the window of budget Im wanting to spend lol Im going to overlook Subaru because the only model that interests me is the Outback in it's most recent form.

[@jeffj126]

For the price point of this car you really cannot make these complaints. I believe if you were critiquing a $80,000 vehicle you'd still have petty complaints about. You're looking at an economy car from the perspective of a sports car and that's not fair. Most people would have complaints about genuine issus; electrical problems, transmission problems or major issues on the functionality of the car. Your complaints are simply based on styling and you knew what you were getting when you purchased this car.

[@BigORat]

I would NEVER drive anything 80-85 mph at anytime anywhere. I've lost too many family and friends in car crashes. Speed limit laws were put into place for a good reason.

I almost bought this but two days ago went with a 2021 trailblazer. I don't regret it. I wish i had wireless car play (i can get an adapter though) and would have liked adaptive cruise control but other than that im 100% satisfied with my purchase. It has 155hp 1.3L and AWD which wasn't available on the trax. I think my favorite feature on the trailblazer that the trax doesn't offer is my panoramic sunroof. I sit in the backseat with my autistic 4 year old when my boyfriend drives and he loved being able to look up and see the entire sky as the roof. I also have leatherette in my trailblazer with power seats and lumbar support. The material doesn't feel as cheap as the trax material did. A power liftgate is also really nice.

Be aware of the cvt transmission. I bought a 21 trailblazer new and at 63k the trans started to delay from R to D, up to 5 secs. I read up and many reports were spot on what I was experiencing. They say it can’t be repaired only replaced. They gave me above blue book when I traded it in. I did go with the Activ Trax.
