Used 2019 Chevrolet Trax LS

The Chev Trax appears to be a “perfect car” for me so at this time so I am going to give it 5 stars. I plan to update my review as time passes. I suggest if you are interested in the Trax for whatever reason but are concerned about “professional reviews” look in the data yourself and take a test drive. A number of really good cars are in this category. NHTSA for crash data (no car does better in category 5 overall (5 front, 5 side,4 rollover)) Stopping distance and 0 to 60 all cars in the category are similar. Consumer Reports has all this data or google search. Repair Pal for reliability Trax listed as very good. I was looking for data-driven reliability and this was the only location I could find with data based on actual repair costs. The Trax is in line with other vehicles in its category. Market Acceptance and Stable Platform (google search) The combined sales of the Trax and Encore (shared platform) has increased from near 51,000 in 2014 to near 220000 in 2019 in the US. I am not aware of any platform that has more sales in the US. The Trax has market acceptance with increased sales. EPA for gas mileage All the cars are not that far apart, cars with CVT transmissions do help but cost more. I did a test drive of a car using CVT and I did like the feel of the CVT. I have read mixed reviews on CVT maintenance issues. Make sure you compare similar transmissions (manual, automatic, or CVT) and if AWD or FWD. Kelly Blue Book for trade-in values This does depend on the actual price paid new. I try to drive a new car for over 10 years I am not sure in the end how much this going to add to the cost of ownership for me. I donated a car I purchased new to a charity that I had for near 14 years their plan was to keep it running for a number of more years. If for any reason the car is only owned for a smaller number of years this can be a factor. I've seen other models from other manufacturers that want about $10,000 more. This is a small SUV. But it has a responsive engine. The handling is good. It's kinda of a "stiff" ride though. Perhaps it's the cheap tires it comes with. But all in all it's a good little SUV for a price of an entry level car. The gas mileage is good too. (not great, like a small car) But about the same as a Nissan Sentra, costing more.
