@@geerstyresoil3136The problem is lack of consistency. It's not that they are all going to break down, it's just that your chances of getting a dud is much higher with something like the gen 1 Trax. GM can't afford to put out subpar cars. When Toyota or Honda screw up they have a reputation of quality so people mostly shrug it off, when someone buys a Chevy and it's crap, they won't buy another Chevy.

We need more, more, more cheap vehicles. And you made an excellent point about reliability: there should be no excuse for powertrain reliability issues. I really hope this works for them because knowing I can get one of these for 20k brand new is so appealing, even for someone who isn’t desperate but just loves practicality.

America NEEDS more cheap vehicles available not less. They've already been selling quite well from what I can tell, which is good. The drivetrain in these is fairly reliable. I haven't really heard anything bad about either the 1.2 or 1.3 engines. Some people say the six-speed is lazy in shifting but that's more of a preference than a problem. The only problems I've heard about have been electrical gremlins, things like intermittently working power windows and locks. Hopefully that can be easily fixed at the factory going forward.

Thank you for a fair and objective review of this vehicle. I just want to share my experience with this 'American' car that is actually made/assembled in Korea. I had owned TWO Chevy Sparks prior to owning this vehicle in December 2023. The Spark as some may know is also made in Korea and that is where I gained confidence to upgrade to the Trax. In the six years that I owned the Sparks I had absolutely NO trouble with them. Other than visits to the dealership for scheduled service, I did not have to replace even a screw or washer. Just sharing my experience for those who are considering this vehicle.

The car is an improvement, but rust protection is clearly lil john levels of loww~ Many panel cut or weld seams without sealant, plenty un pockets for salt and most large areas have no covering rubber meterial. Just like a ford. Just like a chrysler. I would love for this channel to also take a quick look at rust prevention, as for someone living in a place with 4 seasons this matters.

I sent a friend of mine (Lexus SUV owner) a picture of one and asked her how much she thought it costs (she didn't know it was a Chevy product). She said probably around $40,000 dollars. Spoiler alert.. It ranges between under $21,000, and around $26 or $27,000 fully loaded. She was shocked!

At last a proper replacement for my 1963 Rambler! Well done.

I work at a GM dealer in Florida and we have had some turbo issues, but that’s about it. The biggest problem I see with the 1.2L long term is that is doesn’t use a timing chain, it uses a wet timing belt, meaning it’s bathed in oil just like a chain would be. This makes it much more expensive to replace. If you look in the owners manual, it says to change it every 10 years, 150,000mi, or at 75,000mi for severe service. I would just encourage any owners to change their oil every 6mo/5000mi max to protect that belt, and be aware, when that belt needs to be changed, expect to spend around $1500-$2000.

Why would they sale a wagon. Many of the brands don't even have a sedan related car on sale to sale a wagon variant. Every wagon sold for the past 20 years has had pretty pathetic sales. The only exception to this is the Subaru Outback which was the best selling wagon globally in 2022 all thanks to the US market.

US consumers don’t want to buy “station wagons”. But car makers have figured out that if you make a wagon a bit taller than a sedan and call it an SUV or crossover, they’ll happily buy them.

CUVs are lifted wagons with a different name

Jacks gotten pretty good at this.

Not a GM but I give them alot of credit for both the Chevrolet and Buick at this price point. Good work!

What a crazy Monday morning to come and hear Piano Black Jack talk good things about a Chevy loaded with piano black.

But is it PREMIUM piano black?

In an alternate universe, Honda is building their version of this on their own assembly line at a GM plant in Mexico and telling people, "no really, it meets our standards".

The best Chevy built today?

“Assuming it’s reliable “ says every GM buyer on their way out the door

Jack’s T levels were so high he overlooked the ‘junior engineer’ who completely nailed the exhaust note. I’m selling my GT3RS and picking up 10 of these puppies. Who am I kidding, my assistant will do that for me.

I’ve driven the 2024 Buick Encore for a month as a rental. It’s pretty, pretty good. I feel if a Billstien rear shock was available that would make a huge difference in the ride because it’s nasty on dirt bumpies. Also the air vents do a combo point and shut off, it’s clunky and you can’t get the air to go exactly where you want it. I’d also replace the front a pillar speakers and it would sound very good actually.

So far have not seen any of these in the service department, my main grip is the infotainment system but it's not that bad. Wonder if these will go 200kmiles+

A few months ago, one of friends got the Buick version of this vehicle for 23k out the door. It’s not the sportiest or most exciting car, it’s very competent, easy and comfortable. It and the Trax are the affordable vehicles we need more of

What an amazing redesign than last gen!

It's mind-boggling to me that the Chevy Cruze hatchback, which had the 1.5 turbo 4 cylinder and a manual transmission offered, was overlooked by so many, but this Trax is somehow so cool and inexpensive? My friend has a Cruze Hatch RS and i was surprised how much space inside it has, while having more power and better fuel economy. This Trax is pure marketing bs.

Modern drivers won't look at a car without 5 inches of ground clearance so they can see the Starbucks sign 3 blocks away.

Imagine owning this 5 years from now as a used car with 85,000 miles on it.

Bought my ceyanne orange base trax 3 weeks ago. All in was just under 25000. Only real dislike is the plastic box under rear view mirror.does have lag when hard accelerateing but not a real problem. Am super happy to have gotten the discontinued Ceyanne orange color and like it having steel wheels ,won't have to have leaky tires in 5 years. So far have been getting 33 mpg .

Siick can’t wait for this one!

Holy Hell are your standards low.

0:10 Engine burns so clean that the "producers" had to use the smoke machine for that Exhaust shot! 🤩💨

It looks amazing

Ahhh, the fabled flat-plane crank 1.2L 3 cyl turbo. Only the B58 is more legendary!

Sometimes you luck out with the GM econoshitboxes. My 2013 Spark lasted me 11+ years of daily big city driving with absolutely 0 drivetrain issues the whole time I owned it. Don't get me wrong: Nothing worked on the thing near the end and the locks didn't work anymore but it still DROVE. It got me to where I needed it to be and it looked kinda neat.

This car is perfect for my retirement-aged parents on a fixed income who have run their 2004 Escape into the ground… can’t wait to drive it when they get one.

We almost bought one of these; just could not get over our disgust with GM products we've owned in the past.

Like A Rock on the stereo. Nice touch 😂

Hello, I have a question, in this vehicle, the catalytic converter placed in a relatively secure area. from the video footage, i have the impression that it is not exposed like in other cars. Thanks in advanced for your response.

Important question. Most people who own this will park it outside and live in working class or low income neighborhoods
