Positive Review
I have a 2024 2RS with the moonroof and wireless charging. The flat bottom steering wheel is extra nice when you get in or get out of the car, especially if you are a big person, like me. It gets great gas mileage, and it has plenty of power, contrary to what you may have heard. The golden yellow turns heads, and most are surprised, like I was, at the low price, considering it has heated seats, heated steering wheel, wireless charging, moonroof like cars which costs tens of thousands of dollars more. Safety: This is a big deal. It has blind spot monitor, adaptive Cruise control and these things make it safer to drive. The backup camera has dynamic lines showing you the approximate path of where you are going when backing up. The backup camera is fabutastic with great colors, dynamic lines and a large screen. My car has almost 4000 miles and my wife loves it. She never has any problem finding the car in a sea of thousands of cars in a parking lot, because the gold color sticks out for miles. Now, the bad: No car is perfect. This is no exception. The engine noise, with the small turbo, is more than I would like. I guess the worst part is that its "not a buick" and does not have a buick ride. Buick does make a "Trax" with its upgrades and calls it an Encore. If you are a "smooth ride affectionado" and are willing to pay more, I would recommend the Buick instead. For most people, tho, who want a new car under between 21,000 and 26,000, the Trax is the best bet. Its much larger than the Nissan Kicks, which is in a similar price range. I have previously driven a Honda CRV hybrid, but when Honda raised the price of a similar equipped (SEL) CRV hybrid to over $40,000, I quit buying Hondas. And, forget the Toyota RAV 4 hybrid, because those are never available, and, if you do find one, you dont get to pick the color or options, you drive what they got, and pay almost 40,000 for those, also. The Mazda CX5 may be a good "half way" improvement. The CX5 is probably 30 something thousand but a bit more upscale, but not an outrageous fortune like the Toyota and Honda. In short the 2024 TRAX is a bargain for those who need a low priced new car. It has more value than any other car, with a possible exception of the Maverick. (If you want to drive a baby truck instead of a car).

Critical Review
It's a nice looking car first off, has everything I need in the cabin however it's performance is subpar, the motor hesitates often but what can you expect from a 3 cylinder, the turbo is nice but the traction system in my own experience is the worst, luckily I can turn it off, it's great on gas tho, Also the gauges are digital and are slow to show on the screen often, the Sensor that detects you are too close to someone doesn't work well and sometimes goes off when I'm not even close to the person in front of me, which is annoying. Has decent handling however it isn't all wheel drive so that's an issue for a Subaru guy myself, it's reliable so far however after I pay it down some more I'm trading it for something else, not a fan of the Trax, other people may disagree but in my opinion I don't care for it.

So far i am happy with it, there’s plenty of space even for a tall person, it handles well, fuel efficiency is awesome. The car play has to be reset frequently, which is annoying and we haven’t tested it on a long trip yet. Hopefully we will be able to do that very soon.
Price and comfort
none
2025 2RS purchased 6 months ago. Acres of room, compare head room to the Blazer. Front or rear. Yes, FWD only, but you know that before purchase. Handles well and is an excellent highway driver. KC to Eureka Spring, AR. 30MPG.

Comfortable ride and nice features. It has plenty of leg room for someone that is 6’1”. I would recommend this vehicle.

Handling and milage
Tight for wide bodies
3500 miles and no problem. Takes off fast enough and get around 34 mpg on interstate. Handles like a car. I did get comfort and driver assist package.
Looks good, great features
Poor acceleration, hard plastic armrests
The acceleration is poor, it doesn’t have much pick up, it drags and jerks sometimes. I test drive the Chevy Trax Activ, that car wasn’t bad, I never got a chance to drive the 1RS until I purchased it. I’m very disappointed in its performance.
Sporty look, Heated seats and wheel, Auto start.
Auto Lights flicker a lot.
Absolutly love this SUV. I got mine brand new on March 6th and it has been amazing. The price point was good, and it is worth mentioning that I traded in a chevy malibu for this Trax. I have read a lot of reviews on the Trax and some of the likes and dislikes are inconsistent, but while I have had mine, it has been wonders.
