Bro I was cad searching, was gonna end up buying a 2019 rogue with 50k kms for $1000 more than I paid for my 1rs trax😅 I didn’t think I’d be able to get my hands on one bc they were sold out everywhere until a dealership called saying someone had defaulted on their order so I got so lucky. This car is definitely the best bang for your buck in 2023 hands down.
@@Hunter-op3dx Unless your drag racing, or in the side shows, it’s a pretty good idea having a 3 cylinder, great gas mileage and not bad for long trips!! You want speed get a Camaro or corvette, you definetly won’t pay less than 24 for it tho
I snagged mine Saturday. I got the mosaic black LT and the one I lucked out on has every upgrade offered in these Trax. I have the sunroof, the full electronics package, the seats are a leatherette/cloth combo, heated seats and wheel, wireless charging pad, the works, and it's fun as hell to drive. Got mine for $26,000 out the door with gap insurance and extended warranty. I happened to be at the dealership as they were unloading it and knew I found a steal as I hadn't seen another LT fully loaded like this anywhere and with more upgrades than any of the RS trims I had looked at. I prefer the blue accents inside the LT as there are just a few on the dash and not allover the seats like the RS. The red or yellow in the others continues it onto the seats which I didn't like at all. The only change I'm making are the gold bowties to black ones. If you can find one like mine there's no way I'd go with a higher trim because really all that changes are the inches of the wheels, electric seat adjusting and seat material. Im obsessed with mine! She's a sexy little thing for this mama to drive around to all the HomeGoods in town, lol. 2 of my 3 kids are out of the house now so I got to downsize from my big SUV and this was the perfect little crossover to do it in. I don't need a luxury car but I feel like I'm not sacrificing much honestly. The tech in the car is so incredible at this price point, it was a no-brainer and I love it!!
be careful, its a nice car but if you need any parts due to an accident, you cant get parts, because they haven't made any extra parts, not even an ETA date,,,, I'm dealing with this now.
Just make sure you're charging your oil every 6,000 miles and allow for the turbo charger to cool off for 2 to 3 minutes before shutting down the engine, so the oil doesn't bake in the turbo plumbing.
They don't have any replacement parts for this car. I love my 2024 trax Activ but I had an accident and it broke my rear window out and damaged the liftgate. This happened in May 2023. I still can't get my car repaired because THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS CAR... I cant even get an estimate on it. Be careful!!! GM does not have any answers for me. They say parts might not be available until November or December, Possibly not until next year, So I'm driving my car without the rear window and a liftgate that wont close. I'm a very dissatisfied customer with General Motors.... They get your money but then they don't care one bit about you.... BE CAREFUL!!!!! Jan Bloss,,,
Had the same issues with the new '23 Honda accord. The car had a bad radio unit and needed to be replaced as it kept draining the battery when I parked it in the garage and locked it. Car sat for 4 months waiting for parts also the build quality was sub par in some places. Lesson learned Never buy first year on new styling cycles always wait as parts and production quality improves.
They deff have parts. Don’t talk shit if you’re one of those people who just takes their vehicles to a shop for repairs. Any dealer will say they don’t have parts because they only use gm oem. You don’t need oem. There other brand name parts that are compatible with the car and cheaper than gm oem parts
@@jonnysnipes3123 when a new model/ bodystyle comes out there will be a brief point in time where parts are hard to get because the car manufacturer is prioritizing production of the car rather than building a bank surplus of parts. Also the manufacturer will not just offer aftermarket suppliers to manufacture parts for said new car right away because that would not only look bad on the manufacturer but also steal clients away who buy genuine parts. Give it a few months and parts will become more readily available. It happens more often than you think friend

That's the only downside to this car. 3 Cylinder???? It can be fine if you don't beat it, but the wet timing belt is STOOPID. Hope they change that in future model years. Otherwise, very good job overall
Using a wet timing belt tells you one thing, that the manufacturer has only built the car to last as long as the warranty period. After that you're probably screwed.
I was going to look at one of thse by the wet timing belt design and what it will take to replace it, perhaps one of the most difficult and EXPENSIVE timing belt jobs in on the market. Basically, you run this till the belt snaps and then you have it hauled out for scrap.
I am considering one of these for my next vehicle. I like the look and price. I would upgrade the speakers though to make it *perfect* as I do love my music.

It's not the 3 Cyl engine thats the biggest fear. It's the wet timing belt. I definitely don't like the 3 cyl idea, but if you're gentle on it, and change the oil in time, it should be OK.
But by God YOUR MORE THAN WELCOME TO PAY FOR 2ND ROW VENTILATION IN A MORE EXPENSIVE CAR. It's a subcompact... the backrow passengers can probably adjust the front row vents without leaning forward. You get what you pay for.
I test drove it and the only annoying thing is the laggy shifting. The acceleration was comparable to the CX30 despite Chevrolet using a castrated engine
@cbruno12180 you rather cosmetics than performance? At least you'll be comfortable sitting in a non running car after 4-5 years. And you'll spend another 30k to buy another one.
1) The design is biting Hyundai/ Kia style. 2) Agree, tons of space. 3) The older Equinox have USB ports right there, they could have placed AC vents there with 1 port. 4) Agree, Chevy knows how to do comfy seats, nothing new. 5) Agree, price is a bargain at MSRP but it's because they went cheap on materials under the hood and at the suspension system.
1) probably because it was designed by Korean engineers and literally built in Korea... this is NOT a Chevy designed is a good thing. 3 & 5) you get what you pay for... cheap is cheap... people keep wanting a Cadillac for cheapest Chevy prices, that's not how the world works. Nobody is making you buy the cheapest car out there... there are plenty of cars with 2nd row ventilation... and you're going to pay for it if you want it.
@briandonald not at all... the Blazer is a GM design and looks/feels/styled completely differently. The new Trax was designed in Korea by a Korean/German design team with completely different goals. The ONLY similarities are that they are both classified as Sport Utility Vehicles. The Trax has more in common with a Palisade than it does the Blazer.
I just bought one. I'll say moving over from my hyundai they aren't the best. A bit muffly sounding at time. But im no dj knowing how to do all the crazy adjustments. Just a mom who loves 90s jams lol. I wouldn't say they are terrible though
@@ZaysWorlld Okay, let me spell it out for you... the 2024 Trax does not offer Bose or any reputable brand, its a running gag that your cell phone puts out more bass than the speakers that come with the 2024 Trax... on the plus side, it's relatively easy to upgrade your speakers in any car, I might recomend Crutchfield speakers, but to answer your question, the Trax speakers in 2024 are the cheapest car speakers for the cheapest car... when they offer such a low price for a car in 2024, sacrifices are and will be made... the speakers are one of the sacrifices.
Top reasons to not buy: Wet Belt Turbo GDI without port injection Torque converter automatic good Spare tire good Pretty car Looks roomy. Definitely need to replace wet belts with chains.
I test drove the Trax and wasn’t impressed. It honestly felt like a $21,000 car. The Buick Envista had a much better build quality and drove much better. I would honestly spend the couple grand more and buy the base model Envista. I ultimately ended up getting the Nissan Rogue but I think I would’ve been just as happy with the Envista. The Trax: not so much.
The Envista and Trax literally share the same drive train, there's zero reason they would handle differently, it's all in your head. The interior is different, but the drive train is identical. Don't forget GM has a long and glorious history of rebadging the same car.
I’m pretty damn sure every one in these comments do not look for engine, transmission etc under the hood of a car it’s about specs outside the car itself exterior and interior design it’s more about style 😅 I have not seen any damn human that buy car look under the under for engine details and it’s power train all it take is a test drive and you gone buy it doesn’t even matter if it’s 2,3,4cylinder or whatever !! America is so delusional I see more people buying Chevy then any other car begin sold as of Kia don’t even have a high car sale in it’s market even if it’s a 3 cylinder 😂
I just came from a video of a guy saying this is the worst new car he ever bought and stuff like windows and ac don't work. Don't buy a Trax. It's a Chevrolet. I have also personally seen a brand new one with a bad DRL. It's not even 6 months old lol

@AWMJoeyjoejoe So, laws of physics don't apply to Toyota? Of course not. Ramming 300hp in a 3 cyl engine is bad, but putting a Toyota logo exempts it? Typical "name" and "perception" thinking.. Go ahead, pay for the name. Newer Toyotas are just as good or bad as most of the competition.
This car was meant to be AFFORDABLE, so adding a bunch of shit in it, price goes up. The idea of having a somewhat barebone car is good. Many don't care about extra features.
Do any of you understand the concept of affordable? People want this they want that, heated rear seats, 6 cyl engine, blah blah blah. Its AFFORDABLE! Adding all that stuff will make the price go up. That's why it doesn't have those features and it shouldn't have to be explained to you.

@operator91210 Yeah I don't mind being slow but I heard it won't last past 150k miles because it has a 3cylinder with turbo so the engine will break down fast..
@@michaelarguello4906that goes with any car with turbos. Realistically though if you buy one are you really going to keep it past 150 thousand miles? Majority of consumers have an attention span of a puppy so it's not that much of a concern
Chevy needs to bring back the compact sedan to America with the design language of the new Trax and offer a 208 hp 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder option in the RS trim.
Thats including freight and dealer prep charges. Also UAW asks for raises and you'll be seeing those raises driving up the freight charges and MSRP. Prices go up every year
As much hate as my vehicle (Ford EcoSport 2.0 AWD) gets, it's far more reliable and solid than this piece of crap. It's subframe has way more backbone. This is a far better LOOKING vehicle, but that junk wet rubber timing belt in the engine is just asking for a major problem. It's not any better than the older Traxx's bad timing chain at 40-60,000 miles. In fact, it's worse. Planned obsolescence. Then there's it's plastic tie rod ends and TERRIBLE layout of the undercarriage. It's a pretty piece of garbage with a nice interior. Smooth, deceptive crap. If I had a pick between a brand new Traxx and my EcoSport with 9,000 miles...I'd stay with mine.
It's a 21K car. Unless you absolutely need AWD, get something else. Most buyers don't need AWD. This car is targeting the average Joe that needs basic transportation and is on a budget. This represents the majority.
@mmlawncare2531 How did people do years ago when hardly any car had back vents? Since when you need to have back vents because of children. My dad's car had no rear vents and I'm still alive. If rear vents is a requirement for you, that's OK, then FIND SOMETHING ELSE. 98% of buyers won't give 2 fucks and manage with what this 21K car has.
Doesn't Toyota have a 3 cylinder engine? GR Corolla? So, why is a 3 cylinder in a Toyota ok? It's also turbo charged and pushing 300 hp. Insane pressure in a small engine. But, of course Toyota is exempt from laws of physics.
AWD requires extra equipment, higher costs and most people don't need it. This car was meant to be affordable and reach out to a segment of buyers that want BASIC and affordable transportation. Maybe, they should cancel the Trailblazer and offer AWD on the 2 top trims.
A tiny 3 cylinder with a weak trans that takes 2 years to shift, has 130 hp, and no rear ac vents. In a 2024. There’s usually always a reason some cars are cheaper, remember chevy cruze? Yeah you get what you pay for.
That's what this car is meant for. Not designed for picky people that bitch about insignificant details. For 21K, this car has a lot. Want a race car? Buy a Corvette!!!. Someone on a budget could give 2 fucks about those details.
don't even need a mechanic friend to know that a tiny engine with a turbo is not going to last very long. the engine may very well be fine on a smaller subcompact cars made for the euro and asian markets but this tiny thing on a larger suv/crossover is going to kill that thing prematurely. i do love the look and tech in it and how the infotainment screen is angled towards the driver, is pretty neat and all new cars should have that standard.

It's a subcompact... the backrow passengers can probably adjust the front row vents without leaning forward. You get what you pay for.
But ehat about that 3cylinder.
It's sad that they are not selling it in the uk
yea but 130 Horsepower? i'm good
But 162 lb-ft torque!
@@StreetPreacherr 😂
Motorcycle engine???
@@StreetPreacherr lol. Imagine a Honda civic blowing your doors off
3 CYLINDERS..NO REAL EMERGENCY BRAKE..NEVER..
Your crazy for 26k and loaded up like it is u can lease this for 350 36 months with 1500 down that’s insane rt now
I test drove it and the only annoying thing is the laggy shifting. The acceleration was comparable to the CX30 despite Chevrolet using a castrated engine
@@krismine99 this is prevalent on many Chevy models. To be honest, it was annoying for me at first too, but you get used to it pretty quickly.
Engine has awesome torque its acturbo.
@cbruno12180 you rather cosmetics than performance? At least you'll be comfortable sitting in a non running car after 4-5 years. And you'll spend another 30k to buy another one.
1) The design is biting Hyundai/ Kia style. 2) Agree, tons of space. 3) The older Equinox have USB ports right there, they could have placed AC vents there with 1 port. 4) Agree, Chevy knows how to do comfy seats, nothing new. 5) Agree, price is a bargain at MSRP but it's because they went cheap on materials under the hood and at the suspension system.
1) probably because it was designed by Korean engineers and literally built in Korea... this is NOT a Chevy designed is a good thing.
3 & 5) you get what you pay for... cheap is cheap... people keep wanting a Cadillac for cheapest Chevy prices, that's not how the world works. Nobody is making you buy the cheapest car out there... there are plenty of cars with 2nd row ventilation... and you're going to pay for it if you want it.
It’s basically a smaller version of the Blazer.
@briandonald not at all... the Blazer is a GM design and looks/feels/styled completely differently.
The new Trax was designed in Korea by a Korean/German design team with completely different goals.
The ONLY similarities are that they are both classified as Sport Utility Vehicles.
The Trax has more in common with a Palisade than it does the Blazer.
@@wolfshanze5980 I disagree. Looks almost identical. Same lines. I wish I could add pics here to prove my point.
How long will the engine and tranny last?
Yes
As long as u take care of them same for all cars, but minimum of 175k miles
THATS WHY JUST LEASE IT
I have a Chevrolet Onix 2021 that has the same engine and turbo, no problem at all after 120k miles (i use it as UBER 8hrs at day).
Till you drive it off the lot, maybe an extra block if the wind is at your back. 😂
Fresh design? It looks like a small blazer
Korean engineers, Korean manufactured. GM outsourced this.
Price is very good I would say design is nice plus it's domestic. 1000 times better than Hyundai I wouldsay
is it good in the winter??
How are the speakers ???
I just bought one. I'll say moving over from my hyundai they aren't the best. A bit muffly sounding at time. But im no dj knowing how to do all the crazy adjustments. Just a mom who loves 90s jams lol. I wouldn't say they are terrible though
I think it's only 4 speakers
It's a 26K car, I hope you're not expecting a Bose sound system.
@@wolfshanze5980 i had a trax as a daily at one point that came with a bose sound system so idk what you mean by that…
@@ZaysWorlld Okay, let me spell it out for you... the 2024 Trax does not offer Bose or any reputable brand, its a running gag that your cell phone puts out more bass than the speakers that come with the 2024 Trax... on the plus side, it's relatively easy to upgrade your speakers in any car, I might recomend Crutchfield speakers, but to answer your question, the Trax speakers in 2024 are the cheapest car speakers for the cheapest car... when they offer such a low price for a car in 2024, sacrifices are and will be made... the speakers are one of the sacrifices.
That 3, cylinder is the only thing that scares me
Thumbs 👍 up G.M.
Does it come AWD
No.
I feel robbed by getting a 2020 Trax 2 years ago
I like it’s cousin (envista) even better.
A three cylinder engine with a wet timing belt. Good luck.
Wet timing belt engine design. Absolutely not
Do you also get finger prints on that tablet ?
Yes, I got the 2025 last Thursday, but dollar tree sells microfibers for vehicles, I just always keep one in all my vehicles
Top reasons to not buy:
Wet Belt
Turbo
GDI without port injection
Torque converter automatic good
Spare tire good
Pretty car
Looks roomy.
Definitely need to replace wet belts with chains.
I test drove the Trax and wasn’t impressed. It honestly felt like a $21,000 car. The Buick Envista had a much better build quality and drove much better. I would honestly spend the couple grand more and buy the base model Envista. I ultimately ended up getting the Nissan Rogue but I think I would’ve been just as happy with the Envista. The Trax: not so much.
The Envista and Trax literally share the same drive train, there's zero reason they would handle differently, it's all in your head.
The interior is different, but the drive train is identical. Don't forget GM has a long and glorious history of rebadging the same car.
yeah, but the engine
Lool, that’s the only thing I am thinking about. How realizable is a Chevy engine ?
Pass no awd
Buy winter tires or look at the trailblazer with AWD.......
If you absolutely need AWD, then this is not the right car for you. Find something else. Plenty of choice.
Previous gen, ugly as hell, still had AWD. This needs it.
Yes @PaulBruinFan Yes this was a huge mistake not having AWD even as an Option.
It’s just like the Kia soul
Hey people .. that look like the car for my purse... Link 🖇️ me toward the lineup 👻👙💵
Buick encore gx
I just threw up in my mouth a little bit when you said that.
I’m pretty damn sure every one in these comments do not look for engine, transmission etc under the hood of a car it’s about specs outside the car itself exterior and interior design it’s more about style 😅 I have not seen any damn human that buy car look under the under for engine details and it’s power train all it take is a test drive and you gone buy it doesn’t even matter if it’s 2,3,4cylinder or whatever !! America is so delusional I see more people buying Chevy then any other car begin sold as of Kia don’t even have a high car sale in it’s market even if it’s a 3 cylinder 😂
I just came from a video of a guy saying this is the worst new car he ever bought and stuff like windows and ac don't work.
Don't buy a Trax. It's a Chevrolet. I have also personally seen a brand new one with a bad DRL. It's not even 6 months old lol
Its an American owned brand and it beautiful😊
But still low quality go figure 😂
@@cormaro13 Stop hating your toyota wishes it had this design or suspension. Japanese cars drive like crap.
@@sublimegreen 🤣🤣 u wish idiot , is that why chevy is always on the bottom of the list for owning and reliability, if they stop making such poor quality vehicles they wouldn't be going thru another government bail out 🤣
Already own 5 chevys , some of us learn from our mistakes lol
This thing is built in Korea. Engine built in Mexico. Shit I’m in
@@andrewsanders4044 This thing is American and the earnings stay in the USA. Your Japanese thing is Japanese and the earnings stay in Japan. Its all American engeeneering. Your thing is built here and all made in your Japan.😏
Reliability only 3 years😂
good enough for a 3 year lease i say.
That doesn't look like a Jeep Cherokee at all😊
A tiny three cylinder engine with a turbo is recipe for disaster 💥
If your a heavy foot driver then look elsewhere otherwise if driven with care it will last for years.......
Then also stay away from GR Corolla as it also has a 3 cyl engine.
@@bmw803Chevrolet aint Toyota. I'd buy a GR Corolla in a heartbeat knowing it'll be reliable. This thing? Lets just say I wouldn't want to own one outside its warranty period.
How many years? Rhetorical question.
@AWMJoeyjoejoe So, laws of physics don't apply to Toyota? Of course not. Ramming 300hp in a 3 cyl engine is bad, but putting a Toyota logo exempts it? Typical "name" and "perception" thinking.. Go ahead, pay for the name. Newer Toyotas are just as good or bad as most of the competition.
Top 5 reasons not to: Mazda, Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan. (Hyundai gets an honorable mention) basically buy anything but GM.
No to Chrysler even more so.
@@Ms.CindyLee While I agree how many cats does Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge even make anymore? 4?
I can't think of 1
I has a SPARE TIRE!
Could’ve added rear seat warmers, more plugs other options for the stitching but I love driving it
This car was meant to be AFFORDABLE, so adding a bunch of shit in it, price goes up. The idea of having a somewhat barebone car is good. Many don't care about extra features.
Do any of you understand the concept of affordable? People want this they want that, heated rear seats, 6 cyl engine, blah blah blah. Its AFFORDABLE! Adding all that stuff will make the price go up. That's why it doesn't have those features and it shouldn't have to be explained to you.
Could've added several thousand dollars to the price of the vehicle to meet your shopping list.
Too expensive! The tax and tags are not included which can make this car close to $30,000 or more.
you need to buy at least the lt trim which should bring cost to around 25-26k with all taxes and fees
Reason not to buy? IT ONLY HAS 3 cylinders
..damm, i jus read that few mins ago on another video.. i for sure thought it be 4cyl!? Smh... but 3cyl, thts krazy.
It's a car to scoot about not not a racing car. Real world small families or couples Don't need performance vehicles. If they do they'll look elsewhere
@operator91210 Yeah I don't mind being slow but I heard it won't last past 150k miles because it has a 3cylinder with turbo so the engine will break down fast..
@@michaelarguello4906that goes with any car with turbos. Realistically though if you buy one are you really going to keep it past 150 thousand miles? Majority of consumers have an attention span of a puppy so it's not that much of a concern
@@michaelarguello4906
Bro 150k that’s about 8 years from now with a lot of use!!! Lol!
Chevy needs to bring back the compact sedan to America with the design language of the new Trax and offer a 208 hp 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder option in the RS trim.
Most buyers DON'T WANT sedans. Between a Cruze and a Trax, the choice is obvious.
Reasons not to buy
3 cylinder
Turbo
Wet timing belt
$26,500??? 😅🤯🤔😱🙈🤫What..?!?!?! Chevy said that the Highest trim won’t exceed $25,300 MSRP across the USA 🇺🇸. What is going on Chevy dealers ???
Thats including freight and dealer prep charges. Also UAW asks for raises and you'll be seeing those raises driving up the freight charges and MSRP. Prices go up every year
Very 👏
3 cylinder is a no
I don't like the idea either, but the worst is that wet timing belt.
I have the 2016 and it is ugly. Glad they did some upgrades.
They failed to mention the Car is made in South Korea
Built not made, engine is made is Mexico
@@ThePokeChannel1 would much prefer korea over mexico made
And whats your point
But, if a Toyota is made in Mexico, then it's OK.
Most Chevy's are built in Mexico, so that's a step up.
No back A/C
No AWD
@Briansgate Yes this is a Huge Blunder by Chevy by not even having this as an option for AWD.
As much hate as my vehicle (Ford EcoSport 2.0 AWD) gets, it's far more reliable and solid than this piece of crap. It's subframe has way more backbone. This is a far better LOOKING vehicle, but that junk wet rubber timing belt in the engine is just asking for a major problem. It's not any better than the older Traxx's bad timing chain at 40-60,000 miles. In fact, it's worse. Planned obsolescence. Then there's it's plastic tie rod ends and TERRIBLE layout of the undercarriage. It's a pretty piece of garbage with a nice interior. Smooth, deceptive crap. If I had a pick between a brand new Traxx and my EcoSport with 9,000 miles...I'd stay with mine.
average human spends about 300 hours a year behind the wheel. do you really want something boring like a chevy?
You might find it boring, but someone else not. Newer models are definitely not boring as they were 10-15 years ago.
The back is ugly. No awd option seen. They updated what was already nice. - my mother a 2018 trax LT driver
The 2018 and i belive up to 2020 is awd.
It's a 21K car. Unless you absolutely need AWD, get something else. Most buyers don't need AWD. This car is targeting the average Joe that needs basic transportation and is on a budget. This represents the majority.
That antenna🤮 kills the whole style
Lol how? I barely even saw it
No a/c for the backseat passengers
Smh.. yea alot of suv's dont have back / 2nd seats air vents. Smh.
Then find something else. For 21K, many buyers won't give 2 fucks.
@@bmw803 most buyers probably have kids being an suv sir so rethink your comment 🤣
@mmlawncare2531 How did people do years ago when hardly any car had back vents? Since when you need to have back vents because of children. My dad's car had no rear vents and I'm still alive. If rear vents is a requirement for you, that's OK, then FIND SOMETHING ELSE. 98% of buyers won't give 2 fucks and manage with what this 21K car has.
@@mmlawncare2531it's a SUBCOMPACT... the cabin is literally tiny compared to all other vehicles, rethink your comment! 😅
Big reason to not buy one. Wet belt.
I’ll take a any model Toyota over this
Doesn't Toyota have a 3 cylinder engine? GR Corolla? So, why is a 3 cylinder in a Toyota ok? It's also turbo charged and pushing 300 hp. Insane pressure in a small engine. But, of course Toyota is exempt from laws of physics.
AWD?
Nope 😂😂😂
So is this or not a rebadged crosstrek?
Too bad is not AWR
AWD requires extra equipment, higher costs and most people don't need it. This car was meant to be affordable and reach out to a segment of buyers that want BASIC and affordable transportation. Maybe, they should cancel the Trailblazer and offer AWD on the 2 top trims.
Its just another throw away car
NOOOOOOO DON’T DO IT!!!! The inside is so delicate i feel breathing decays it!
Buick envista looks way better to me
The Envista has the exact same drive train.
Tail lights ugly from T cross VW ,no AWD
A tiny 3 cylinder with a weak trans that takes 2 years to shift, has 130 hp, and no rear ac vents. In a 2024. There’s usually always a reason some cars are cheaper, remember chevy cruze? Yeah you get what you pay for.
That's what this car is meant for. Not designed for picky people that bitch about insignificant details. For 21K, this car has a lot. Want a race car? Buy a Corvette!!!. Someone on a budget could give 2 fucks about those details.
Nope. Dont buy. The 3cyl is a joke. When telling us what not to buy our mechanic friend named this one.
don't even need a mechanic friend to know that a tiny engine with a turbo is not going to last very long. the engine may very well be fine on a smaller subcompact cars made for the euro and asian markets but this tiny thing on a larger suv/crossover is going to kill that thing prematurely. i do love the look and tech in it and how the infotainment screen is angled towards the driver, is pretty neat and all new cars should have that standard.
Still $400/mo for a lease. I could get a wrangler for that!
IDK WHERE UR LOOKING AT, $215 FOR ME, 3K DOWN
And still deal with low qualityness 😂
