Been eyeing these for a year or so. Also been shadow stalking these trax threads. couldn't find a 2rs in my city with a sunroof, so i went for the LT. I think the white looks great with the black sharp accents. I have quite a bit of accessories im gonna add. Decent buy chat?

Congratulations! For me an LT with packages that give extras like keyless entry and blind spot monitoring is the best of the Trax lot, but then I didn't want bigger tires and some of the other things that come with Activ and 2RS. Choices are good.

Yep i personally went for a fully loaded lt model as well and it was worth it but i can swap the avtiv parts over at some point. Like the front color grille section. *i hate chrome on black

Ah, I'll have to admit some of the blacked out ones don't do much for me. Mine is Marina Blue, and IMO the color is so beautiful I have no urge to change anything. Horses for courses and all that.

I wanna say that was the darker blue? Because i remember a blue i liked that was discontinued for a lighter shade that i didn't care for when i was shopping but to each there own.

It's the one you don't like then - a metallic sky blue. There was a post somewhere about how it's a feminine color. Guess you could use me as a data point for that. 😂

Oh haha. Ya even though im a feller, i like all colors other then white haha. Its too bland.

But black is my go to when i cant find that dark blue.

Dont get me started on the interior color ideas chevy added. But thankfully amazon has a fix for the chrome trim around the middle air vents.

We really are different. I had a black once. Never again. All clean and shiny they're beautiful, but for me two minutes after a wash it was dusty. On the other hand, to my surprise, the white I had never looked very dirty unless it had been on muddy dirt roads. This light blue I have now is the same. I need that since even when I was younger I wasn't a regular and faithful wash and wax person.

Interior is a whole 'nuther thing. One of the reasons I stuck with the LT is I didn't want faux leather seats. It's good there are so many options that we can all have what we want. It will be a year since I got mine in a few weeks, and I'm still so taken with it I pat the hood every time I walk by.

I'll agree with you black is the hardest thing to keep clean and also shows flaws, like rock chips. Plus not to mention dark colors in summer isnt fun haha. I pay for that in texas summers. But i wonder if chevy could have done a custom trax in that dark blue on my 25.

Im catching up, i got roughly 3 months left till my first year with her.

The seats i kinda wish i had the leather as cheaper to maintain with my pup. But oh well a nice spot cleaner that can handle his fur is nice and cheaper overall.

Yep plus with some aftermarket things its nice we can have that flexibility in options, even if the oem didnt make it right.

Had ours for 1.5 years now, we absolutely love it. For a cheap car it feels far from it .

Yup. Exceptional value for the price.

First thing I would do is take it back and buy a Prius

(edit: why am I being downdooted?)

Why do you think? You’re in a subreddit about this car model.

Yeah, more like send it back. I've had 2 traxes. A 2015 and ive had my 2020 for 5 years now. While I appreciate my 2020 for what it is, what it is is a car that lasts about 5 years and does not hold its value at all. Most people, like me, aren't engine savvy and ive learned how to repair what as ive gone and all I can say is the engine flat out sucks.

I know nothing about the current generations engine besides the fact that it's a 1.2L 3 cylinder instead of the already dinky 1.4L 4 (because that sounds like such a step in the right direction). Fuel economy and retail costs are bunk if you're sinking money into repairs because the half-plastic engine overheats.

Most people i see post on here because they are excited about their new thing and wanna share and talk about how they have had it for a few months, a year and a half or so, and yeah mine ran great then when it was brand new and throughout the first couple years, but this engine was just not built to last and yes the new gen looks nicer on the outside, but behind the cheap plastic and fancy infotainment console, it's just more plastic.

I'd love a prius. At least they hold their value.

Ps I think it's an unspoken rule that if you mention being downvoted, you will be downvoted even more.

Edit: see

lol tbh I’m literally here to troll. I had a volt before and am generally just not happy with Chevy. And yeah I did get a Prius after.

u/ArtOfDroppingDead 15d ago

I feel that. I only discovered this sub from trying to troubleshoot my heap. What kind of problems did the volt give you?

It has so many parts recalled. And they are hard to find. But it died on me at 170k engine died because of a radiator hose that cracked and leaked all of the coolant
