There is plenty of storage, and there is a USB port and 3.5mm jack in the glove box, which seems like a bit of an afterthought, due to the fact that there is no gap or spacing to run a cord out of without leaving the glove box open. Dash layout is fine, though the digital dash does come off as a little low tech. If you listen to a lot of music on your drive, you will appreciate the Bose speakers, which are great. The LTZ came with pretty much every available option. Ok, enough about that, let's move on to the rest of the vehicle. This would only be a surprise to people who have not taken the time to read the manual, because on page 212 of the owners manual, it states clearly that "Going less than 35mph, push the accelerator pedal halfway down", if going 35mph hour or more, push the accelerator all the way down". The other thing that is somewhat amusing is that reviews have mentioned that in terms of harder acceleration on the Trax, you really need to "stand on the pedal" for maximum acceleration. I do believe that the 6-speed transmission on the Trax makes a big difference in terms of gearing, while the CVT seemed to constantly struggle to find the right gear. The Honda also had CVT (continuous variable transmission) and was a 5-speed, where the Trax does not have CVT and has a 6-speed transmission. The Civic always felt like it had a "piano on it's back" so to speak, regardless of whether it was driving up a hill or on level ground. My previous vehicle, a Honda Civic EX-L, which actually had slightly more HP (1.8L In-Line 4) than the Trax (1.4L In-Line 4), couldn't touch the acceleration of the Trax. The engine on this vehicle handles it like a champ! I can pass other vehicles with relative ease, acceleration is more than adequate, and the engine never feels like it's struggling. I live in … the mountains of Colorado, and a large portion of my commute to work consists of high altitude driving, including inclines with a 6% grade or higher. My experience so far could not have been more different. AutoCheck Vehicle History SummaryĪ lot of car for the money! Bought my 2016 Trax LTZ "Midnight Edition" while Chevy was running a promotion offering 16% off sticker price, so I saved over $4500! First thing I want to address is the engine, which both professional reviewers and others have listed as "sluggish", "slow", "tepid" etc., you get the idea. I would highly recommend Peter and Tom Bell Chevrolet. I appreciated Peter’s honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. I left knowing I got exactly the car and features I wanted for a great price. He made sure I test drove my new Blazer and spent extra time going over all the new features as well. The day I picked my car up Peter took great care to make sure I qualified for the military discount as well as another Chevrolet discount. He always got right back to me either by phone or text. He was extremely helpful in assisting me to custom order my Blazer 3LT from the factory with all my preferred features, gave me a signed copy of the factory order, and kept me updated throughout the 4 mos wait. Peter arranged for me to test drive both the 4 and 6 cylinder versions so I could see which best suited me. He was pleasant and very professional throughout the entire process. Peter Hernandez made my car purchase a very positive experience. Located in Redlands, CA / 66 miles away from Los Angeles, CA
