Been driving my Trax for two years now. I live in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Here is a brief summary of expectations vs delivery:
I expected: A reliable AWD performance.
Delivery: Yes, the awd system functions perfectly from snow to deep sand to normal road conditions. Never lost track at any time.
I expected: fuel economy.
Delivery: in summer great fuel economy, in winter great gas guzzler. The engine has to work hard in winter pushing car forward and heating the interior. There is no fuel economy in winter, period.
I expected: a car that theoretically starts 80 times a day.
Delivery: yes, it never showed it could not do that. In city car in car out stop here stop there and every time shut down and start again. It certainly was designed to do just that.
I expected: nice easy space making by folding the rear benches.
Delivery: I am 6' 1" tall and I need my chair pushed back fairly far. The trax allows that.\ and gives me plenty of room. That said, this scenario won't let the rear seat fold forward flat. It can be folded flat but you have to push front chair fairly forward and erect.. None the less I have transported quiet a variety of cargo from 3 garbage bags full of empty bottles to 4 boxes full of playground sand.
Did install a grill cover and that heats up the interior quiet faster in winter.
All in all a good choice for my requirements
