Chevy Trax joins the cute-ute party

“Driving the Trax, there was virtually no hint that we were behind the wheel of an all-wheel-drive car. The chassis felt zippy, and the Trax swallowed up imperfections in the road with uncommon poise. The steering stayed straight and refused to get into a tug of war with the driver when going over a serious potholes. Since we managed to find a few terrible B-roads just to see how the Trax would do, we were pleasantly surprised that the suspension declined the invitation to get flustered and transfer its unpleasantness into the cabin when traveling over a long series of bumps.The Trax also comported itself well in turns, much better than we would have expected from the rather short (100.6-inch wheelbase) and tall compact SUV. So no, this isn't the Tracker that your college roommate had 15 years ago. The Trax we drove felt ready for emergency maneuvers, and it never felt like it was close to getting out of control even when making some rather tight turns on wet roads.” -- AutoWeek
