Anyone own one of these? I'm looking at one for a second car, seems like a good value based on the high prices of cars in general. I'm looking at an LT model with options (heated seats, steering wheel) under $25,000.
2024 Chevy Trax

You might want to crossshop/testdrive kia seltos, hyundai venue.
the trax is built in korea..
Know someone who just traded in his cherokee on a seltos and likes it
edit:
Just did some more research. the New Trax looks surprisingly nice.. but I need 1 car that can tow 1000lb.. Trax = 0 towing?
disappointing my 2007 focus could tow 1000lb
Lots crying about no AWD.. but even in buffalo or cleveland.. some good tires > AWD with stock tires.
Now if you were driving somewhere mountainous that needed chains.. yep probably should get the trailblazer or something AWD then put good tires on it.

If I were in the market for a new vehicle this Trax might be my first choice. Supposedly they sell pretty much the moment they hit the lot (Dave B Sells Chevy YouTube channel says this). Even though they have supposedly sold over 40,000 of these so far, I haven't seen one on the roads yet.
They liked it a lot,

IMHO almost anything (I know folks will post stupid sports cars, etc.) can tow 1000 pounds if you are smart about it.
If you want re-assurance, look up the tow rating for the same vehicle in Europe.
Buick?
Chevy
Unless thats a trim level malfunction I'd prefer the Chevy.
I'd be buying whatever trim package skipped the first monstrosity and going with the second with knobs .
I find it funny that their pic has a pixel 3xl connected
Since this is a first year car and the pixel 3 xl is about 5 years old.

No, they are made by GM Korea (formerly Daewoo). The Trax has always been made in Korea, as well as the Buick Encore/Encore GX and the current Chevy Trailblazer.
At the rate the UAW is going you’ll probably see more stuff coming out of Korea soon.
Wow that looks like a Tesla. I've been telling my wife that manufacturers copy off of one another and has been the trend since the invention.
Is the Envista even available on the dealer's lots yet?
Having written that, I'd prefer the base trim Trax, so a Buick is probably not going to fit my needs, if I have a need in the near future.
My local GM dealer has one on the lot. It’s sharp.
Hyundai Venue gets 33 highway which is the cheapest Hyundai and I'd say the Trax is a more substantial vehicle.
Guess I’m having trouble with the fact that the entry level is now a compact SUV. Not really specific about GM, just the overall market shifting. I say that owning a Cruze and a Cobalt. Lol I want that mid to high 30s mpg in the eco box sticker price.
I didn't care for the styling of the Trax when it first came out but these new ones look pretty sharp!
Every Buick dealer in my metro has them on the lot. Buick dealers are full of Korean and Chinese built Buicks, only the Enclave is made by the UAW.
