2013 Chevy Trax (same as the Buick Encore just better)



Fully loaded , XM , OnStar (she can start it with her phone from the factory , that's gonna be nice this winter) , AWD , Leather , Sunroof , 5 spoke 18s' , blah blah.

Nice ride , gets great mileage gonna be comfortable for road trips , and when we settle down and make babies there's room in the back for carseats

Why do you call it better than the Buick Comes second? (Encore) I've got no opinion really, just curious. I kinda think they look like shrunken Enclaves/Equinoxes. It looks nice though.

I've never seen a Trax before! I thought the Buick was built on the Captiva.

Its got better options than the buick , and is almost 10k cheaper. I like the encore , but they share everything under the skin , the trax had better seats , a real touchscreen (the encore has a screen but its not a touchscreen as its too far away from the driver to be allowed to be a touchscreen) and that didn't work at all. The buicks only real upgrade was slightly nicer rims and better headlights.

But these 5spokes are nice , easy to clean in the winter time.
As for the headlights... well its me we are talking to here so this girls getting a 40" Rigid on the roof rack.

more pics, please - BC

Nice looking Trax! I've seen one on the road over here now too.

It's a smaller platform than the Captiva. the Buick Encore is essentially a re-badged Opel/Vauxhall Mokka. The Trax is shares the same platform as the Mokka too.

More pics please! Looks like an interesting rig.

Yep, the Captiva is just a rebadged last-gen Saturn Vue, which in essence is an Opel as well, just a different model and one size bigger than the Trax/Encore.

My wife and I were at the road races at Brainerd International Raceway last weekend, and spotted a Chevy Orlando in a Walgreens parking lot that had come over the border. Made me do a double take! Interesting how the Canadians get some of the Euro cars. (For instance, I've spotted a Nissan X-Trail with Canadian plates in Duluth twice).

And you guys get the Chevy SS and the Camaro Z/28 .............

Ill get some more pics when shes not ilthy
