Here’s Your Test Drive To-Do List Start with the Basics Typically, a model sold as part of a dealer Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, or a model that’s been regularly serviced and is familiar to your local dealer, is best. Translation? Make sure the Trax you’re considering has been consistently and properly cared for, to avoid nasty warranty-related surprises. Note that skipping or stretching factory-prescribed maintenance, or using non-factory parts or components for repair, can compromise or nullify remaining warranty coverage. Watch the warranty! Chances are that the Chevrolet Trax you’re considering has some remaining factory warranty in effect, though shoppers are best to confirm that all past owners adhered to maintenance and servicing intervals, by checking service records against the service schedule in the back of the owner’s manual. Also, confirm proper mirror positioning, and then check the Trax’s blind spots, noting that some owners report limited visibility. As such, shoppers should confirm comfort levels of the seats and ride, on a variety of road surfaces before they agree to buy. Some owners wish for a more comfortable ride, and more comfortable seats – depending on the model and trim grade. Many owners appreciate the high-tech feature content, including the MyLink app, which allows remote smartphone control of numerous vehicle functions, as well as the back-up camera and built-in Wi-Fi. It’s said to be easy to drive, easy on the wallet, easy to park just about anywhere, and easy to adapt to any combination of passengers and gear.
