The windshield wipers that came with the Trax were horrible so I have to change those out right away. I'm a single guy and don't … need much space as a vehicle goes, so this is perfect, but if you have a larger family or like to haul lots of items around this is not the SUV for you. It has two USB ports in the front, which is nice, but the space its in is pretty small so your phone or accessory might not fit and will have to find another solution. The seats are a bit small, especially if you're a bigger person, and this also makes the arm rest hard to use. In terms of actual functionality, the Trax’s infotainment system is simple to use and responds quickly, where the HR-V is slightly slower and more complicated.I love the size of the 2017 Chevy Trax and some pretty nice features with OnStar. And it is also slightly limiting, as you can’t get navigation in a Trax without using one of these systems, which depend on a smartphone.

If you can live without the quicker powertrain though, the advantage is increased fuel economy.
