Repair shop owner here. I know this wasn't your question but I have to throw this out there..... The amount of major jobs we have done on Chevy Trax/Chevy Cruze (same drivetrain) lately has been ridiculous. Turbos, fuel rails, oil coolers, etc. Especially on 2014 and up. There is a reason these things are inexpensive to buy. They were produced largely as fleet vehicles and not made to last. Pretty much all cars have their quirks but as far as I'm concerned these vehicles are hot garbage. If people keep buying them I am going to be able to retire young.

Depends what year you're looking at. Generally speaking they are pretty much in line maintenance-wise with other large SUVs.

Oh brand new? Goes nuts then. They may have changed the Trax for the better I don't know. I saw issues up through the 2018 models. Haven't seen many newer than that. Get the Trailblazer anyway the name sounds cooler.
