Good car, has its issues

published

Good car, nice drive, relatively safe. A few problems though such as smoke coming out of the A/C vents when on, an oil light which won't turn off, and a leak coming from under the steering wheel which can saturate the floor with the drips. Whatever drips out also can be extremely hot, and burn your foot when driving. Have been scolded many times. Took it in for a service to find the source. No problems detected, burnt my foot driving home. Have it booked back in, but it's just a hassle when having a busy life. Feels like the servicing is very rushed and it's just getting as many people in and out as quickly as possible.

Good car some issues

published

I found the car to be very nimble, generally cabin space very good until you want to put the back seats down for extra space. Both my wife and I are tall and like the seats to go back but when you put the seats down you lose that extra length in the front making driving a little bit cramped. I also don't like the positioning of the handbrake being so close to the passenger seat it's a bit awkward trying to release the handbrake if there is a large person sitting in the passenger seat.

Finally fixed by Dealer 2 years on. Glad we didnt have to find out/validate their statement, that the airbag should be ok, by way of an accident.

Waste of money

published

This is the worst car I’ve ever purchased. In fact it was a lemon. The car was 3 years old and started having major problems like cv joint, coolant leakage and dashboard light comes on stating lean fuel and I had to argue with Holden to fix under warranty. However not went at once, it was one thing after another. In the end the light on the dashboard still comes on claiming lean fuel again.

Great little car

published

We shopped around for a while, then decided to go with the Trax. Nothing against the other cars in the range, the Trax just suited what we wanted, and we felt that it drove the best. Economy is amazing, we owned an Almera 1.5 prior, and the Trax beats it hands down for economy. Good bit of power, throttle response can take a little while to get used to as it can be punchy from take off. We have owned it for around six months, so far it has been reliable.
My wife loves her Trax.

My Trax - Well!

published

Having owned a Commodore of great quality I decided to go Holden. I signed up for the Cruize but had buyer regret, my bad. I had to choose a Holden so the Trax was next. I was told I did not need a smart phone but I did to used the limited functions. I was horrified that one day I parked my automatic and took the key out and it started rolling because it was still in D. Who builds an auto that allows that? The infotainment system leaves a lot to be desired, especially maps. I enjoy long trips as the driving position is very comfortable but really wish I had more test drives with other brands.

I’ve had some problems with the auto gear change!! And the Same problem as someone else, my trax is blue and has peeled paint on the back under window, on right hand side, I also had paint protection done, now I have bat crap eating into roof,, it’s been at smash repairs for 5 days, go to pick it up today the paint job is trash and they never touched the roof, so back in it go’s again. I have been told this paint peeling has happened to several 2015 blue Tracey. I have got a courtesy car which is a 2017/18 Trax turbo.. a lot better than the 2015.. grrrrr so mad. I got a lemon.

Very reliable car. Never had a problem and have had mine for three years now. I do reccomend Holdens fixed price servicing option when buying this car as it helps keep the cost down. Fuel mileage is exceptional and it takes the low cost petrol without issue to the engine or performance.

When I put the back seats down I can only put one back up because the other side won't go up it keeps locking and now I have to get it fixed again very frustrating. I will not be putting the seats down again. It's not fair that I have to keep getting this problem just wondering if anyone else has this problem

Great all round small suv

published

Hired an LS in Perth and drove over 2000 km. So comfortable even over a 800 km day of driving. Plenty of space and very comfortable seats. I and over 6 foot 2. Plenty of grunt from 1. 4 with luggage and 2 people even overtaking roadtrains no problem. Great town and country car! Wife owns a cx3 and I rate it a far better car.

Ok car- should've gone for the turbo for the extra price !

published

I purchased this car one year ago and have driven it across three states 34,500kms on the clock. Smooth, comfortable and very lovely. I should've bought the turbo however only because I love the speed it brings- the LS models is a great small SUV for a couple or lone person. If you are wanting a small SUV that looks and feels great this is it- but if you want a bit of speed- go for the turbo I reckon... shortchanged myself.

I love my Holden

published

A car that is perfect for my needs, 7 lts to 100. Reliable, handles the road well, sealed & unsealed, my dog loves riding in the back section, voice regognitiom phone is great as well as the other bluetooth features. Reversing camera & visibility is excellent, storage pockets are convenient.

January 5th, 2017 Update: Love my Holden even more

Six months later, the fuel consumption is a little under 7 litres to 100 klms . Can pack quite a lot of luggage and still room for my dog in the back . The turbo pick up is excellent and has saved me from what could have been a serious accident.

Purchased in July 2021 at Kensells Tamworth .
