The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
5.8
7.2
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2017 Chevrolet Trax may lack power and style, but it's a smart package for city dwellers thanks to a useful hatchback shape, thrifty fuel economy, and a low price. The 2017 Mazda CX-3 keeps the most attractive features from last year: its price and its handling.
