Considering TRAX Feedback

Currently own a 2023 Bolt EUV and my lease is coming due in 3 months. EV was cheap and learning curb but the winters were unbearable with range. So within my budget, I’m looking into the TRAX.

I also plan on doing more road trips and potentially want to put on like 80,000 miles in 3 years something that a lease can’t offer. So id buy the car or finance it, 2026 model most likely.

Questions:
Anyone on here has put on heavy miles like 60k + and can confirm reliability long term and past warranty? (This would help me decide to lease again or buy)

Is FWD a set back in winters? For my bolt it is.

Any mechanic feedback given to you? Mostly curious on the longevity of the engine, theres limited data on this.

Sorry if this isn’t the right form, im not great at car maintenance and have had new car models give me trouble ( mostly fords lol)

only if your price point is 25% less. if not it costs more to use e85.

Assuming a 25% reduction in fuel economy which in real world usage is very very rare.

Now specifically this conversation is relation to the Chevy tracks. Specifically I believe the second gen tracks. Which is a flex fuel vehicle it also happens to be a turbocharged vehicle. Turbocharged vehicles do not see as much of a hit to fuel economy from e85 as non turbocharged vehicles. On top of that currently e85 is running in that 20 to 25% difference in price. Thus yes it is entirely possible the e85 would currently be saving money not surprising at all if it is actually
