1996 Geo Tracker LSI review from North America
"It is a fun little car, a great hard worker, and I would buy another one just like it if I could!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The speedometer. I worked up until it got really cold, then it stopped, and the needle (while bounces) remains at the bottom of the gauge.
The "O" Ring at the converter was gone when I bought the car.
The windshield washer works, but does not spray to the upper part of the windshield.
The drivers side window panel, on the rag top comes out of the track.
General comments?
The Tracker, is fast at turns, is fun to drive, and the 4X4 is extremely easy to use. You can shift from 2 wheel to 4 wheel without any problem.
I have found that the gas mileage is not at the point that I would like it to be, but that is a work in progress, but it starts and runs, idles so quietly that I often wonder if it is still running.
The heater will heat you out into the cold! Transmission shifts quietly also.
I have used the Four wheel drive several times, and in light of the recent snow storm, (14 inches +), it got me to and from work without a hitch.
I have not had it long enough to have the top down, or the A/C running.
