1996 Geo Tracker review from Mexico
"Love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nada, nothing, has gone wrong. It had been well maintained and was in cream puff condition when I bought it.
I don't care for the back window bar on the convertible top, it limits access. I would recommend a removable hardtop over the soft top, but I love the ease of folding back just the front section for a 'moon roof' exposure. Have never bothered to unzip the whole thing; seems like that would be too difficult and it's way too dusty where I drive anyway.
It's a little noisy, but mostly from rattles from the hard use I put it to.
General comments?
I'm a 59 year old single woman, and I love my car. Purchased it in Phoenix, AZ, USA and drove it down Mex 1 to my beach palapa there, where it is my only vehicle now.
It's reliable, it's fun, it goes everywhere, and I mean everywhere. It's quick. and people offer to buy it all the time.
