2001 Chevrolet Tracker Base 2dr Convertible review from North America
"Good car, especially for teenagers -- no speeding tickets in this thing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At approximately 67,000 miles, the oxygen sensor had to be replaced.
Around 69,000 miles, a plastic piece in the ignition broke and I had to get a new ignition switch. For a day or two, the key was STUCK in the ignition. But nothing serious.
Neither of these were expensive repairs; I guess that is one of the shrinking list of reasons it is good to have an American made car.
General comments?
I bought this car used, so I have no previous knowledge of how it ran before 60,000 miles. But since I acquired the car, it has been pretty good to me.
It is fun to drive with the convertible top off, and it is pretty good on gas. I usually buy $10 a week, and that gets me through my hour's worth of commuting on weekdays.
The interior still looks really good, and the seats look brand new.
The passenger side window motor stopped working, I could probably get that fixed really easily; I just have chosen not to so far, since I don't roll down the windows that often. Not very fast, though.
