1998 Chevrolet Tracker review from North America
"A totally adequate little 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes needed relining at about 55000km, and front axle u-joint flex covers needed replacing at about 80000.
General comments?
This is an entirely decent, rugged, little 4x4. It can make hiway speeds, yet it can manage endless off-road stump-jumping. The ride isn't as smooth as my Honda Civic, but, on the other hand, it isn't fazed by ditches or potholes. It's a whole lot more civilized than the Suzuki Samurai. Some off-roaders tell me that Suzuki front axles are stronger, but mine are still OK. It even has air-conditioning.
