1996 Chevrolet Tracker 1996 Geo review from North America
"I love it. For the age and miles I am very happy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just had to put a starter on it two weeks ago.
The starter parts and install ran $175.00.
A sensor went out also.
This is the second clutch I am putting in it today.
One three years ago and the dealer told me it only had a two year warranty.
I have had it almost 4 years and besides brake pads and tires this is really the first time I have had to do anything to it. I did buy it used and the clutch was put in by the dealership under wawarrenty. I am alittle shocked that I am putting a clutch in it so soon.
It is a 1996 though and I really have been pleased with the performance and gass miliage. I Ooops Cattaletic converter is out also. I don't believe I am hard on the clutch most of the time I think I baby it.
General comments?
I really have been happy with it. I have had routine oil changes and I had regular tires put on it. I had the great big tracker tires taken off and I think it handles much better.
Wow even with the regular tires the 4 wheel drive is great I think it handles sooo well in even the worst weather.
I was driving my Geo in a snow emergency and my vehicle was the only one handling well on the road.
Other 4 wheel drives weren't doing near as well
I was just so pleased I was able to drive when I had to especially as bad as the weather was.
I think it is adorable and fun. My kids love it.
17 & 13 I go into the store sometimes and they have the top all stripped off. It really is fun.
However one think is I do have a minor stalling out issue sometimes. It seems that if I keep at leleast mid grade gas and only BP gas that it takes care of the problem.
