1996 Geo Tracker Reviews - Page 3 of 9

Nothing has gone wrong except for some normal wear and tear: My front speakers blew, I didn't crank the radio. The plastic cover on the door came loose, but an easy fix. The soft top ripped, so I bought a hard top.

I love this car. It's my fourth one. Rides kinda of like my escort, low and turns sharp. It's a 5 speed. All of my pedals are easy for me to reach, the gear shifter is at just the right height. It's the best car I bought. Just blows around a lot, but I love it.

Front passenger seat broke (would recline if you leaned back).

Check engine light came on due to emissions leak.

Rear window seam began to unravel.

Rust began developing along the windshield.

As a second car, Trackers excel.

Fun in the sun, goes in the snow. I was very impressed with it's snow performance. Even 26 inches of snow did not stop my little 4x4.

Gas mileage was good. Also because the vehicle is so light, tires last forever!

Car is noisy on the highway however and uncomfortable on long trips (more than 90 minutes or so).

Despite small size, it is comfortable for 4 people for short rides. Cargo space is very limited however. Despite this - one of the best vehicles I've ever had for yard sales. Very agile and easy to park.

Much tougher than it looks. A woman in an Eclipse ran a stop sign and hit the front of my Tracker. The entire side of her car was caved in. I lost my front license plate and had a scraped bumper. I was able to drive away, she had to be towed.

The lock out hubs had to be replaced.

I love my 1996 Geo Tracker. I purchased this for $1,500 as a second winter driver and the body is virtually flawless. It was garage kept and older lady driven. It's performance in in the snow keeps up with my friends jeep wrangler (just does not get around as quick). Handles well even though everyone told me it would not. Not so comfortable, causes lower back pain after an hour or so (and I'm only 24 in good shape). I would like to get a brush guard for it, however, nobody seems to sell them. Does anyone know where I can get parts to make this look a little more, dare I say masculine?

Check Engine Light went on. Needed new O2 sensor.

Stalled when rolling to a stop. I bought it with 106,000 miles. Still had original battery (believe it or not) and never had a tuneup. Got a new battery and a thorough tuneup. Now runs great.

This Geo looks brand new. Still shines. I love it. The only way I will sell it is if my wife forces me. She wants a "real jeep". But this car is much cuter and works just the same as a "real jeep". I love it just fine. No regrets on buying it.

The only thing that I ever needed to replace was the exhaust.

This car handles great, in rain or snow.

It gets great gas mileage.

The inside might be a little small, but it is very comfortable.

Not many blind spots; only one (where the back tire is)

It always starts, even when it freezing outside.

The convertible top is very easy to take on and off.

Easy to maintain.

Nothing other than Ac needed recharging.

These cars are built tough. I am a previous jeep wrangler owner and if you want headaches get a jeep.

If you want reliable transportation and good gas mileage buy a Geo Tracker or Isuzu.
