1996 Geo Tracker Reviews - Page 6 of 9

I had to replace the battery once.

My heater went on the blink at 120K.

I replaced the timing belt as suggested (85k+) in the manual---nothing was wrong with it.

The convertible soft top is finally showing serious signs of threads fraying at 139K.

I cannot believe how long this car has lasted. I have the oil changed religiously (every 2K).

I still think this is the cutest SUV out there---other than its big brother the Land rover.

Recently, my Tracker began stalling out at stop signs, and I am currently having a clutch repair estimated.

I also had to have the 4 wheel drive hubs cleaned and re-built at about 100K.

I replaced the brakes once, tires once, and basic items like windshield wipers and headlights.

It does tend to blow around in high wind, but that's expected for an SUV.

Finally, the Service Engine Soon light has been on for three years; no mechanic could find the problem, so I ignored it. So far, so good!

This car is GREAT! It goes through anything while in 4X4 - snow, mud, ruts, my woods, you name it.

Very reliable. It has always started, and runs well.

It's definitely fast enough for the curvy roads of PA!

This is a car I can count on, and the amount of repair I have put into it for the 100K I have put on it seems reasonable.

But, if you buy one, get A/C!! Life is horrible in the summer without it, even with the top down.

Clutch was replaced at 80,000 miles.

With the size engine lacks acceleration, but will run at 70-75 all day and still get over 30 miles per gallon.

Stereo locked and there is no pass code available without a fee.

My exhaust has a leak and is loose.

My speedometer ticks continously.

My power steering ticks continously.

My tracker was wonderful during all the snow.

Absolutely perfect performance and reliability - only had to replace tires once also.

The only thing I didn't like was that in the wind on the highway, you really had to use two hands to handle it.

The "Service Engine Soon" light went on. The car runs fine though. A mechanic suspects that it might be the ERG Valve... an expensive repair... so I just removed the light bulb from the dash panel.

I have replaced both headlights twice because of the daytime running lights.

This is probably one of the best cars I've owned, and I've owned a lot! It's fun to drive, economical, and has gotten me through some heavy snow storms.

Although the overall size is small, my 6'3" frame fits comfortably behind the wheel.

My son is looking for a used first car, and wants me to give up my Tracker to him, but he's got a fight on his hands for that one.
