1994 Geo Tracker 4X4 review from North America
"The 94 Geo Tracker is a good value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My thermostat, clutch fan, head, water pump, heater coil, all part of the cooling and heat distribution systems were all damaged because I drove the Jeep 8 hours straight. I had to change the wheel bearings too. For a 4 wheel drive vehicle it is not cheap.
But after 1200 dollars in repairs, it has been a very reliable vehicle.
Furthermore the seats wore out, and the cloth top leaks; I believe because of age. And the power steering pump leaks.
General comments?
The 1.6 liter 4X4 Geo Tracker is a good vehicle in terms of reliability.
Performance wise it lacks acceleration between 2000-3000 RPM, with only 85 horsepower. But I will admit it is great on gas; I pay an average of 18-20 dollars for a full tank of gas.
For the price I paid ($500), I got great value. Thanks Geo for a good build.
