1994 Geo Tracker 2 door convertible review from North America
"Not perfect - but close"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's door nearly fell off when the bolts holding it on pulled through the door pillar - this is a manufacturing defect, as the small square nuts inside the door pillar are stuck on a very thin peice of metal they should have reinforced.
The velcro on the rear top corners didn't hold the top in around the rear window.
General comments?
This vehicle is so dependable, easy to work on, durable, and fun, and cute, and looks so good, never rusts etc - that it almost makes you forget it doesn't handle very well being so short and tall. I think it would flip in a heart-beat. I know a slight breeze on freeways will blow you all over the road. The rear end will let go easily in slick conditions, especially in 2wd. 4wd is much more stable. Ride is rough with 30 psi tire pressure.
