1991 Geo Tracker 2dr. 4x4 review from North America
"Trail buggy extreme!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
75,000 miles - Timing belt, which should have been replaced @ 50,000/per service manual.
77,000 - New soft top. The factory top had shrunk in the back and could no longer be secured.
80,000 miles - O2 Sensor.
100,000 miles - Valve adjustment.
Since then, nothing other than regularly scheduled tune-ups have been done.
General comments?
The first thing I did after purchase is, replace the stock air filter with a K&N high flow air filter and noticed an immediate power increase. I even gained a few mpg which, I lost again when I added larger A/T tires and wider rims, due to the extra weight.
This little truck will out climb and out crawl, (even in 2wd) most other stock SUV's I've run across on the trail.
It rides a little rough, even for a compact SUV, but, it does have a pretty strong suspension for such a light vehicle.
