Nothing has gone wrong with this car for me, yet.
The Tracker is an alright performer for the gas mileage it gets. I can burn a little bit of rubber when I punch on the gas at 35 mph and shift it into L (low). But that's probably because I put a K&N air filter on it. That boosted power about 5-7 and a little bit in gas mileage.
Get this, I raced my friend in it against his 1992 Acura Integra with a performance muffler, cold air intake, and 4-2-1 headers, and my 2nd and 3rd gear kept up with him! First gear is a little slow, but the other gears are alright. For everyone who thinks Trackers are weak, you're wrong. All you have to do is take the exhaust off from the catalytic coverter back, and a good air filter and this little SUV will kick you in your seat.
For gas mileage I get about 32 in the city and I don't know about the highway. All I know there is that you're running about 4,100 rpm and your gas tank needs filled up every hour and a half.
I doubt very seriously that the Tracker gets 32 mpg in the city. Maybe on the highway - and that on a very good day. But these vehicles are rated at about 24 mpg on highway, with the automatic tranny.
