1994 Geo Tracker review from North America
"Cute little 4x4 with a bite!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Previous owner must not have been liked much because the seats were cut and it was keyed on the sides and hood, also it has some rusting.
The heat cover (or something along those lines) keeps coming loose so it makes a rattling noise, but when fixed is really quiet.
The doors constantly need greased to keep from squeaking.
Check engine light stays on for no reason.
Speakers pop.
The ride isn't one of the smoothest, and PA roads are nothing but pot holes so you can imagine...
General comments?
LOVE IT!!! Though the body wasn't the best I'm working on getting it fixed up and repainted.
Very affordable.
The top has held up really well. I use Armor all on it- protects from the UV rays- and really brings back the shine.
Most of the problems are acceptable, the engine works great (despite the check engine light on.) I always have the oil changed regularly- and checked over-no problems.
The 4x4 is wonderful in the winter- I drive 40 minutes to school and on very mountainous roads- I haven't been stuck yet.
Always starts right up in the winter. The heater will cook you- even with the soft top!!
No air conditioning-but that's what the soft top is for!
The small size lets me park where ever I want- and being parked in usually isn't a problem.
Though the body wasn't taken care of- it is a tough car that holds it's own.
