1996 Geo Tracker Convertible review from North America
"A great commuter car that lets you have fun on the side"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The "Service Engine Soon" light went on. The car runs fine though. A mechanic suspects that it might be the ERG Valve... an expensive repair... so I just removed the light bulb from the dash panel.
I have replaced both headlights twice because of the daytime running lights.
General comments?
This is probably one of the best cars I've owned, and I've owned a lot! It's fun to drive, economical, and has gotten me through some heavy snow storms.
Although the overall size is small, my 6'3" frame fits comfortably behind the wheel.
My son is looking for a used first car, and wants me to give up my Tracker to him, but he's got a fight on his hands for that one.
