The vehicle is not made with the highest quality materials, so it is a bit noisy out on the road.
Rusted around the doors and bottom of the frame.
Doors occasionally leaked when it rained.
No frills in the basic model, so I didn't have air conditioning, power windows, power locks, or even cruise control.
Had to replace the muffler at around 103,000 miles.
A broken timing belt caused me to get rid of the vehicle at 125,000 as I was looking at repairs that were more than the vehicle was worth.
Very easy to break into the doors, had a few things stolen out of it.
Handle on the rear door would stick in the open position, so I would have to pry the key into it to get it back to the closed position. Otherwise the lock did not work on the rear door.
A great first vehicle to own. I picked it up in college and drove it for 5 years until I could buy a "newer" vehicle.
4x4 was awesome, especially living in Minnesota. Just had to hop out and lock in the hubs and it was ready to go in any condition.
One thing that I miss about the vehicle is that with its tight turning radius and compact size, it could parallel park in the smallest spaces that other cars would have to pass up.
Never had problems getting it to start, always went out and the engine fired right up.
Loved the full size spare tire.
I am the 3rd owner of a '95 Geo Tracker. The engine has only 33,000 miles on it. Even though the car is light and is a 4-cylinder I am getting is very, very low gas mileage. The previous owners got the same gas mileage as I do; 20 mpg on the highway and less in the city. It is a 4x4, but should that matter? Is something wrong with the car? Is this the norm for this car?
