1990 Geo Tracker 2 Door Lsi Conv. review from North America
"Unstoppable little rig"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went out at approx. 90000 miles; belt was shredded as a result. Very easy to replace.
Clutch cable needed adjustment when I purchased the vehicle.
General comments?
Overall this is an excellent vehicle.
Very good gas mileage.
5 speed manual shifts easily and is well geared to the small Suzuki motor; 2nd gear can be a bit stubborn though.
Others will tell you they are unstable and tippy; drive it safe and it will be safe.
In 4wd low, this little truck will go anywhere. I've driven around a Jeep Wrangler, backed up to it and towed it out of a mud hole in 4 lo.
(note: mine was modified with 31" tires and 2" wheel spacers")
Don't be afraid to lift them, but I do recommend wheel hub spacers. They are inexpensive and really help with stability.
DO NOT store anything valuable in the soft top models; notorious for break-ins.
The seats aren't the most comfortable, but they accommodated my 6'3" frame well.
All in all, Trackers are really fun around town, in the snow, or through the woods to your hunting spot.
