1995 Geo Tracker from North America - Comments

I have only had two problems with my tracker. I just snapped my clutch cable,where the cable meets the clutch. The second problem is more of a nuisance,than a big problem. When I purchased the vehicle, someone disconnected the check engine light. The car hesitates a little when backing up on a hill, or when turning corners. I thought it needed a tuneup, but that was not it. Now I`m trying to figure out if it's a computer sensor, or bad fuel injectors. Other than these problems, I have had great luck with it. The windows need to be adjusted, and my soft top could use replacing, but I love it. This is my third tracker. When I get rid of this one, I want to try the newer style. In 1999 Chevy/Geo designed a newer version Tracker.It`s too bad they discontinued the Tracker in 2003.This vehicle is unbelievable in the snow, and mud. It takes a serious beating in the woods,4-wheeling.I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. If your looking for good pickup, make sure you get a 5 speed. Automatics are slow. The only thing that bothers me, is the lack of security.I`m dying to put a speaker system, but I`m afraid of getting robbed. I also worry about getting struck from the rear, by another car, because there`s basically, no rear end on this vehicle.

This car is very fun. The top comes off in summer, and 4-wheel drive is great in winter. However, theres not a lot of cargo room, and on windy days on highway, it feels like it`s being pushed a little.

Good choice with a Tracker man. Awesome, reliable, fun little off road beasts, they are. And cheap, too! But I got some solutions and ideas for you. First, save 3000 bucks on a Tracker by not getting a Tracker. A Tracker is a high priced version of a Suzuki Vitara. GM can get away with marking up cars thousands of dollars (makes GM employees feel that they get a good discount).

Suzuki just has good prices for everyone. The early Geo Trackers twin was the Suzuki Sidekick. Now it's called the Vitara (or there is a Grand Vitara with a V6). Better price, same robust quality and appeal.

You, like myself, enjoy the convertible right? Good choice, they are very fun. If you want security, get a hard top, and a decent security system with shock sensors. When somebody bumps the car trying to steal from it, the alarms goes off and unless you're car is in a dark alley at night, the potential thief is likely to take off (I have three 120 decibel piezo speakers wired to a shock sensor in mine, armed and disarmed by remote only- if they want to rob me, they better be willing to sacrifice their ear drums to do it).

While there are no new convertible Vitaras or Trackers being made, you can find some really recent models in great shape with every option you could want virtually anywhere. But don't waste your money paying a couple thousand extra for the Chevy name. Get the Suzuki (The Suzuki renamed to Chevy was the only reliable car Chevy ever "made").

Actually Chevy also, renamed and sold some Toyota products as well. I had a Chevy Nova which was essentially a Corolla. It was indestructible! The Pontiac Vibe is a Toyota Matrix. There are others I'm sure.
