My Geo-Babe'

"I have been driving for over 30 years now and have owned a variety of daily drivers; from Jaguars, to VW Cabrio's, to Toyota's, to GM gradma sedans. This is by far my favorite vehicle. The only thing distracting about it is the road noise due to it being a soft top. The suspension gives it a smooth ride, pick up and gas mileage (20mpg) are as expected for its age and size, it is comfortable and things are easily accessible inside. I bought it from the original owner and have had it for 3 years now. I have had very few repairs (none major) and just the usual maintenance. I have a bright pink one w/aqua accents. I love the fun colors!!!! Both exterior and interior. Trackers have a big fan base in my area, too. I plan to keep this car forever."

I love my Packer Tracker

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 176,000

Pros: "Fun summer drive"

Cons: "Horrible in Wisconsin winters"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4

"I bought this as a used vehicle 5 years ago and love driving it in the summer. It was not made for winter driving, though, which is a bummer in Wisconsin. I have replaced the starter, heater blower motor and convertible top in the last 2 years. It did not come with 4 wheel drive. It is great for driving around with the top off on a beautiful summer day!"

Owned for 18 years..Sorry to let go

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 117,000

Pros: "Reliable, great in the snow. Fun with top down"

Cons: "Noisy, cheap interior, bad radio"

"Bought this car new for my wifes birthday. She loves it. We got the hard shell to replace the convertable top at the dealers and thought it was a good investment. Car is GREAT in the snow. With the exception of replace the timing chain at 105000 we had no problems. I must let it go now because the undercarriage failed inspection. Body and engine are still great. Wife is broken hearted it was her "Lady".... Great car and we plan to replace with another tracker. Interior is plastic and what you would expect from a car in that price range. Radio/speakers stinks, and a lot of road noise, which is why low scores on quality, interior etc. STILL great running car, and I believe we got our money's worth."

Amazingly reliable

By Eric (AZ) on Friday, March 30, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 186,000

Pros: "reliable, low maintenance, good gas mileage"

Cons: "very basic, loud wind noise inside on the highway"

"When my wife convinced me to buy this vehicle 10 years ago I was skeptical and far from excited about it. The vehicle was originally white and was painted (by a previous owner) a color that a friend of our appropriately labeled "waterproof yellow". Needless to say I was not excited to purchase this vehicle but I did and for only $1600. The vehicle had 89,000 miles on it when we purchased it. We have put on almost 100,000 additional miles. All I can say is that it has been an amazingly low maintenance and reliable vehicle. It has really shocked me. I used consumer reports to research the vehicles reliability when we bought it and they were right on they said they need more regular exhaust replacement and otherwise they are extremely reliable and that was so true. Just about to replace the exhaust system again but the last replacement was 10 years ago so I really can't complain. This is a surprisingly great vehicle and as it approaches 20 years old next year on the same original engine I have to say "I never would have thought I would be saying this about an automobile, but this is the best investment I have ever made.""
