the purple grape
My Tracker has been very reliable. I've enjoyed seven good years and only a few minor automobile repairs. It's a fun car. I have only one complaint and that is that the car isn't the most reliable under strong winds.
Tracker
Tracker was very reliable, fun to drive in college. Never had any problems besides normal maintenance. Kept it for probably a year or two longer than I would have if I didn't like it so much.
A Bucket of Fun
I bought my Tracker 5 years ago and I would never sell it. It has 158,000 miles on it and the only thing that ever went wrong were the hubs, so I just had them replaced. I give it regular oil changes and it just goes and goes. I have taken it rock crawling and it loves the mud. Any chance I can get to go off road, I do. It is great in the snow as well. This is the most fun vehicle I have ever owned! I love my tracker, but I see rust appearing here and there. Living in the northeast is taking it's toll. I have replaced the top twice since I owned it. Each top had a different quality and I noticed this last one is lasting so much better. When this Tracker rusts away, I will be sad!
good but bad
it gives a horrendous ride. its very uncomfortable. its very vulnerable to winds and feels like a wind could take you across the road. the fuel economy isnt bad. the convertible top is a pain to take on and off. however the reliabiltiy is very good.
Cool Little Buggy
The most reliable vehicle I've owned besides my VW Bug. Travels well in all road conditions, but requires two hands on the wheel in a big wind. Rides like a truck at times, but hey, what a hoot to drive in the summer! Fuel economy could be better; I've started giving it premium grade gas and has made a big difference on the highway and as with any car...you've got to change the oil. I'm changing mine at every 2500- 3K now. Will probably last well over 200K miles ;-)
