  Family of Trackers - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By Maggie - August 21 - 5:19 pm

  Ive had my 1st Tracker for 13 years. Its got almost 200k miles. Still running strong. My husband then got a Tracker because I loved mine so much. His has more than 200k. I have been iliterally in snow storms where snow plows have gone off the road but not my "go-caet". Will go through any weather!! I tell people all the time they stopped making them because theyre so great!

  10 years and still strong! - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By Dave - January 8 - 1:53 pm

  Ive had my 03 Tracker since 2003. Its a 6 cylinder so has lots of pickup. Since Im on the east coast inland we have no salt problems so rust is non existant. I did replace the hoses and belts, new radiator and alternator but now at 128,000 miles it runs like a champ. I absolutely love this little beast. The engine has been kept clean and oil replaced every 3-4000 miles. This of all the cars Ive ever owned has to be the most dependable ride Ive ever had.I do think its important to have your Tracker serviced by a dependable service technician on regular intervals and keep that oil changed like clockwork. Repair the little things that come with age and these little truck/suvs will last you decades.

  The Repair Kid Said Junk It - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By dave augenstene - November 1 - 1:34 am

  After having a 95 small Tracker that rusted out, I bought this 03 in 2013 with a good car fax and 76000 miles.. It appeared to have surface rust on bottom. The electronics and safety features were far advanced in comparison to the 95. The interior was luxurious compared to the 95. As with all Trackers it was fantastic in the snow with good snow tires on it. After a year it had leaking fuel lines and cracks in the fuel tank (I drove this only on the streets.) The shop and I discovered that Chevrolet had no replacement tanks and little else for the Tracker. No one else made an aftermarket tank either. Even a junkyard that had several of them couldnt find one decent enough to sell me. I ended up fixing the tank myself with Eastwood fuel tank sealer. I had bought the top of the line bumper to bumper warranty from Vehicle One and they have a small disclaimer in the contract that says they wont cover any problem due to rust, even though they specifically indicate that theyll cover gas tanks and fuel lines ("normal wear and tear" whatever else that is). They also made various disparaging remarks when I spoke with them about my claim. Dont buy a warranty from [non-permissible content removed]. The rockers started to rust by that time and I traded it in this month getting about 25% of what I had in it. Apparently rust is a big problem underneath on the Trackers. Buyer beware. Also I had both front door handles on the inside break. They are fun to drive but cant take the salt even when you wash the underside frequently during the winter thaws. The kid at the shop where I took it said I should just take down to the junkyard...

  Reliable, ugly little beast - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By tompaine1 - March 24 - 7:50 pm

  This is my third Tracker, and first V-6. They are kinda ugly, but they always get you home. Mine serves two purposes: toad behind my motorhome and deeep boondocks transportation for hunting, fishing, and birding. I would much prefer it to a Jeep to cross the continental divide. Wife doesnt like the seats, as they are cloth covered cinder blocks, but....hey. Ice, snow, mud, sand....never been stopped.

  Great little Truck - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By dagda567 - September 1 - 2:52 pm

  Ive had mine for about 4 months now. After having a 2002 tracker 4 cyl I wanted another. The V6 is VERY underpowered, but is adequate, its not a sports car afterall. I love the styling on the ZR2 and mine has the leather seats which are great. The fold flat floor is hady too. On complaint would be the gas mileage, I average about 16 city, and maybe 22 hwy. Which is terrible considering the size, but I love it so much I cant get rid of it!

  Great car for daughter - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By Kt - April 3 - 11:23 am

  Bought this car used for my daughter. Not a car with great p/u so i knew she would not be taking off from a dead stop. Not a lot of room in back seat so other kids did not like riding in it so i knew they would not pile into her car. Great leg room in front seat. Has used this car to travel back and forth to school in northeast. Handles great in snow and rain. Easy to park. Good car for a parent concerned about kids safety.

  Pleasant surprise - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By SJ - December 29 - 3:27 pm

  I looked at the chassis on a RAV4 and knew it wasnt what I wanted so I opted for the Tracker, which is more truck for the buck. It runs and rides like one (as would be expected), which is fine with me. Not fond of the plastic trim, radio or fan, but the overall package works- people like it, the engines a breeze to work on if you need to, and the P (power) switch works, adjusting the shift pattern to provide more power. It gets surprisingly good mileage- up to 25 mpg on the freeway at legal speeds. Too bad Suzuki gave up on the design, it was a classic.

  2003 Tracker Convertible - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By Karen - October 10 - 4:24 pm

  I found the car I wanted then starting looking for it and found it with only 47,000 miles and in mint condition. It is exactly what I wanted, fun, good mileage, and so far dependable. I am 65 and cant tell you how many seniors have stopped me to tell them they want one too. Dont know why they stopped making them.

  By Angela - September 25 - 1:40 am

  I have owned my tracker for just over a year, and has put over 20,000 kms on it so far...its a great road trip car...lots of space with the seats down.. however not much room for adults with long legs in the back.. It turns great and handles well... havent had any problems mechanically..."knock on wood".. very quiet... and reliable. Can anyone tell me what that power button is actually for??

  The perfect first car - 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
  By inlovewithyellow - September 11 - 9:49 am

  I got my tracker when I was 16, and found that it was the perfect first car. It was easy to drive, with just enough room without being a beast on the road. I felt safe and had no serious blindspots. The 4 cylinder engine was the perfect balance between power and fuel economy. It did anything I asked, from driving up curvy, curvy mountainous roads, to in- town driving, to going three miles up, three miles down on Mt. Currahee (a gravel, washed out road up a mountain...very off road). I could stow gear, friends and even haul bricks. After 6 years, it started to have a few problems starting, but started when given gas. It quit when idling at a stoplight once, but the dealer could find nothing.
