  By Kevin McKinnon - August 21 - 1:39 pm

  my car is a 4 door automatic chevy tracker. I had to replace to radiator and water pump but now it runs fine. for backing up easy as pie. My car was on empty and put 20 dollars and gas was 2.48 where I live and it filled half a tank.

  Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By GEO Fan - February 7 - 12:58 pm

  This car is the most versatile, fun vehicle Ive ever owned. It gets 29 mpg w plenty of power from the 2.0 engine. 4WD goes through any mountain snow storm. I take it up steep mountain dirt trails in a foot of snow. I go off-roading in the summer in rural Appalachia driving though streams, ATV trails & deep mud. I use it as a commuter economy car during the week. More reliable than the Corolla/Prizms, better MPG & 4WD than Suburus Ive owned. The only problem was with the transmission. Needed rebuilt at 116,000. Otherwise its still like new after 10 years/122,000 miles. I plan on driving it over 200k just as I have w Suburus & GEO Prizms. My next vehicle - another Tracker.

  Love my Tracker - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By OVUgirl - August 21 - 5:23 pm

  I bought my Tracker on a lark, just out looking one Saturday. What a great find it was and still is. Tracker had 44,000 miles on it in 2004 and now has 122,000 with nothing but regular oil changes, brakes, tires and a timing belt. This is a great little SUV and really fun to drive or go muddin with. I can throw all kinds of mud on my friends expensive trucks and SUVs! Its a riot. Best vehicle I ever bought, and I bought my first in 1968.

  Economical, Reliable 4 Wheel Drive - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By Bruce A Goetz - July 9 - 11:00 pm

  Fun to drive, handles well suprisingly roomy inside. Underpowered on highway, but economy is good tradeoff, never less than 19 MPG to 24 highway. Reliable - 140,000 miles & still going strong. Only garage work required was AC Fan (AC has been somewhat of a pronblem since) oil leak repaired. OEM Uniroyal tigerpaws ran 130,000 miles - first brake job needed at 136,000! Great in the snow! Seats uncomfortable for over 1 hr drives, strong winds at highway speeds affect handling. Drove hard 125 miles a day for 1 1/2 yrs over 2 winters, 4WD made slippery roads very manageable. 4WD, CD, cruise, ABS, power windows Oh my! Great hunting/fishing SUV, pulls 20 boat easily for under 20 mile trip.

  Never broke down in 8 years - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By KennyS - June 28 - 8:44 am

  This car has never broken down once since December 1999 with only 400 miles to start with. I changed the oil religiously and never drove crazy. Ive recently had the brake pads changed for the first time in 8 years. Ill be driving this car over 2,000 miles from TX to WA so Ill really be testing it now. The exterior black plastic runner along the drivers side door has come unglued and is about the only noticable defect. I dont know if Im just lucky or if I have the only Tracker that was built to last.

  1999 4WD Automatic Conv. - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By eaoreilly - January 23 - 8:01 am

  I bought this car for its 4WD capacity. I live on a hill, and in snowy winters, its great, and I love it. Its got 111,000 miles on it now, and the only real problems that Ive had is with the wheel bearings giving out and the 4WD having some problems, but other than that, Id purchase this car again in a heartbeat!

  Not what I expected. - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By DKJones96 - September 15 - 4:44 pm

  I bought this car to replace my Toyota Cressida. Big mistake. In 9 months and 12k miles, Ive had to replace the alternator that actually left me stranded, blower fan, the radiators fiberglass end-caps have cracked and started leaking, the tensioner and idler pully were worn very badly, and the car has 75K on it and none of those items are maintenance related. Repair is expensive. The electric fan breaks off the fins on the condenser hurting a/c performance a lot. The body squeaks, and the cheap plastic tabs all need replaced. They either fall off or break when removed. Mileage in 70/30 hwy/city averages 19MPG. Not impressive for a 4 banger, and its slow.

  1999 Chevy Tracker - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By Jack - October 11 - 2:34 am

  During the first 5 months of ownership, the dealer had the transmission out 5 times due to broken synchronizers. The last time, they checked, and found a service bulletin from the factory that a few transmissions were built without a certain synco kit. When they replaced it in my tranny, that was the last of my problems. Other than that, this is as close to the perfect car that I have ever found. Fun to drive, (5-speed), quick acceleration, I can carry two adults comfortably in the back seat. Best of all is the gas milage. I have the 2.0L engine, 5-speed, two wheel drive. No matter how I drive the Tracker, I get 30 mpg. I took the car on a 2K mile trip and never got tired of sitting in it.

  Not bad for a girl car - 1999 Chevrolet Tracker
  By thejester157 - August 29 - 7:42 am

  I thought when I bought this car I was buying a girl car, but getting a good deal for the money I paid. I was plesantly surprised that this car is fantastic and really fits my needs. It is my familys second car and fits perfectly in that role. Not the best for familys or long road trips, But it can drive in town with the best of them. I have found that i get sufficent gas milage. Plus it fits neatly into small places.
