This affordable sport/utility is appealing to those whose sense of fun and adventure might find the family car too stifling. Good economy makes it a sensible choice as well. Built by Suzuki for the Geo nameplate, the Tracker has a car-like feel, but one mustnΓÇÖt expect the same level of ride comfort because the short wheelbase and sturdy suspension are designed to take in off-road driving as well.
The 1997 Geo Tracker is available in six versions: 2-door Convertible, 4-door Hardtop and 4-door LSi Hardtop, all of which are available in 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. All models come with dual airbags. Four-wheel ABS and cruise control are available.
The 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine, rated at 95-horsepower, is zippy enough if you donΓÇÖt use it for extra heavy duty, but the noise level is much higher than the average car. The LSi model has automatic locking hubs, which means that one doesnΓÇÖt have to get out of the vehicle to manually turn the hub to switch from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive.
