It's a wonderful vehicle. Everyone needs one.
I love the Tracker. My grandma bought it new, and my mother inherited it. Now we drive it all the time. It's great on gas and we can haul stuff too.

Reliable and low maintenance.
This is a really dependable car. I have an older model but it still runs great. I have had minimal problems with this vehicle. The interior is a bit cramped but the trunk is large. A great car for in town or traveling. I would highly recommend this vehicle.
accountCircle Malinda M
The gas mileage is awesome! While it is only a 4 cylinder, it is a great vehicle that handles exceptionally well in the snow.
I absolutely love the size! It's perfect for the harsh Wisconsin winters. I have zero complaints about my vehicle.
accountCircle Gary D
It is tuff, rugged and dependable!
The vehicle is 17 years old and has only required regular maintenance.. Spark plugs, brake pads, etc. It's a beast in the winter snow; with it is lower center of gravity and 4 wheel drive.. It outperforms other vehicles such as.. Larger 4 wheel drive trucks and SUV's.

It's a reliable vehicle that doesn't need constant repairs
Requires little maintenance past oil changes and normal replacements like tires or brakes.The drivers window doesn't close properly though.Would need to replace entire door to fix that

Easy to use - 4 wheel drive.
We bought our tracker used, but it has been really dependable. What I like about it best is its ease of use. It has a short wheel base and is easy to park and maneuver. Ours is a 4 wheel drive and goes great in snow and is great for pulling a boat. Would buy again.

The floating axial &the rattle on the bed. The springs broke within the 1st 6m.
I like durability. I like comfort. I like gas mileage. I like the interior space in the vehicle. Only complaint is clear coat has worn off.
accountCircle Max B
We have put 250000 miles on this car and have had no major problems of any kind.
Too small to handle a family of four or more. . Good mileage both in town and highway. Handle well in town especially parking. .

Don't stand too close to the exhaust because when it starts you'll get smoked
It has become too small for my needs and it is in constant need of repair
accountCircle Jennifer F
The air conditioning still works, but the motor is burning oil and smokes a lot when you shift gears.
It burns oil, smoke comes out when shifting, 5 speed, very small through interior, only 2 doors, no trunk room, BUT the a/c still works and when I'm cruising just by myself I love putting the rag top down on a beautiful day!
accountCircle Anita E
Very small interior, especially uncomfortable if tall.
To small for me. Has multiple mechanical issues that I cannot afford to have repaired. Rides well enough. Uncomfortable for long trips.
accountCircle Kristen H
My vehicle is a fun, little, beater car that gets you where you need to go.
The vehicle itself runs well. The motor was rebuilt on it and it is an older vehicle. The body needs work done to it, there is rust all over the frame. Although the car doesn't look all that great, it runs well enough for a beater car, but I would not trust running it over long mileages.
accountCircle Diamond J
Reliable and good on gas, good 1st car.
Very reliable, minor issues come about, much older so needs work, good on gas, good heat, everything still works, door handles come off easy, small only can fit a few people, good for parking in small spots, good in snow so doesn't get stuck, has 4wd, not to flashy, ac doesn't work in summer which is miserably hot.
accountCircle Joshua H
The v6 model is great and it has a sport mode.
Car is reliable. Although all parts are Suzuki so they are kind of expensive. Is fairly fuel efficient but only moderately so.
accountCircle Emily L
Love the car, not reliable!
My car only has 107k miles on it and has a lot of issues. I like the interior, the seats are comfortable, there is great visibility. I am very good about getting oil changes on time, my family is all mechanics so my car is handled well and it needs more money in parts than the car is even worth.
accountCircle Cassidy I
Beautiful, unique Chevy tracker
My vehicle is a safe and reliable vehicle but because of its age and due to time it has a couple minor issues. I bought this car desperate of a vehicle and needing a way to get to and from my workplace. The Chevrolet Tracker was a good choice, in that it is dependable and safe to drive my children and me to and from safely.

Great for moving. I used this car twice to move into a different apartment
Performance is overall good. I bought it in 2017 with 106,000 miles on it, gave little to no problems. Minors problems like the window from time to time will fail to go roll up on it own.
accountCircle Jackie M on February 7, 2021
Good gas mileage and reliable.
I love the tracker because when I drive over something rough I do not feel it as much as I do in the lancer. I am also sitting up higher so I can get a better view of the road. We had some snow this year and I felt safer going to work. It's great for rainy weather also... I drive 30 minutes to my job and the tracker handles great. I think if I had to drive the lancer on icy roads I wouldn't take the chance driving the long distance. I think the tracker is fantastic..
