Easy access to parts equipment and interior is made with quality fabric.

It wasn't driven much so some parts are old and worn out. But so far nothing really serious. Drives well and gets good mileage. Not much rust, first owner kept it inside and kept up on all maintenance as needed. All tires were replaced with recommended brand for proper traction.

Very reliable compact SUV.

My Chevy tracker is a very reliable car. It is a smaller size SUV which I like and it is blue which is my favorite color. The only problems I have with it is that the CD player no longer works and the check engine light does not turn off, but the mechanic says it is fine.

I have over 150,000 miles on it and I have barely had to fix anything major on it. Only replaced normal wear and tear things such as brakes, tires, brake pads.

I love my tracker, it is very dependable. I have not had any major issues with it. Love the 4 wheel drive option.

Comfortable for all riders and fun to drive!

I love the size it is a small\ compact car but has good head space and is easy to carry larger items with the swing open rear door. It is also easy and roomy for all passengers including the back passengers, the car sits a bit higher up which makes it easy to get in and out of and has plenty of legroom. Easy to park and fun to drive!

Chevy tracker. This vehicle is worth the money that I paid for it.

I bought the tracker brand new. It is comfortable and it drives smoothly. It now has 154, 000 miles and it is still going. I use this as a work vehicle because I have clients in my vehicle daily. It has cruise control and electric windows. I will not buy a car without these 2 features. I have had only one major problem with this vehicle for about 10 years. The headlights come on while I am not driving it and it drains the battery. I have taken it to shops and they tell me that they cannot diagnose it if it is not doing it when I take it to them. I have to take the negative battery cable off when I get out of it when it does this. Rain seems to make it worse. This is a good car for the money and it has lasted a long time.

That I maintain my car and it is in great condition considering it's a 2003.

I really don't have any complaints about my car. There is nothing I dislike about it. I love the feel of my vehicle. The car has a fairly smooth ride and I enjoy driving it. It is also roomy.

Loving small four door cars.

No problems that most cars don't have, like brakes and things that you need when basic repair is needed. My car is good on gas and is easy to find parking for. Easy to wash at home. I can carry grandchildren an grown ups with no problem. I would buy another when I need it. I really love this small car.

The tracker is great on gas and runs really good.

The tracker is very dependable. Just personally, I prefer an automatic. It has been wrecked so there’s some body damage and I would like to have something much bigger. However, the tracker has great air conditioning. Good on gas. Runs very good. I shouldn't complain.

Honestly I got the car in not awesome condition so keep this in mind but this car does not pick up in speed considering its small size I've ridden and driven in cars with a four cylinder that perform much better than this vehicle when making turns kind of fast I feel like this car can definitely flip but honestly that's only if you drive it like a teenager this cars top speed is not impressive either I have a hard time hitting 70 most days when working on this car it's hard because it's so compact and you often have to take a lot of time getting things off just to get to this specific thing.

Deborah H

That it's a great car. . Jus not for me.

I do not like it very much its too small for me I need room when driving. I'd like to be able to feel comfortable while driving where I am going.

Mary W

It has poor gas mileage. You don't want to buy a vehicle like this.

Does bad on gas mileage and it's kind of small. Although it does do good if you don't have to run the air. It needs work and I don't have the money to fix it.

Emily P

The 2003 Chevrolet tracker.

The Chevrolet tracker is a great get-around-town car. It gets great gas mileage and is very reliable. Oil changes have been fairly easy and inexpensive. We have had minimal problems with this car. However it is very small in terms of passenger room. It only really comfortably holds 2 passengers and is too small for an infant car seat.

Amber C

The passenger seatbelt isn't up to code. The radio likes to hold cds hostage now

It's 15 years old. I bought it super cheap. The trunk doesn't open.

charlene b

It gets a lot better mileage than others in the same class

Has good mileage but seems a little small at times. It is dependable

Brenden S

Chevy tracker as a first car

This car is an excellent car for a first car. It is easy to drive, easy to park, and relatively easy to maintain. Since it is a light car, it gets pushed by the wind on the highway.

Has good gas consumption. Has all the required features (power windows etc).Comfortable. Reliable.

I have enjoyed this car for 15 years and never had any major repairs to perform (cross fingers!) The only small complaint is that the car is too tall for its width.
