1996 Geo Tracker from North America
Summary:
The best car I have ever bought
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong except for some normal wear and tear: My front speakers blew, I didn't crank the radio. The plastic cover on the door came loose, but an easy fix. The soft top ripped, so I bought a hard top.
General Comments:
I love this car. It's my fourth one. Rides kinda of like my escort, low and turns sharp. It's a 5 speed. All of my pedals are easy for me to reach, the gear shifter is at just the right height. It's the best car I bought. Just blows around a lot, but I love it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

My engine failed at 188,350, and I took it to an independent garage for a rebuild. The problem was a warped and cracked crankshaft. A search for a used crankshaft from a 96 turned into a headache, as many owners had the same problem as me and snatched the used ones up. Often we would find one, used, but discovered it wasnt any better than my old one, warped. Several people have stated, well you got 188 thousand before you had to rebuild the engine - others say the engine should have lasted longer than that. comments?
