1998 Chevrolet Tracker Consumer Reviews

Is a good little suv, good on gas and very dependable. Oil change every 3 or 5,000 miles is all the maintance that do to the vehicle. Had to replace the timing chain cover and radiator cap and thats all after all these years.

Body on right side has lots of dings and dents but she goes and I trust her. Engine is great breaks great it's the body that's not good. I think some of the dents could be pushed out but a new right front wing panel about $100 one line and a good steam clean. I'm 65 trying to retire. With back seats down, huge cargo space.

I love this car. Parts is hard to come by, mostly junk yard or aftermarket parts. Oem parts is unavailable.

This is an incredibly durable and reliable car. My parents bought this car for me to learn how to drive on when I was 15 (bought used in 2006), and I still have it and drive it every day. It's towed all of my belongings across the continent three times, from VT to BC to TX to MA, without a single problem. Sure, the cabin is incredibly loud and the car has close to no get up and go, but eventually it gets you from A to B every single time. Over it's 19 year life, the only problem I have had was a flat tire, and thankfully there was a spare on the back so it wasn't even a problem. I've probably flushed the fluids two or three times over my course of ownership and once I needed to replace a component of the undercarriage, but that's about it. This is an incredible car and I'm going to be so sad when it finally needs to go to the scrap yard.

My dad got me a 2001 Chevy Tracker as my first car when I turned 16. The car had been a little beaten in when we got it. It doesn’t have air conditioning, the brights don’t work, and just some other small issues that weren’t dealbreakers for me. I’ve been driving the car consistently for a year now, and the only large issue we ran into was a broken axel in the front right tire. It was almost something we DIYers weren’t going to be willing to fix, but I cried and cried until my dad fixed it. The only change now is that I am limited to only RWD, but that’s not tragic. The car is incredible for learning how to drive. It’s easy to understand, it loves to go, and it’s easy to maneuver and park. If the air conditioning wasn’t broken in mine at least, I could see a well-taken care of tracker really serving someone as a good, reliable car for a long time.

I have not drove the car yet,, the field pump is not working right and that's the issue with the car

Good

I have the small engine, auto with 2 doors and 2wd. I LOVE IT!! I bought this little yellow beast new and I use & abuse it.. And it keeps on going. Other than a leaking heater core early on, this suv has beef great. For 12 years I've towed a 2000# work boat/trailer 2-3 days a week... and the boat has a 130hp I/O drive. Some days, work took me 120 miles from home. I've even pulled a small skidsteer with it. The last couple years I've been doing construction and engineering, pulling big & small loads, short & long distances without problems. Features I love: sitting higher up so I can see traffic.. not just hubcaps. (And I don't bump my head upon entering the vehicle. The automatic transmission easily pulls my boat/trailer up boat ramps. The short turning radius makes trailer handling easy. The 2" trailer hitch/receiver is very versatile, pulling a trailer or carrying a rack. And finally, I love the fiberglass top that replaced the rag top... quieter and easier to heat/cool.
