"It's been a very good car for me."

"Geo tracker"

"We own two of these at this time, a 1991 manual and a 1993 automatic. They are great little all purpose vehicles and have proved reliable and inexpensive to run. Quality is not high end because they aren't meant to be luxury vehicles, but they do their work with ease and are comfortable whether on rough terrain or highway."

"Gets the job done from point a to b"

"I got this car at a very dam near free price. I've had it for about a year now. The only time it has failed me was on louisiana bad highway roads that cause me to catch a flat. And the tires can be hard to come by when needed right away. Other than change out the clutch plate when I first got it' I have never had to do any major work to it. The outside cosmetically has a few scratches and failed paint job. The inside has been redone by pulling the carpet completely out and rhino lineing the entire inside except for the dash. Over all I love the little car."
