That car looks pretty cool and is way better than some bullshit SUV, way to have the opposite of a good opinion
That’s a cool fucking car, I wish they still sold cars with that much personality
And death trap handling. You just look at a corner and die.
I already said I’d buy it, you can stop listing benefits
I have drifted one of these through mud and they are great :D
I’ve owned two Suzuki Samurais at different times in my life as my primary mode of transportation for a total of about 12 years of my life. Somehow I managed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground the whole time…well except for the times I purposefully took it airborne. Which both Samurais also had no problem with.
Same is true for any tall SUV or pickup, then people lift them so they can die faster.
They’re called Jimny in Japan and Latin America. Check them out. You can import a 25+ year old one for about $7000, usually with 49k miles.
Source: I’ve done it twice.
I thought the Jimny was the Samurai
The Tracker was a rebadged Suzuki
Yes, a Sidekick though
It is. But a Geo Tracker and Jimny might as well be the same.

They want you to forget 19 year olds could afford to finance brand new cars in the 90.
No body was writing 60 month car loans in the 90s
Seriously this car was like 11k new. Companies hadn’t full on started taking advantage of everyone yet.
I don’t think five year car loans existed in the ninties. Also, you could still get a car for like two paychecks back then.
I’d take that Tracker over any car built in 2026.
Very much so!
People used to pay these in 24 payments at 0% in Canada. I swear to God.
I would like 100% but that car today, it looks fucking awesome. What is it?
It’s a Geo Tracker. Geo was a brand that GM made to make partnerships with and import foreign cars without “damaging” their brand. The Geo Tracker is a GM version of the Suzuki Samarai. With some modifications they’re beasts off road.
Hilarious, Geo vehicles far outlasted any crap branded by GM.
Correct. However, a large portion of their fans are the type of people that always want to buy American. Honestly it makes sense from that standpoint. I remember everyone making fun of any Geo, especially the Tracker and the Metro. Side note, my friend had a Metro and that thing seemed to constantly be in the shop getting something fixed. I think that specific model was a dud.
There are still hundreds of those trackers on the road today. Not a single tesla or 202x chevy Malibu etc made today will be on the road in 20 years. I see junk yards full of modern cars that look like they came from a dealership because the repairs for a new engine or transmission cost more than they are worth.
I daily drive a 00 vw golf an 05 lexus that can run far into the future with me easily being able to maintain them
I had one of these for a few years. It was noisy af with a soft top. It had no guts on acceleration. Other than that, it really was peak.
Best beach city transportation. Cheap, small, convertible.
It couldn’t handle much acceleration. It weighed almost nothing so it would be hard to keep from just spinning the tires if it had any more power.
At least it didn’t break with software updates. My Kia was KIA after a firmware release designed to prevent what it caused.
I have a brand new 2026 colorado and the infotainment/bluetulooth is all fucked up, and sometimes it just doesnt detect my key fob. There’s a maintenance memo out for it,l but no fix, meaning service department can’t really do anything until a fix comes down. So im just made to wait for them to get around to fixing it. Thanks a lot, GM, you motherfuckers.
Shit like this is why I refuse to buy new cars. That and they lose half their value upon taking it home.
If the Geo brand came back this very instant with their peak model mix, they would be insanely successful right now.
Fr take the batteries out of a cybertruck and plonk em into a Metro and that thing would get 700 miles on a charge
If it could move. Probably not made for that kind of weight!
The extra battery weight down low helps prevent roll-overs, it’s a win-win
I hate that more people didn’t think that way
In the 90s anything over 3 years was frowned upon. 4 years maybe if you were desperate. Interest rates were middling, and var prices relatively about the same I think. Hard to tell but a cheap car was 7500 - 10k in the early early 90s.
Bruh if that were available today and electric and buy two
Sorry, all electric cars must be giant SUVs or crossovers with bland styling, built in iPads instead of knobs, and mandatory data harvesting
This so dumb. Trackers are a beloved classic
90s were peak car.
I had this beast…bought for $1000, drove 3 years, sold for $1000.
Women loved it, they love a frugal man.
