Summary
We admit to some prejudice when we approached the Geo Tracker 4x4 Convertible. We looked at it as a suburban toy. Maybe it is, but it is really fun to drive on- and off-road. It handles well, performs up to admittedly modest expectations and looks good doing it all. We wouldn't want to take it trout fishing in Montana or bear hunting in Alaska, but to get around town or for trips to the beach or in the country, it's just fine. We also are hard-pressed to add more to it. While $14,000 is a lot of money when compared with a compact car, it's at the low end of the 4WD market. If you're looking for this kind of fun and can pay for it in spite of limitations, in comfort, convenience and capacity, the Geo Tracker 4x4 Convertible deserves your consideration.
