It's now April 2014, I bought my base 2001 Tracker new. It's now sitting at 177,391 miles. It's 2 wd. It's not the greatest in the snow unless you put weight in the back, as far as comfort it's not bad but compared to today's vehicles it is. I have the 2.0 4 cylinder and even now I'm still achieving 22 to 23 miles per gallon City. I'm not sure about the highway because I don't take it on the highway often only because it's a smaller vehicle and I mostly use it for driving around town. As far as reliability I have had zero problems with this, it's never broken down it always starts transmission shifts flawlessly even being at 177,000. I mostly use it for grocery shopping or quick trips around town I also have a hitch on it I haul a small utility trailer if I need to move the riding mower or something like that. I will say it can be a little rough in the wind but I've also put a larger size tire on it so it sits up a little higher which in reality causes more problems in the wind, The wider part of the tire does help for stability though.

The (99-04 ) 4 cyl Tracker is a reliable small SUV that does not need lots of expensive work. 2 things to watch for (if you plan to buy one) is Rust on the lower side running boards.. typical for many of them. and Idle that drifts up and down (500/900rpms) when sitting in drive at a stop light. But, with those 2 things in mind.. I loved my tracker... with good snow type tires... it goes like a tank in winter snow. MTC in Illinois

Medium sized SUV with low mileage. Good deal. Wish it had automatic windows and power locks. cute exterior
