    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.

      Seriously this car was like 11k new. Companies hadn’t full on started taking advantage of everyone yet.

    There are like 50k people who looked at the Cybertruck and thought: “I want to spend $100k on that!”

    We shouldn’t be judging the past here.

    3.9% APR

    Average APR on new 48-month auto loans (couldn’t find historical data for 60-month, but 48-month is generally lower) ranged from ~11.8% to 7.5%. The average hasn’t ever been that low, but the lowest on record I found was in about 2015 at around 4.1%

    If the Geo brand came back this very instant with their peak model mix, they would be insanely successful right now.

    But the Tracker isn’t a terrible choice.

    It’s for when you want a Jeep Wrangler, but a bit more affordable and a bit more daily usable.

    Very compact, decent use of space, relatively good gas mileage for what it is, okay off-road capability, available manual transmission… There’s a lot to like here. Honestly, it’s the compact crossover before compact crossovers were a thing … except that it has more off-road ability than pretty much any modern compact crossover.

    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.
