What to check on the Tracker
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 25 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked.

What the figures tell you
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
It is rated 10.7 L/100 km combined: about 32 litres every 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Room inside
It is the kind of vehicle that makes a family trip calmer.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Tracker tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting.
