| Likes | Sharp redesign of stodgy predecessor with Land Rover LR3 overtones. 3.2-liter, 230 hp, VTEC V6 is sufficient. Multiple airbags, ABS, traction control, Intuitive dash. Conveniently small overall, but decent back seat and fair trunk thanks to outside spare on side-hinged door. Obvious off-road capabilities. Capable in snow and ice with locking 4WD, hill-holder and hill descent. Competitive price. |
| Dislikes | Mileage only average (18-23), cloth upholstery feels fragile for the kind of use this will probably get. Back door hinged on curb side hinders loading. |
| Verdict | Grandson of Geo Tracker has grown up well. Worthwhile alternative to CR-V and RAV4 despite poorer mileage. |
