You could make the argument that it's irrelevant, especially for the buyer demographic, which I suspect likes to blast Limp Bizkit on the CD player. Which, naturally, is also an extra-cost option. The softtop is still something of a pain to operate, although it seems to work a little better than the one on our old Tracker. I also have to admit the styling is adorable. It hits the right note there, on the outside.
Problem is, most people drive from the inside.
That's where the two-door Tracker fails miserably. I mentioned the engine. What I didn't talk about was the unsteady feeling you get when driving this short-wheelbase vehicle. At freeway speeds, the two-door Tracker gives you the impression of riding a roller coaster. And don't try to take a turn too fast.
