A sport-utility, even a small one, is not a car when it comes to handling on the road. With a relatively short wheelbase, narrow track, and high center of gravity, cornering limits are lower than for regular cars. The tall stance magnifies any motion. These characteristics can make a trip to the store into an adventure, and may be among the reasons people buy SUVs. The 4- door Tracker has good, modern suspension tuning, with minimal harshness in the ride.
Visibility is excellent.
It shifted quickly and smoothly and made traffic in the urban jungle much more tolerable. The Tracker has plenty of power around town, and is a reasonable highway cruiser. In 4WD low range, it can climb trails well. Ground clearance is adequate for all but the lunatic fringe, and it can be equipped to tow up to 1500 lbs. Think of it as a compact station wagon with an attitude.
