The 1997 Geo Tracker Convertible 2WD makes sense for someone specifically seeking an older gasoline convertible with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission. Expect 22 MPG in combined EPA driving, with the highway figure slightly higher than the city figure. Fuel spending is significant at the listed $3,050 per year, and emissions are 403.95 grams per mile. Its appeal is the body style and drivetrain layout, not low running cost.
