THE Chevrolet
Tracker four-door
hardtop is probably
the most under-rated
of all the sport-utility
vehicles on the market.
This compact SUV offers
room for five passengers, a
roomy cargo area, part-time
four-wheel-drive, and a very
reasonable price of $20,890.
That’s several thousand dollacs less than comparable models
from Honda aad Toyota.

standard: 1.6-litre four-evlinder engine or an opdonal 2.0-litre
four-evlinder motor.
