The guy who built this hybrid 1966 Mustang might be able to help, he has posted in this forum recently. I could not find good details on his drive layout, but there is good "source" material information on his site. See "Home" link below.

I drove/owned a 1990 Geo Tracker for 19-1/2 years before salt killed the electrical system.

1. Smell for gas, could be the fill spout or fittings/vents on top of the gas tank. If you smell gas just walk away, it is a pain in the arse to deal with and can get expensive.

2. The LSI has electronically switchable hubs, I had the manually locking front hubs. A fantastic 4WD system (move aside Jeeps), but with the short wheelbase the car/truck is downright dangerous in 2WD in a heavy rain or light snow.

3. It is fun to drive, not because it is fast, but because of all the driver feedback and peppy feel off the line.

4. Be wary of the exhaust system, I had to mess with mine every couple of years. At one time I invested over $1,000 for an all new factory Toyota/Suzuki system and still had issues just a few years later.

5. I loved my Geo Tracker, Zebra stripes are optional, got complements on it until the day it died.
