Our Aztec died in a crash recently and it will be missed. The minivan based design allowed it to be a great snow ski hauler since ski's fit under the seat. Although the spoiler did restrict rear vision - it also appeared to always block the headlights of the car behind us when they were tailgating. It got us everywhere we needed to go. The front seats of all cars are comfortable but the often forgotten rear seat [I guess most parents think it is the kids problem not theirs] was very comfortable for the Aztec. If the look can be ignored, the function is great. Note: some Aztec's inherited all the problems. Find a good one and keep it for life.

I thought this was the ugliest automobile on the road, and then I drove one! My first was a 2001 with a campers package (loved it!), then I traded it for a 2005 knowing the car was nlm. I will have it paid off soon and hope it lasts forever! I haul greyhound dogs in it and it is perfect with the back seats removed. I love this car!

I've had my Aztek for about 5 years now and it's perfect for us. It washes up to look great for executive meetings and transforms to a great family rig for weekends on the coast. I have a two package and pull a trailer with gear for longer trips. Plenty of room. It runs great. 80k miles and still strong. My only thing is the sunroof is flawed. Had it repaired 5 times and it still doesn't work. I'm looking for a second one now.

I can sum up my review briefly...245,000 miles...body very good..0 rust.....original engine, transmission. Reolaced alternator and water pump but these didn't occur until 201,000 miles. This vehicle is hands down the most dependable, fun vehicle I have ever owned. I would buy another without hesitation.

I bought this car a couple of months ago on a whim and I absolutely LOVE it! Anyone who wants to laugh at it or make fun of me for buying it can do it but they don't know what kind of FUN they are missing! The vehicle is very responsive on curves and in the snow it goes thru any depth. We love all the room in the back because you can carry anything. It's just a FUN car to drive. We already feel like this vehicle is a part of the family!

I love the design because it's so unique and there aren't very many in my city. I use to drive a small compact car prior to buying the Aztek, so I wanted something larger but not to large. The Aztek was the perfect size and had the amount of room I was looking for. It's so easy to get in and out of it and can stuff so many things in it. Last year, I had to take my Aztek back to dealership because my gauges were not reading correctly. I would fuel up and the gauge indicated that I was on empty. My speedometer would indicate I was driving at 120 miles per hour when I was actually driving at 30mph. Luckily I had the gold insurance plan and got everything fixed for $50 (deductible).

My Aztec is the worst automobile I've ever owned in my life. 1st Pontiac Grand Am, purchased new, within one years paint bwgan to peel off, Dealer refused to repaint it, said it was because of the High Mileage I put on it. Bought a New Pontiac Grand Prix a few years later. Ran OK but interior buttons began to crack and break, at 63000 mikes it's timing belt broke and realy damaged the engine my mechanic told me. Then the Pontaic AZTEC 2002 used, with 28000 miles on it. had nothing but trouble with it electricly, have spent well over $1500 getting elctricsl problems fixed plus lousy gas mileage, Hard suspension. Pontiac Factory refuses to stand behind the car. Good Bye Pontiac fo

Nice ride if you like the looks.

I never even considered an Aztek when I was shopping for a car but there it was with low miles and a good price so I was sold and I really love it. Everything about it is convenient and easy to use also, it sits high enough to give a good view of the road without being difficult to climb into. Gas mileage is acceptable (19-20mpg) and reliability has been good during my first 500 miles. However, if you change your own oil its really hard to get the filter out because of the front frame crossmember so plan on wearing half of your oil the first time you change it.

First car I picked out myself and the best of both worlds. Easy to get in and out of and fun to drive. Aways asked by people how I like it and I am forever showing off the inside. The space is awsome. This is our second one and was sadend to hear that I won't be able to get my huband a new one for himself next year. We have a New Yorker that my husband drives but it doesn't get any miles on it if we are going together. We always jump in the AZTEK. Would really like to see a few more years of this car around. This year along in our small town we have gone from our Aztek driving the streets of 3500 people to seeing 8. Love my Aztek Sue.

I love this vehicle. I use to have a ford explorer and now I know what a real car is like. The ONLY problem I see with this car is the spoiler on the back. Extreme blind spot. However you do get use to it. I have recently had problem with rattling while applying my brakes especially down hill. Took it in and fixed for free. I have not tried out the camping package yet however hopefully next year. I think Pontiac should change their commercial. I would of never of thought to buy this car. The commercial makes it look so small and only concentrate of the cooler between the front seat. Show this car off it is hugh on the inside. I put 2 twin boxsprings & 2 mattresses in the back end

The Aztek small community makes it difficult to learn and share with other drivers. My odometer came out reading "error"... if a small light on the dash breaks, you must send in the entire unit loosing your car for 3 + days to change a tiny lightbulb... the battery change requires a 2 hour job by a professional mechanic whereas in previous cars i could easily do so myself... the mirror fell off in 100 degree heat... the resale value is down to 6000 at carmax after just 3 years.. i would love to hear from other buyers so i can prepare myself for other aspects which i might put some prevention into to avoid repeating your finds, i would be happy to share my experience.

Fast Car that hugs curves. No need to work about flipping this one over like many other inport mini-SUV's, Great Gas mileage for the power in this cars engine. Expect to be peeling out frequently if you have a lead foot. Passing up cars is a breeze. This car is very responsive. the only complaint is the design. My friend calls it the tin can, but a better look would have taken away the huge cargo area.

I researched this car before buying it, I'm happy that I made the decision to do so, It's easy to handle, the ride is smooth and the look of it fits my personality. People feel they need to talk to me and tell me how cute my car is! I hope others who have it feel the same as I do. Unfortunately, It takes $40 to fill the tank but I'm not worried. I will still drive my Azzy around town.

To most people this vechicle is ugly. In our area this car is driven predomanitly by 30 somethings. All I can say is BOY are they missing out! We have a 2 wheel drive version and it does great in the snow, mountians and everywhere. The handling is very responsive . It corners fantastic and I absolutly love curves.There is no rollover effect.

In 18,000 miles no problems. Dealer service has been excellent. Have had many POSITIVE comments about the style. Style is not as awkward as it used to be in comparison to the half painted Honda Element or Scion wagons. Cargo area has a pull out table, great for picnics. AWD works very well. Fun car to drive and be seen in.

Just purchased this vehicle. We LOVE it. We were told that many people thought it was ugly - and we've actually had the opposite experience. I was stopped at a light the other day and a group of kids in their 20's said "Awesome Wheels!". I like the look of it and I like that it doesn't look like everyone else's car! People also said it is difficult to see out the back - it took me no time at all to get used to it. I have no complaints whatsoever. I completely recommend it and since they aren't making them anymore - you can get a pretty good deal on them right now.

Interesting thing, this Aztek

Performance: 4 Comfort: 4 Fuel Economy: 4 Fun To Drive: 2 Interior Design: 4 Exterior Design: 3 Build Quality: 4 Reliability: 3 Comfort Rating: 4 Performance Rating: 4 Interior Rating: 4 Reliability Rating: 3

A surprisingly practical car. Good cargo capability (but not minivan good), good gas mileage (much like a minivan's), respectable performance (a lot like a minivan). But, my wife and I weren't ready for the minivan niche. Certainly a love/hate appearance, but we have the "Rally" edition, which I think gives a more pleasing flavor to the underlying Aztek weirdness. A recent (May 2005) recall on the ignition system is a must-fix; we just started experiencing the effects (kind of ironic, in a way), which include vehicle stalling. In-laws have a Chevy Equinox, which I like better. However, the Aztek might have the price advantage given its impending discontinuation and overall poor sales.

Don't purchase

Car burns 1quart oil every 1000 miles, they say exceptable. Moaning from rear end, they hear but they dont know what is causing the problem. A/c quit and there is a tt bullentin on it . Car shifts horrible, and sometimes doesn't. Rear spoiler blocks vision. Trade in value is the worst! Today 6/8 ny newsday reports 10worst reliable car in the us! Dealer has been unsupportive to fix the vehicle.This is the 5th pontiac i have owned always showing loyalty to pontiac gm, note not anymore!! I will seek a better tradein and a better warranty!

Last fall I had to purchase a new vehicle. The 2004 Aztek was one of my purchasing options. I have never been happier with a vehicle. I believe it is one of Pontiacs best kept secrets that the general public has a tendency to overlook simply because it doesn't fit their ideal mold of a reasonable looking vehicle. When driven conservatively, the Aztek may get 24 mpg. In 170 miles, used 6gls of gas (holds approx 18gls). Driving reasonably under winter driving conditions, this vehicle drives like a tank - my biggest surprise yet! I feel safe transporting my child in this vehicle, and am happy to take other passengers along. This a reasonable SUV for reasonable budgets!

Vehicle has been nothing but trouble since purchased. Has experience several problems each month since I purchased it. Problems such as stalling, loss of power, gear shift not going into gear at all, cruise control not working, paint chipping, car running hot, burining smell and smell of gas, gas tank rattling. I have been out of the vehicle for a total of 70 days. I would advise any consumer to check with the department of transportation before purchasingthis vehicle. This vehicle has shut down on major highway more than once and could have cuased my family and I to be killed.

We bought our first Aztek in 2001 and found it to be a joy to own - no maintenance. no problems! When my husband read they were discontining them this year (05) we drove from Georgia to Ohio to get the model we wanted...they are so comfortable, have so many included features that cost more on other makes, are such fun to drive...we love our Aztek! Who cares if Jay Leno makes fun of them!

This has been a great car. I haul lots of scuba gear and it has no problem holding it all. I can also take 3 adults with me with plenty of room and comfort. It really moves on the road too. Very snappy response to get around slow movers fast and safely. Handles like a dream on corners and on the open road. I love it. Plus, it's ugly and nobody will steal it.

Despite the negative reviews I have read, I find this vehicle to be a great handling SUV. It is quiet, has great features, gives decent mileage, and is fairly comfortable. The only problem I have encountered to date is the rear hatch release, sometimes requiring 2 or three clicks to open.

We've previously always had a van because of the convenience in traveling so was reluctant to get the Aztek. Shortly after purchasing, we took an approximate 3500 mile trip. It was great. We especially liked the convenience of back access. We also have luxury feataures of DVD, heated seats, built in ice chest, etc. and especially felt much safer with the Onstar. In fact, used it to get directions and when couldn't find the keys they opened it for us from wherever. So far, we are very pleased with our Aztek.

Cons are rear view visability which you learn to compensate for. However, the small turning radius, power and agility as well as good gas milage make this a really fun car to drive. Overall visibility is very good, and the car's overall performance is very good. Everyone who drives it, loves it!

never intended to buy. dealer gave me the deal of a lifetime 15106.00 out the door, taxes license the works! I test drove the Aztek but really was looking at the Buick Rendevous. The ride in the Aztek was just as good as the Buick and $6500 cheaper. I love driving the Aztek and the pickup is great and the versatility is just what I needed. My son is 16 and can't wait to get his hands on it !!!

We hadn't even considered the Aztek when shopping for a new car. Figured that an economy car was the only thing in our budget. Went looking at the Pontiac Vibe and saw the Aztek in the showroom. With the GM redtag clearance and other discounts, we got our 2005 FWD Aztek out the door for under $15000. Excellent value, a lot of features, outstanding interior room. The only unknown is how it will hold up over the years. Right now I'm quite happy with it. The exterior appearance takes a bit getting used to. If you can get over the outward appearance, the Aztek is quite a good deal. It's not a Vette, so I don't buy the complaints about power-it's power and acceleration are just fine.

I love the handling and the versatility and the over all performance of the Aztek. The only thing is I have had a lot of problems with the car locking in park due to the(bitsy) part of the braking system and the block ( brain with the fuses) being loose and then melting. My family and myself was stranded in Mississippi for a day and a half because of the block. Now the wires have melted, unknown reason. I would keep the car except I have driven a rental more than I have driven mine. So I am trading my Aztek for another Aztek. Just to see if i got a lemon the first time. My whole family loves the Aztek. Correct the problems of the Aztek and I will buy more of them in the future.

My 2003 Pontiac Aztek is a great vehicle -- one of the best SUVs on the market. The simpletons in the automotive press could not get past the admittedly awkward-looking exterior. Get inside and experience the functional interior, great for hauling people, equipment, groceries, anything. Drive it to experience exceptional ride and handling. Quality is outstanding. I have had zero reliability or maintenance problems; only regular oil changes. And with the cash incentive I received, I think it is one of the best hidden values on the market.

With the GM redtag clearance and other rebates, we got our 2005 Aztek out the door for under $15000-new. Had looked at the Vibe and Suzuki Aerio, but the Aztek came out cheaper, with the same features and lots more room. Very comfortable ride and acceleration is sufficient. May not be comparable quality to foreign competition, but the price was absolutely unbeatable.

Haven't had this much fun driving a vehical,since my 60's+70's VW "bug"days.I hope Pontiac keeps this SUV around as I wouldn't trade it for the most expensive SUV on the market.I camp out with this Aztec often. It's great outdoor fun. My canoe fits nicely on the roof rack. In the city I make U- turns I wouldn't even try with a much smaller car. I'll buy a new one each year.

I bought my tek because i was tired of my Hyundai and was on a limited budget. I did my homework on the vehicle: GM was offering 4,000 rebates, plus one for 1,000 that the dealer didn't tell me about. Total vehicle price out the door 18,000. For the space, handling, comfort and compliments that this vehicle gets, you would think that I paid over 30,000. Aztek is Pontiac's best kept secret. I love this car so much that i will trade my other Hyundai and get one for my wife before all of the 05's are gone.The equinox (aztek replacement) cannot hold a candle to this vehicle in style, features, or PRICE. My mom has an 03 trailblazer (she paid 32,000 for it) that isn't as roomy, versatile or good on gas as my tek.

Yes we bought an Aztek. We went with the rally package. It makes a big difference in appearance. It still has a huge back end but overall I think its a really great vehicle. They even thought of a shoulder belt that can drop down for someone riding in the middle of the back seat. It turns really well for a SUV. The only draw back I have seen so far is that there is not a lot of places to mount extra's. Even though it is a SUV it has a great step in height for children.

Love it! so why don't others

I just Love my Aztek and the dealer tells me Aztek owners all feel strongly about them. I like the "Tiger ready to pounce" exterior look and so does my fiance. She bought a Red Vibe and now that I have this vehicle she keeps trying to drive it and leave me withthe smaller car. We can fold the seats all the way up and stow 2 bicycles in the back to go riding on the Cedar Valley Nature trail, and then fold them down and take anotrher couple out to eat that nite. It handles well and has enough get-up to meet my needs and the gas milkage is acceptable. I fail to understand why reviewers say it is awkward to handle as most owners like the interior comfort and handling.

I wish they had kept the body cladding of the earlier models, but this is one cool looking car. It is fun to drive, safe, and comfortable. Interior quality is much improved over 2001, which haf poor fabric. I'm surprised some find it ugly or weird looking, but that makes it a great used car buy.

I purchased this automobile because it was the only one offered in the price range that I could afford. After owning and driving this auto for the past year, I am so glad that it was the one I bought. I have driven it on the highway and in town and could not be more comfortable now feel more safe than in the Aztec. It is not the most beautiful design but everyone knows where I am in this town! I needed an auto that was easy to get in and out of and this has been ideal. I hope that more people will look for quality and not beauty and try this auto.

I just bought this new aztec on the 14th of sept..I have 4 kids and we have driven this on 2 trips and love the way it drives..I owned a 2002 explorer that i traded for this and the aztec is more comfortable,rides better and is alot more fun to drive..The only draw back is the placement of the rear spoiler..

ugly but beautiful

unique vehicle. Had no intention on buying it. Test drive sold me. Check out the price because there is a low market for these vehicles and you can almost name your price.

Great car

When my wife bought our first aztek in 2001 I thought she was nuts. I told her this car is UGLY. Three years latter I bought a another for myself this time AWD.Great car, great price great service what more can you ask for.I was unimpressed with the interiors of foreign cars I looked at.

We always called Azteks "the ugly truck" but once we drove one we were sold. The outside may be ugly but the inside is great!

THE AZTEK I OWN HAS BEEN & CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF THE FINEST AND HANDIEST VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED IN MY 40+ YEARS OF DRIVING. IT HAS NEVER FAILED ME IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER EXTREMES. THE GADGETS AND DRIVER INFO CENTER ARE EXCELLANT

this vechiles resale is the worst I have ever seen , It has had more problems than any other car I have ever owned, and then you can't get rid of the thing because it has drop so much in resale value.I would not recommend the AZTEK to anyone.
