  Beautys Only Skin Deep - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By Krazy Kat - March 20 - 10:00 am

  Dont judge a book by its cover. I thought it was one of the ugliest vehicle Id ever seen, when I first saw it, but now more than 2 years later I bought one. I took a look at the sticker, and on a dare, I test drove the Aztek. I loved the way it drove, and all the features it included. I couldnt pass up one of the best bargains on the market. Im still not crazy about the style, (everyone else in my family loves it), but it is growing on me, and I really like the way it handles/drives. One problem --- everyone in my family wants to borrow it.

  My Aztec - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By Hofmanms - March 3 - 12:33 am

  I bought this used from a private seller. Within about 4 months the BCM quit while driving to a wedding 300 miles away. Luckily this only affected electronics and I was able to continue with little more than inconvenience. Had the BCM replaced by the dealer for about 500. I dont think the A/C ever worked but I hear its a 1000 dollar fix so I wont. Despite these problems I love the car. It can handle snow better than any car I have seen and I live in upstate NY so I see real snow. I get a lot of compliments and you cant beat the tent option with the cooler. Very Happy with the Aztec

  I LOVE AZTEK - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By perryjd - February 7 - 10:56 am

  I love it! If you are one that likes its look, or grow to, youll really enjoy Aztek. It rides really well and if you dig interior features.... youll be in heaven! With the 1sb option package you get great features with little to no extra cost. It is a stand alone and not a clone.

  Bad experience - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By not happy - December 23 - 7:26 am

  Bought used with about 60k miles, at 63k all the problems began with the check engine light. GM said it was the ECM, electronic control module. It resembles a long cable (wrapped in black plastic) that is underneath the car and plugs into a socket like thing on the undercarriage. Very exposed to the road elements! GM wanted $1100 for the part & another $900 to install. I paid, and the engine light still stayed on. GM tried to say it was not the ECM after I paid $2,000! I took it back to the Dealer prior to any of this, that was a hoot. That is another story. I could not get the car inspected, so traded it recently, took a beating and learned a lesson, run away from Pontiac Cars!

  I will never buy a GM again - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By eebrando - November 22 - 8:33 pm

  Well, I thought I had made a pretty good deal at the time of purchase but when you add up all I have spent in repairs (transmission, a/c (had only 48k miles at the time), traction system) I am driving a $30k PONTIAC. I hate cars.

  FunDrive - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By MikePoo - October 6 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has a fantastic ride and it just feels good to sit in and drive. A glance over your right sholder while driving gives one a great view all around. The engine/horsepower feels more than adaquit for this vehicle as well.

  Great......with qualifications - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By Imacarguy - September 1 - 10:00 am

  Seating comfort is great, especially for someone with lumbar problems. Overall flexibility of this vehicle is phenomenol. Its a real shame that GM didnt do a rear-end styling change (smooth it out, improve visibility and overall attractiveness) early-on. I decided on buying a "nearly-new" 02 instead of a 03 due to price/option considerations. Guess Ill be considering a Rendevous in the future ?!!

  Love This Truck - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By JT - July 4 - 12:16 am

  I cannot say enough good things about this vehicle. My wife normally doesnt care about a vehicle as long as it runs. She saw a used one at the dealership and loved it and she wouldnt look at anything else afterwards. Hard time finding them but we love it and wouldnt give it up. Gets better gas mileage then my 2003 Ford Taurus SES and both have a 6 cyclinder. Roomy and lots of comfort. Love the split seats and how easy the old up and / or come out completely. A lot easier then removing a bench seat from the mini van. Just cant say enough about this vehicle. Thought about getting a second one for me but dont want two of the same vehicle. Too bad Pontiac discountinued it.

  Tremendous Budget Buy - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By Briandear - February 23 - 10:00 am

  I licked my chops over the 2003 Vibe, but then I was showed this 2001 clearance model. Once inside, the versatility and features won me over. Great for hauling my musical gear, and everyone asks me about it. Smooth quiet ride, really sits and drives more luxuriously than its outdoorsy interior. I couldnt find anything else in an SUV or wagon with leather seats, much less heated, for 23,000. Enough said. Also, Consumer Guide gives the FWD version the higher score, for better acceleration and ride.
