  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.

  The Edsel Of The New Millenium - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By mayormcmisery - June 11 - 10:00 am

  Upon receiving my Aztek as a company vehicle, I was somewhat skeptical of its practicality and driveability, not to mention its looks. But after a couple hundred miles behind the wheel, my trusty Aztek does shine over other SUVs. Having carrying a huge cargo load everyday, the Aztek still handles nimbly, rides well, and swallows its cargo with vigor. The seats are extremely comfortable. This vehicle is punished daily (250 hard miles), and like an old dog, keeps coming back faithfully and reliably. Ive actually come to really enjoy the Aztek and will heavily consider buying it once the lease is over. I foresee great realiability.

  Better than you think - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By mike - October 15 - 11:23 am

  I bouth this car in 04. Used to sell them, and I was always a fan. Killer motor after you replace the head and intake gaskets(warranty) Front wheel bearings after 90k. Otherwise, its been a great car. 22-28 mpg with a K and N filter and has good power. Tons of room and a killer interior. Rear seats fold up or pull out, and even recline. The console cooler is the best! So is the stereo! Have 115k on it now and it runs perfect! Understeers in snow, but once you learn to drive it, it will go most anywhere with good tires. Buy this car used and it will not let you down.

  It makes difference - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By Stanko Brankovic - July 29 - 2:00 am

  I have Aztek AWD already 8 months. So far its been a pleasure driving it and injoing it. My wife did not like it in the begining but now She is the Azteks biggest fan. First snow and drive through a messy Pittsburgh streets was a real test. Vehicle is well designed and built for a harsh winter conditions and so far we made several long trips to Savana (GA), N. Orleans (LA), Toronto (CA) not having any problems. Considering the pricee that we paid,(19600) (with 17 wheels) this car is realy best buy for its class. I strongly recmmend it for people that wnat to make a diference.

  Love our Aztek - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By wabartz - January 17 - 10:00 am

  Its easy to maneuver in parking lots, handles well and is surprisingly peppy. The rear audio controls and slide out storage bin are extremely useful. The stereo is great (get the 180W 10-speaker system). With the rear tie downs and tailgate/hatch setup I am constantly amazed at what I can haul with it (very versatile). This has been a great replacement for our minivan and has been servicing our family (2 adults and 3 kids) very well for the last year. This is the vehicle that brought me back to domestic vehicles after years of buying imports. It has been reliable and fun to drive, definitely a keeper.

  Versatile Aztek - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By mtbdawg - October 10 - 10:00 am

  Currently have 39,000 miles w no problems. A bit under powered, however, pulled a ski boats 300 miles w no probs. This is a comfortable vehicle for long trips. I carry my road bike and mountain bike inside the car all the time w ample room for other gear. Have used the camping package and love it. Once you drive it, you will be hooked. added a bike roof carrier bike rack w wind ferring to really enhance the look. You can haul anything in this car.

  Pontaic 2002 Aztek - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By Bingo sun - September 3 - 2:00 am

  I love it. It has some "fun" styling which tends to scare most people from it. But after they got rid of the plastic cladding, this thing is a dream. I would recommend a 2002 Aztek to anyone who want a 4x4 to off-road.

  a few problems but Id buy it again - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By nah1978 - December 12 - 9:23 am

  I bought my 2002 AWD used with 25k and it is now up to almost 60k. Just a warning, be prepared to replace both the front wheel bearings at some point. I have done some research on the internet and this seems to be about the most common major problem with the vehicle. I was just out of warranty and it cost me about 400 bucks to do both. Even so I love this vehicle. You can get a good deal on them since some people dont like the looks. I just tinted all the windows and put a grill guard on and it looks awesome. It handles great, good MPG for an SUV (lower to mid 20s), plenty of room, good for hauling people or just flip the seats up and you can haul a ton of cargo.

  total dismay - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By badoogi - June 16 - 10:00 am

  In 3 days after the purchase, it breaks down. The car would not start. The dealership did not respond quick enough. the 24hour assistance was just horrible. I was stranded on busy two - lane street (Ave of stars in Century city, L.A.). at 1 p.m. The service technician sent from the dealer arrived at the scene at 7:00 p.m. The guy did not even know where Century city was. To make it worse, he could not fix the problem. Then, I called the 24 hour road side assistance at 8;00 P.M. The towing truck driver arrived at 10:10 P.M. It has been the worst day of life and this is all because of one stupid, crappy car.
