  CLASSY FUN CAR, BIG INSIDE AND SMALL OUTSIDE - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By JOHN TINGLE - April 8 - 11:20 am

  All black with taupe interior stands out a the best looking combination for this vehicle. Good high seats and large glass area is a winner. Extra large and handy hatch area is another plus to consider. Being05 vehicle still has refined feeling with smooth six power. Typical gm negatives such a having to change the secondary shaft 2xs as well as the rack and pinion steering noise, all under warranty thank goodness. Dash electrical issues at 80k including losing trans lights and odometer lights. Styling looks better with age as newer vehicles are looking weird and have little window area thus providing safety issues as well as visual threats. This is my 2nd aztek which my family has grown to appreciate even more over time. Have offers for $5500 plus whih would make this vehicle a good value over the long run. John T.

  Under-Rated - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By Keith - January 13 - 12:16 am

  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.

  My Fishing Family Loves My Truck - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By carol L Evans - December 22 - 4:16 am

  My husband and 2 boys are avid fisherman. who love to take my truck on their overnight trips, because the boys get to leave the docks and go back to the truck and lie down when the get sleepy.. we now also go to the drive inn instead of to the local movie theater, this allows kids to be able to move around while we are looking at movies, they take toys and food and moveies are now fun for them......

  Nice ride if you like the looks. - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By Jmamadei - September 4 - 8:43 am

  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.

  ugly but awesome - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By potsie - July 18 - 11:23 am

  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 cant wait to get his hands on it !!!

  A POSITIVE REVIEW - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By cordle - March 21 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Interesting thing, this Aztek - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By Bri - February 28 - 11:33 am

  A surprisingly practical car. Good cargo capability (but not minivan good), good gas mileage (much like a minivans), respectable performance (a lot like a minivan). But, my wife and I werent 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.

  good value - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By clint - February 24 - 1:20 pm

  We hadnt 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 Im 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. Its not a Vette, so I dont buy the complaints about power-its power and acceleration are just fine.

  owner - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By kathey sisemore - February 4 - 9:40 am

  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.
