  Ugly but good personality - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By Podoghouse - May 15 - 10:00 am

  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!

  unbeatable price - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By clintonjohn - October 14 - 10:43 am

  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.

  I just bought this car in January 2008 and am having trouble already with the abs/awd disable light. nothing shows on my mechanics computer but looks like a lot of trouble with sensors or harnesses. which would be the cheapest to start with? i just got it and cant really afford to trade it already.

  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.

  I think the Aztec is Wonderful. It is my Second one and I will buy a third when the time comes.

  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.

  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.

  Great Little SUV - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By Steve - January 20 - 5:06 am

  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.
