  • VERY HAPPY, IVE HAD 2 - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    I actually have a 2001 FWD. The initial start has excellent power and speed, merging and passing is done with ease. Very smooth and comfortable on the highway and spunky throuhg the city.I test drove alot of other manufacturers and unless you double the price and still end up with lower gas mileage and less amenities then you start to get close to what the Atztec offers. And the plastic sides some of you dont like works well for accident protection. A station wagon side swiped the front end and left NO sratches or dent. I dont think paint could have handled it!

  • Doors that bend. - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Major design flaws with front doors--as seen in numerous investigative reports. Door that open too hard will not close again. No fixes from Pontiac offered. Completely happy with it if my passenger door would shut. Apparently the hinges mount to sheetmetal rather than body frame. Find one on a lot more than a couple of months old, and it will have a eskewed door. Do I hear class-action lawsuit?

  • Not worth your money - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    I first bought my AWD Sports Aztek because of 2 friends owning one. I took a ride in it and fell in love. 2 days later, I went and bought one. As ugly as it is, my Aztek is super sporty with a lot of features most dont have. However, I have had nothing but problems with it (My 2 friends sold theirs a year later and later found out it was documented a "lemon"). I have 72,000 miles on it right now. I have replaced both front rotors twice, brakes twice, windshield always leaks,gas mileage is horrible.I fill up every 4 to 5 days (I only drive about 30 miles every day). Rear latch always sticks, tires wear out easily, now the car is shaking and a bad grinding noise which is affecting driving

  • we love it - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    We love this car. My son is a 13 year old and we both think the car is geat. It had lots of interior room, wonderful when both of you are almost 6 feet tall.The back seat is even comfortable for my son. He has lots of leg room in the back seat. The CD player and cooler are inovative additions to a vehicle.

  • Absolutely love this vehicle! - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    This is one of the best purchases Ive ever made. The interior is exceptionally laid out and convenient. The ride is comfortable (my friends say its like riding in a floating barcalounger!). Although Ive had comments that its ugly, I think its fantastic and unusual (to each his own). I feel I got a great value for my money, and this is so much better than the SUV I traded in. I highly recommend it.

  • Garbage In Garbage Out - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Words of Wisdom - once the Aztek is over 3 years old or 50,000 miles it will deteriorate into a money pit. We absolutely loved ours until about eight months ago. Front passenger wheel bearing went, then the intake manifold leaked (yes, I know about the DexCool settlement) and then we had a cracked head gasket. Over $3k into the car in the past six months and its only 5 1/2 years old and with only 60,000 miles on it. Here I come Honda! Never a GM car again for me.

  • LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    I love my aztek for its practicality and verstility. There s tons of room for my kids, dog and gear. Unfortunatley its got reliability issues. All the wheel bearing have been replaced, computers have failed. Versatrak rear differential was replaced for $6000. Head gasket leaked. Whats next? I m torn because I like the car so much but I m scared of whats going to break next. My next car is definately not going to be a GM.

  • Love my Aztek - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Didnt like this car at first glance, but glad i gave the inside a look. The drive is smooth and the interior is beyond spacious. The back seat can comfortably hold 2 car seats and a large adult - and there is plenty of room for EVERYTHING that you need to bring.

  • My Aztek - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    So far the vehicle has proven to be both reliable and safe to drive, I live in Calgary Canada aaand my Aztek has proved its self more than capable of handling all of the snow we receive here during day to day driving. Also during this period the heating system has been more than adequate even in - 30c temperatures, I am looking forward to driving it long distance during the summer!
