  DDB - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By Donovan - April 22 - 10:00 am

  I chose all tens because I am selling one of these vehicles. but realistically, I would only have issues with a couple things. These are the gas mileage and the blind spots. Power is great for a six banger. The car is useful and the audio system is great.

  smooth as silk but poor quality control - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By jqua - March 12 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle has a love it/hate it design. Typical of GM there were 1st yr problems. An ABS Sensor died twice in 18 months. the rear hatch doesnt open using one push of the switch. Several computers failed. A/C compressor failed. All during warranty period but down time was a pain. Wonderful car to drive, handles well, very smooth on the road.

  People ask to look inside - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By almoh - March 5 - 10:00 am

  It is the first vehicle we have had where people have asked about it and asked to look inside. We have been approached in parking lots, even classic car gatherings.

  Love it! - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By AKMelnick - March 4 - 8:23 am

  I find the Aztek fun to drive, love all the cool features such as music controls on steering wheel. I have a black one and its styling exterior design may have been some what odd or even ugly when first came out however, there are many suvs that tend to look similiar now such as the Lexus SUV. I love the look!

  Pontiac Aztek - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By Jackee - February 26 - 2:00 am

  The 2001 exterior design was an improvement over the 2000 model. It is sporty and fun. The mileage surpassed all expectations. I was getting over 27 miles to the gallon while on vacation. The slide-out cargo tray is wonderful when loading and unloading packages, no aching backs. The back is spacious and will handle lots of packages. I had done a lot of research regarding this vehicle and it is living up to everything I had read, and in some respects it is even better.

  Whats not to like? - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By Luvinhomebrew - February 16 - 7:16 am

  I have a 55" eleven year old and a 50" nine year old. Big people run in my family. My boys not only fit into the Aztec, they LOVE it, and theyll be able to fit in it when theyre in high school! I took out a Le Sabre before I took out the Aztec, and found the ride was the same. I thought the ride would be typical SUV. I wouldnt buy no sissy ride!

  Disappointment - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By Steve - February 10 - 1:46 pm

  I cannot say enough about how unsatisfied I am with this car. It is a complete lemon. Air conditioner quit at 40,000. New tranny at 57,000, and new engine parts at 61,000. I still owe more than its worth and am looking to sell it for much less. I am very disappointed in this vehicle only because I love the space and its fun to drive. But now i own a $20,000.. $7,000 car, after paying 10,500 for it and putting almost the same back into it to fix it. Wish i had never purchased a Pontiac

  Lost 60% of its value in two years OUCH - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By tniepoth - February 10 - 10:00 am

  It lost 60% of its value in the first two years. After only 30,000 miles, the A/C has gone out, the rear hatch hinge is defective, and the transmission whines terribly when its warmed up and goes uphill. Trying to get out from under this one. The only thing I like is the fact that the back seats come out giving a low, flat floor so that I can load my 3 big dogs with room to spare.

  Buyer beware - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By Raymon - January 20 - 6:30 pm

  Replaced the air conditioning unit 6 times the first 4 years. Major electrical problems. No way to open rear hatchbach if latch fails. Except by destroying the gate interior panel. No warrantee package covers interior repair. Not a good experience.

  getting rid - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By bummed2008 - January 1 - 11:56 am

  Well, I wanted to like this thing, because of its character. the interior has good design and fun to drive with decent power. and actually looks good. we loved taking this car to outside events and the kids could sit on the tailgate. here comes the sad part.. at only 40,000 miles we started having major electrical issues that were expensive and battery replacement was $600. now the head gasket or something is having trouble and tranny is slipping up hills.. this car is not a keeper. PS also had electrical issues on a 1999 Grand-Am when it was brand new. wont be buying a Pontiac any more and its a shame because I love how they feel and drive
