  • I love Azteks, but... - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    I have had my Aztek for a year and put only 10k miles on it. Even though I have had to replace everything but the seatbelt buckles I still love it. It is very comfortable and handles well with Michigan weather. I dont like the fuel economy (gas is 3.89 here) but cant complain since for its size it does well. I only need a new fuel pump and Ill be back on the road with the silly looking thing. :D

  • Beautiful, but flawed - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Beautiful SUV, classy and elegant in black. Bought @ under 7,000 mi. Had to replace passenger wheel baring @ 40k mi. Replace driver wheel baring @ 50k mi. Now must replace again 4 months later. Need to replace brakes too often. Leaks coolant. Doors dont always unlock. Locking doesnt always "beep". Rear hatch doesnt release without helping hand. Settings 1 & 2 on AC/heat dont work. At a stop it will "jump" forward for no reason nearly bumping car in front of me. Rolls forward after putting in park. Hard to find parts outside of dealership. All common problems according to other sites. Im so sad b/c I love this car so much. I want to keep it forever, but may have to trade someday soon.

  • One great deal...... - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Bought my used 03 Aztec a month ago. Previous owner spent $24,500 new. I spent $9,700 with all the "bells and whistles"(power sunroof/moonroof, yeah!!) and only 49,000 miles on it! I cant believe how great it drives. Ive owned over eight vehicles in the past twenty four years, and this is the nicest ride Ive had. Test drove other mid SUVs, no comparison. Most drive like trucks, are to small in the cabin, seats stink and all look similar, boring. Aztecs have got to be the best deal in "autoworld" right now. People complain about the spoiler blocking their view,I love it, no more headlights in the eyes.I have no problem backing up. If youre thinking about an Aztec, go for it, its a blast

  • Ugly But Functional - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Surprisingly impressed! First American car in 30 years, and its really nice! No complaints, except for having great difficulty putting gas into it. Have had diagnosis by 3 certified mechanics, replaced fuel vapor canister, fuel evap solenoid and STILL have to put gas in at about 5 cents a spurt because the nozzle keeps kicking out. Its smooth, quiet, powerful and has a number of features I was going to invent one of these days. I recommend a buy, if youre more concerned about function than appearance.

  • love my aztek - 2003 Pontiac Aztek

    Overall, this has been an exceptional SUV. I bought it when it had 35,000 miles and now it has 146,900 + miles! I have had a few problems, but who doesnt on an older car? Of course, I didnt buy it for its looks! People laugh at me, but now they think Im pretty smart.

  • Take an Aztek , not a Zantac !!!!!!! - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    We rented one from AVIS,back in October 2002,to go from New Orleans to Houston (which was ~ 5 1/2 hours.).My husband,was a hater,until he saw how much we spent on gas.The incredible price we paid was a total of $14.50.WOW! Then,he turned from being a hater to lover of this suv.We went to this dealership "Brian Harris Autoworld in Slidell,La.".They let us test drive a 2003 Aztek,this weekend.It was an incredible ride,hit a bump you dont really notice, smoooooth turns,it was very spacious,great sound system,etc..... WARNING! Be careful not to fall asleep behind the wheel,its that COMFORTABLE!

  • Ugly? Maybe, but I love it - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Im not sure how Edmunds.com could say that this Mini-van has too much roll in its handling, or that its underpowered at the higher end. As a confirmed sedan driver, I have always prized a car with a firm, stable ride. I really didnt want a mini-van, but decided on this one because of its sure-footed, firm ride. The 17 inch tires, on the FWD only, help it corner very well. I had no problem driving on this winters snowy roads either. The 3.4 V-6 has plenty, and its geared to give a nice kick at higher speeds as well. Of course, in the final analysis, it is a mini-van, not a sports car.

  • buy this vehichle - 2003 Pontiac Aztek

    Anyone who thinks this car is ugly is right,but dont knock it until you try it. I was not sold on one until I drove it. IT drives like a sports car.It is soooo smooth! There is room for bunches O stuff!! There is tons of head room for big persons. The possibilites of destinations are endless! It looks and feels like somesort of a futuristic speceship. People do not like it because they cant catoegorize it. Phooey on them!!!!!

  • Wonderful Experience - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Probably the best car I have ever owned! You sit up high, killer sound system and best of all the Heads Up Display on the windshield (no tickets ever). 140,000 miles and have only had to replace some front and rear bulbs. I can take out the back seats and fit in full 4X8 sheets of plywood and close the hatch. I have a hitch and I pull my 2 carrier motorcycle trailer loaded with ease. Ive had people out in public tell me my car is ugly, but I always liked the futuristic styling, reminds me of a vehicle from the movie Bladerunners. Wish I could get a new one! Sorry the Pontiac brand is now gone!

  • GM Service lowest of the lowest - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    The enjoyment of this vehicle is overshadowed by having had it in service three times for hub replacement - $600 a wack. The first time was covered by warranty, but the other two times it wasnt. Even the ones that were replaced had to be replaced. 3 times to service for the same defect, once each year for the first three years I owned the vehicle. It would make sense to most consumers that GM would care- but they dont. They even had recalled hubs,and denied me the recall reimbursement. I wouldnt be surprised if I have to replace them again. I only drive the vehicle to work. My husband and I have had several GM products, but well never purchase another one. Itll be imports for us now.
