  • Go ugly early! - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    The Aztek was recently chosen as one of the ugliest cars ever built. I concur. It is also the most utilitarian car that was ever built. Parents always teach that its whats inside that counts. I have head room galore, unprecedented comfort, and radio controls at my finger tips. Add a heads-up display (nice for me, a pilot), a zip-in tent, sound system controls at the tailgate, an ice cooler for a console, myriad other creature features, and you have the best little house on wheels! I pity the man that looks only on the external challenges of this fine automobile and misses its inner beauty. My other cars are a Jaguar VDP, a 300ZX and a Lexus... guess which I like the most?

  • Great SUV Good Mileage Bad Reliability - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    I have owned it for 2 years all out of warranty. I only have 80k miles on it. Getting sick of repairing it. Previous owner had rear carrier, more wheel bearings, intake gasket, anti lock brake harnesses, and the dreaded ac condenser all replaced under warranty at least.

  • It Grows on you! - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    I was a little iffy on the looks of this thing but once you drive it, look at all the great features and really get to know it you grow to love it. This is perfect for our family of 5 the kids all feel in love with it, ages 17- 11. I really think it is 3 vehicles in one, a SUV, minivan, and a pickup truck. SO VERSATILE! It will grow on you.

  • Ugly but REALLY practical - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    Best bang for the buck in mid-size U.S. SUVs. Roomier than an S-10 Blazer, safer than the current blazer, and gets 21 mpg FOR HALF THE PRICE OF MANY MID-SIZED SUVs. FIRST SUV to get 4 star rollover rating and how many 2001 SUVs had standard side airbags? Sure its ugly, but how many $50k luxury SUVs have a heads-up display on the windshied off of an F-15 fighter, a built-in air pump, and their own tent?!

  • Aztek is Terrific - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    All we can say about our one year old Aztek is - FANTASTIK! Cant understand why more people arent driving them - perhaps if the dealers made an effort to sell them (ours was in the back of the lot)--- very comfortable, great goodies, quiet ride, powerful...we love it!

  • Wallys Tec - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    I liked the style and reviews on the net art the time. I had a few problems, one major. Modules have had to be replaced, Trunk opener had to be adjusted, some gauges recalibrated, all under warranty. The major prob was the trans. At 43,000 it fell apart. After some struggle GM paid for 1/2. I still enjoy the tek though.

  • Traveling Tek - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    The Tek is a great vehicle for our lifestyle, we love to camp, bike and canoe and have been on several trips with it. We get about 24 mpg on the highway unless were pulling bikes/canoe then we get about 20mpg. The functionality and gas mileage sold us on the Tek. The exterior caused us to dub ours "Aztank" because of the boxy lines, however, it has really grown on me. Bottom line, you get a large, practical and efficient vehicle for a great value, Azteks make a statement and are extremely practical but if you have to have a vehicle that EVERYbody envies you wont want an Aztek.

  • Luv My Aztec - 2001 Pontiac Aztek

    I have really enjoyed it. I mountain bike and it easily takes me and three of my fellow bikers wherever we want to go. I recommend you try it!!!

  • Switching To Ford or Foreign! - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
    By -

    When the Aztek was introduced, it was love at first sight! I just HAD to have one! Six pricey years later, I cant wait to get rid of it. I gave it a 5 for reliability because its never broken down and left me stranded, but only a 5 because its been one thing after another with this vehicle. Three A/C condensers,odometer went out so had to replace ENTIRE display, heat/AC control went out, dual temp control went out, head gasket, gas gauge doesnt work, driver side window, black trim paint started fading and peeling away when 4 years old, roof rack clamps rattle in wind, taillights and center brake light weathered & cracked @ 4 years. 5th GM car AND my last! Ford or foreign next time!
