  Test Drive One and Youll Buy It - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
  By Jimmy L - October 22 - 2:00 am

  I was set to buy a sedan when I stopped by the Pontiac dealer on a whim, test drove an Aztec and I bought one that same day. Its the most exciting car Ive driven in years! It handles great, has nice power, is extremely comfortable and is laden with terrific features. Dont be put off by the styling - Im still getting used to that but the rest of the vehicle makes up for it.

  Better than you think - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By mike - October 15 - 11:23 am

  I bouth this car in 04. Used to sell them, and I was always a fan. Killer motor after you replace the head and intake gaskets(warranty) Front wheel bearings after 90k. Otherwise, its been a great car. 22-28 mpg with a K and N filter and has good power. Tons of room and a killer interior. Rear seats fold up or pull out, and even recline. The console cooler is the best! So is the stereo! Have 115k on it now and it runs perfect! Understeers in snow, but once you learn to drive it, it will go most anywhere with good tires. Buy this car used and it will not let you down.

  Why I decided to buy an Aztek - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By KvB - October 14 - 1:40 am

  I test drove every SUV (foreign and domestic) in the up to $30,000 price range and NOTHING compared to the Aztek for comfort and the quiet ride. The combination of its extremely odd looks and the fact that I have never owned a domestic-made car made me quite leary of purchasing the vehicle. I kept going back and re-test driving the foreign models, but as there was really no comparison for comfort and ride, I took the plunge and bought the Aztek. If something happened to my Aztek today, I would rush right out to buy another one. It is such a pleasure to drive!

  Versatile - 2004 Pontiac Aztek
  By Selig - October 13 - 12:03 am

  Unlike many SUVs, the trunk allows you carry taller objects. The seats come out to create a cargo van. It carries 4 adults comfortably. The versatility is really useful for the outside sales type. The spoiler is the rear-view can create some sight problems, but overall the rear view options are pretty good. I average 22 miles per gallon, which is a huge change from the Dodge Ram I used to drive. It has a nice balance of features: High seating for good road vision, reasonable pick up, good gas mileage for an SUV, and versatile (camping trip or diner for four). From experience, this vehicle does not hold its value.

  Very competent not so cute AWD - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By Brad - October 11 - 11:16 pm

  I purchased this car used with under 40K miles from a Ford dealer on e-bay. My trip home averaged 27 mpg. I often drive the car to Northern Vermont, a six hour trip feeling refreshed and confident that the AWD will perform in snow as expected. With side airbags, ABS, fog lights, truly comfortable heated seats and an average mpg consistently in the low to mid twenties and a price below $12,000, this car offers good value. It is easy to find in parking lots bcause of its size and rarity. If the car had a more appealing exterior, I would probably own TWO.

  Best Purchase Decision Since Last Car - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
  By FB - October 6 - 10:00 am

  I picked it up at almost 7K below MSRP (actually a healthy amount below invoice) and I dont think anyone can find a better deal on a "better car" anywhere. The MPG is acceptable considering the weight of the vehicle and the fact that it has AWD, so no complaints there. I put almost 300 miles on it the first day I had it, and if I wasnt so tired, Id have probably driven it more that day. Its more fun with every turn of the ignition key. I highly recommend that anyone in the market for a SUV/SRV take a test drive in an Aztek. You wont be disappointed.

  I love the look, hate the unreliability - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By sherry - October 4 - 3:43 am

  I absolutely love my Aztek. The look, the drive, the storage. Okay, the hatch sticks, and you need to use the fob as you lift up the back hatch or else it locks again. I have 56,000 miles, first it was the electrical wiring with the headlight, then wiring with the starter, now its the transmission. My mechanic shrugged and said its the same Grand Am transmission. $2,000 repair! I need reliable!I can do without cute! Im so disappointed!

  Excellent value - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
  By borych - September 8 - 4:16 pm

  Have had car for 7 years now and have been more than satisfied. Recently had a few significant repairs. Over all am quite happy with the purchase. Runs well. Good gas mileage 18-24 mpg for a 6 cyl AWD model. Excellent in deep snow! This car lives in New England outside and has served well. Only minor cosmetic drawback is that it does not come with gas cover. Many people over the years have asked what happened to it. I keep needing to explained that this is the way it was designed. If they still made them I would buy a new one.

  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.
