  fun and functional - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By wayne stanton - July 11 - 1:10 pm

  We have owned our Pontiac Aztek for a month now. After looking at several different models we chose this one due to price and initial impressions, with both room and comfort in mind. This car has proven to be a great choice, it is so quiet inside the cabin, and both very roomy and comfortable. I find its exterior looks to be very appealing, and the ride is both smooth and responsive. I think we have made an excellent choice. I am sorry they wont be making this car anymore after this year though, I do recommend it very strongly.

  I love Azteks, but... - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
  By lovetheteks! - June 30 - 4:16 am

  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

  Love This Thang - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By darkback - June 28 - 10:00 am

  I dont know why everyone keeps bagging on this truck. It does everything I need, and more. It also goes everywhere I need to go. I camp, surf, mountain bike, snowboard, rollerblade, and work as a science teacher. I need to haul a lot of crap around to a lot of places. This truck gets me there with room and gas money to spare.

  Get over it! - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By Tusktek - June 5 - 10:00 am

  I test drove a lot of vehicles. I was going to buy either an SUV or a Grand Prix GTP. Due to comfort reasons, chose GTP. Went into dealership for GTP came out with 2001 Aztek GT.

  Beautiful, but flawed - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
  By Angela - June 4 - 9:10 am

  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.

  The Best UGLY car you could ask for. - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
  By magicbus20 - May 30 - 3:28 pm

  167,000 miles is much more than I wanted when getting my first vehicle. This thing was ok and gave me a great experience. It lasted a littler over 200,000 before I gave up on her. (I cant tell for sure because of a short in the odometer.) Which brings me to the first con, electronics. There were a couple of shorts and other weird things happening. The transmission started to shift hard and slip out of gear on hot days. Overall I trusted this car with my life. Usually got me point a to b until a cold winter day. Heater had gone for some time and finally she overheated and kicked the bed, or so I thought. Family mechanic brought her from the dead. Still rotting in the yard.

  Love it - 2004 Pontiac Aztek
  By Rara - May 25 - 2:00 am

  I really do love my Aztec. I think it is a very cool looking vehicle. I love the interior as well. I like the back lower window, making it easier to see small children walking behind the vehicle. There is plenty of space for the kids that I car pool around town. I love that this vehicle is not the same as all the others, I like to stand out and be different! Love it, love it. Great on gas too!! Ra

  Just Lovin It - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By mcml - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Actually I have a 2001 Aztec. But these same comments still apply to the 2002 model. Very smooth highway ride. Handling is very good for an SUV type vehicle. Large amount of cargo space. The strong low end torque on this vehicle is very apparent when climbing hills. Very good fit and finish to this car. I have not had one problem with it. The large amount of plastic trim actually complements the Pewter exterior color of this car very nicely. Of course the Aztec generates a lot of stares, but most comments about it have been very positive, especially once they have seen the interior.

  Aztek Rocks! - 2004 Pontiac Aztek
  By mf12345678 - May 18 - 2:00 am

  Overall, best value for this size suv.Sure you can get more conventional looks, but it ,ll cost 5-10k more. Plus, i like the sporty lines and while i think they could be a little more refined, say along the lines of a larger version of the vibe, the actual sillouette of the car is very much the same as the new bmw suv and the lexus 330. Pontiac pioneered it, and while the others may have arguably improved on it,theyre remarkably quite similar. Car mag also complained about the split rear window, yet honda sports cars have used them since the 80s and mercedes does also. The car is priced like a cute ute yet hauls like a mid size. It really cant be beat.

  One great deal...... - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
  By Robert Surprenant - April 19 - 7:56 am

  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
