  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.

  Amazingly comfortable, smooth ride - 2004 Pontiac Aztek
  By David H. Hagen - January 29 - 2:00 am

  This is a nice SUV; smooth ride, great responsiveness, sharp exterior. This vehicle has enough room for my three kids, my wife and me to ride in perfect comfort. Who says you have to get a family-looking vehicle to be a family man?!? ;)

  most fun to drive - 2005 Pontiac Aztek
  By Alice - January 21 - 5:00 pm

  To most people this vechicle is ugly. In our area this car is driven predomanitly by 30 somethings. All I can say is BOY are they missing out! We have a 2 wheel drive version and it does great in the snow, mountians and everywhere. The handling is very responsive . It corners fantastic and I absolutly love curves.There is no rollover effect.

  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.

  this vechiles resale is the worst I have ever seen , It has had more problems than any other car I have ever owned, and then you cant get rid of the thing because it has drop so much in resale value.I would not recommend the AZTEK to anyone.

  Love my Lupe! - 2004 Pontiac Aztek
  By jax - January 12 - 10:00 am

  I tell everyone I know they should buy an Aztek! It is one of the best vehicles on the road, regardless of what people say about its looks! Personally, I bought it for its looks...I did not want something that everyone else had....I have never been that type of person. The bottom line is that it takes a certain person to look past the exterior of a person or a thing. The Aztek offers much more than I could ever hope for in a vehicle...it is comfortable, extremely fuel efficient and has a smooth ride. I averaged 40+ miles per gallon while driving around the U.P. of Michigan...what does that tell ya? My Lupe is dependable & reliable!

  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

  a few problems but Id buy it again - 2002 Pontiac Aztek
  By nah1978 - December 12 - 9:23 am

  I bought my 2002 AWD used with 25k and it is now up to almost 60k. Just a warning, be prepared to replace both the front wheel bearings at some point. I have done some research on the internet and this seems to be about the most common major problem with the vehicle. I was just out of warranty and it cost me about 400 bucks to do both. Even so I love this vehicle. You can get a good deal on them since some people dont like the looks. I just tinted all the windows and put a grill guard on and it looks awesome. It handles great, good MPG for an SUV (lower to mid 20s), plenty of room, good for hauling people or just flip the seats up and you can haul a ton of cargo.

  aztec lover - 2001 Pontiac Aztek

  Ive enjoyed my Aztec enough to by another one. Its the perfect size for my needs. Drives like a mini van w/o the extra size and is much more sporty.

  Incredible and underappreciated - 2003 Pontiac Aztek
  By Charlie - November 28 - 7:00 pm

  Owning this vehicle has been a true joy. Its spacious interior has been very convenient, and folding middle seats function better then any other vehicle in its class for my needs. Its got the spacious function of a mini-van, without having the larger size. I also used the Aztek tent combo with it, and whilst I was moderately unimpressed by the tents ability to keep water out, I really loved the mattress and how perfectly it fit into the back. I took this vehicle on a 3500 mile road trip without a single problem. Love the way it feels to drive - very comfortable. It has good pickup, and sufficient torque for its class. A great experience owning it.
