This is amazing - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By DrHorse - October 20 - 4:46 amLove it, just an amazing car. Fun to drive and never have a problem running in mod (I make little off-road with it). The security is very high, I face a hit and run and I got nothing, and very tuff. Only body was affected, now is look like and run like a new one!

Multifunctional Veh - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By MusicDoc - October 8 - 2:00 amRegarding the 2001 Aztek AWD GT - I use it in many capacities from business trips and lunches, to camping, cycling, and hiking. It is appropriate for both! Fun to drive, good designs, comfortable, and reliable. Great traction on snow and ice!!!

Why the major problems with no recalls? - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By koriseyes - August 19 - 12:56 amThe vehicle is really a nice vehicle but, and this is a big but. There are alot of problems with this car and I havent owned it a year. The a/c condenser is bad, so for most of the summer in 90 degree weather, Ive been a hot tamale. The cluster is bad in a spot or two. The odometer does not work. How is this supposed to affect my resale value when you cant see the mileage. Not to great I would imagine. And now it sounds like I may have the first Aztek to be apart of NASCAR. Everytime I turn a corner I sound like Im burning rubber. Im sure by now that Pontiac/GM know by now that every year of the Aztek has major problems so why is there not help to fixing these problems? Uh? REcall!

Good Car, But dont buy one used - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By Kevin - July 16 - 7:46 amSmooth ride...very adaptable...nice sound system...great tailgate vechicle...good in snow...decent MPG. The problem is the parts, under the first warranty the AC condenser,head and tail lightbulbs, broken plastic trim (overhead interior) had to be replaced. On the advice of a service tech. I extended the warranty what good advice...right after the first warranty expired the water pump, the starter, the 6-way power seat and the AC condenser (again), replaced. This is why people get mad and buy foreign because GM knew of these flaws and refused to fix them gratis...if you dont extend the warranty youre doomed. We still have it, and no problems I guess all the bugs are worked out.

Great car - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By bigwicker - July 6 - 10:00 amMy second Aztek. Handles beautifully. Comfortably but a fairly firm ride considering its build. 26 mpg hwy @ 80mph w. AC. Great room. Cant understand why Edmunds lists it as mid- size. No matter how fully loaded, I always seem to be able to see out the reah hatch. Great handling. I always know exactly where the front bumper is. A joy to park and maneauver in tight spots. Quick enough. Dependable so far (80k miles) Criticism: Spoiler on rear hatch encumbers rear view vision. Rear hatch doesnt want to release in cold weather. Lousy trade- in value...completely unjustified. Great car.

keep it for life - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By derek16 - June 1 - 5:50 amI have had this car for about a year now and i love it! When i first got it the temp. gauge went out so i returned it to the car dealer ship. They tried to fix it but the just broke it even worse and the broke the gas gauge. But i know when im gonaa run out. It is in the shop because the air conditoner compresser fell off but what can u expect. Every car will need work done to it eventualy. I have treat this car like crap and it has only broke down onec. Everyone says that it is good on the snow but i have ran into many curbs and bent the rims. All in all this is the best car that i have had and i plan to switch to the torrent when this one goes out. Very roomy. Hope this was helpful.

Pontiac Aztek Wind Noise - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By aztec - May 22 - 10:00 amAt highway speed (70 mph) the wind noise is excessive, so much that you can not talk on the cell phone or carry on a normal conversation. The manufacture calls this a wind turbulence and admits that it is there,however they will not fix or replace this defective vehicle.

Very satisified - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By handsym - March 11 - 10:00 amI have had 3 trouble-free years of service from this vehicle. The ride is great and extremly quiet. My wife wants to get a new one, but the one we have has been so good, that we are holding off.

It got a bad rap - 2001 Pontiac Aztek
By Mina - February 6 - 9:36 amAt first I thought it was just plain ugly! Then I drove it and bought it, needing a car NOW. Fun to drive, great U-turns, comfortable, enough features. New engine at 72,000 miles - a piston/cylinder spring broke - but thats the only problem. 26 mpg on trips - really good for the space we had. Seating was good, even used the tent and mattress once (were older). Liked having shoulder belt in middle of back seat. Disgusted that Pontiac/GM didnt have a comparable sized replacement, now in 2007 Rendezvous. Like that, but, again, discontinued.
