Aztek is Terrific
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!
The Best UGLY car you could ask for.
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 can't 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.
Best Vehicle Ever!
You must purchase this vehicle! It is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have purchased brand new vehicles time and time again. This time I thought it would be smart to pay cash for a vehicle. The Aztek's are priced low and literally the best vehicle I have ever owned. I work at a large dealership and it literally drives better than a brand new vehicle! Really reliable I've never had a problem which is amazing with such high mileage. This vehicle is in showroom condition even the leather is like new. Pontiac really made a sound vehicle this time! Really pround of my vehicle, and enjoy driving it each and everyday! After getting out of new vehicles I look forward to mine! Buy 1!
Interesting & Fun
When I first saw the uniqueness of this car, I fell in love. I did much research in the net and prowled dealerships before making the final decision. I have loved it from the first test drive to the present. With its slide out tray in the rear, makes loading and unloading a breeze. Love the tailgate seat, the air shocks are a God send and the compressor is very useful when in remote places. When driving on long trips, quite pleased with the mileage on the highway. Once I even got 40 Can. miles per gallon, not estimated but calculated. Did have to get the computer replaced but felt that it was something I did. No other major repairs so far to date. Loved its stability on the highway.
Mechanical Difficulties
I have driven the Pontiac Aztec for almost 3 yrs and I have had difficulty with the condensor for the air conditioner 2 summers straight. The condensor was leaking and cracked both times and had to be brought to dealership for repair of the same problem. The information lights continously come on and display inaccurate information. The air-bag light comes on and stays on. Outside of mechanical problems, it is a fun car to drive but I would never purchase another one of it's kind and I would encourage not purchasing a car before it has been on the road for at least 2 years.
