Bought this car from my in laws. What a bad choice. It was low on miles when I bought it from them. Fuel censor went, and they never replaced it. It was just 32 days after they purchased it. They had done some minor repairs on it. They barely drove it. So when I bought it 9 yrs old with 114k on it. I though I was laughing. I have now put it up to 154k in about 1 1/2 yrs. And the transmission just pooched on me a few days ago. The engine light comes on often, the breaks go, the gasket needs changing. No heat in the winter or air conditioner in the summer. And its been fixed repeatably. I am glad to hand over this hunk of junk.

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.

I bought this vehicle because I needed something bigger with a new child in the house. I couldn't bring myself to buy a minivan. I was unexpectedly surprised. I bought an AWD version with the 6 disc CD changer and ten speaker stereo and the stereo is LOUD! It has been a capable handler in deep snow and rain and I am pretty happy with it. The black color helps blend that odd bodyside cladding and I feel it looks good. I have driven it cross country many times so far and I have not had any mechanical problems except for an A/C problem that just cropped up. This is being fixed under warranty by the way.

If you are looking at buying an aztek because they are roomy or because they have the cool camping package. You are not going to like it once you recive the bill! You are reading information from a real Pontiac aztek owner and I am (warning you plz do not buy this suv) yes you! I am sick and out of thousands! I cry everyday for what this aztek has done to me! I am a single mom and now have no car. I have owned this suv for 5 yrs and put a computer in, Windows dont work, 2head, oil pump, fuel pump, intake sensor, gas-Gage wont read, radiator, starter, conpressor, and now at 121,000 motor with a 4g bill! And I only have 4 payment left to make to the bank on it! Dont let it take you for a ride like it did me! Ty
