Best SUV on the road

Wife bought a 2001 AWD GT and loves it. Leather seats, ice cold AC, towing package which we have used a couple times to tow a car from out of state. Drives and rides extremely comfortable, the 3.4 engine has plenty of pickup and pep.

Captain's chairs are great except for skinny armrests which are not comfortable at all. Car gets fantastic gas mileage...Car is exceptionally heavy compared to other SUV's but get the 16" wheels for much better handling.Car is sluggish and acceleration is only fair. Cornering is another challenge. ABS brakes are ok but again you've got a lot of weight to stop...The Aztek is super roomy with great head room.. The biggest problem with this car is rear visibility-there is none...there is a major design flaw with the back end.If you like a car that is different and cost a GM V.P.of design his job...the Aztek is for you.

Many huge pluses but not enough leg room, and I don't like the gm service so maintaining it is a drag. Driving it is fine. Handles well but a bit light on its feet in snowy conditions.

I love my Aztek!! A cool looking midsize SUV with all the features of a luxury SUV. This is the best thing out there, in my opinion. I can't believe it is not more popular. It is comfortable, sporty, practical and FUN! I love driving it!

I love this SRV. My teen daughter's friends say it's a "luxury vehicle". We sprung for all the amenities and it was worth it. I love the look on people's faces when they see me driving it. It isn't ugly, just different! It also has saved me from many an accident due due the traction control. We have been everywhere with it, including the mountains in a snowstorm. We did have a problem with it (first year model!!) and it took forever to get the car back - I missed it so much! We're buying the 2004 next month!!!!!!!!!!!!
