Used 2001 Pontiac Aztek SUV Consumer Reviews
Darth Vader's Golf Cart
If you like the style, it is a great deal. Where else can you get a mid-sized American SUV with AWD, heated leather seats, side air bags, 10 speaker stereo and a heads-up display off of an F-15 fighter - for $10,000 less than a Ford Explorer or Jeep Grand Cherokee? (And with better gas mileage, and lowest rollover risk)
It Grows on you!
I was a little iffy on the looks of this thing but once you drive it, look at all the great features and really get to know it you grow to love it. This is perfect for our family of 5 the kids all feel in love with it, ages 17- 11. I really think it is 3 vehicles in one, a SUV, minivan, and a pickup truck. SO VERSATILE! It will grow on you.

Huge disappointment
I have had EXTENSIVE problems (complete electrical system meltdown was the main one) with this vehicle. It had been in the shop 12 times in less than 15 months and 20000 miles. This car was recalled for a "battery discharge condition" (see NHTSA website for details). The dealership was useless to fix the problem; they just kept replacing the battery and cleaning the spilled battery acid off the engine and sending me on my way. I complained to GM and they refused to fix the car also. There are many good reviews from Aztek owners on Edmunds, so my case must be an isolated incident. But after my horrible experience, I cant see myself buying another one.
AZTEK
Best part of the vehicle is the gas mileage with over 10,000 miles on the car we are averaging over 27 miles per gallon which includes city as well as highway driving. Really handles well and is comfortable.
Good Car, But don't buy one used
Smooth 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 don't extend the warranty you're doomed. We still have it, and no problems I guess all the bugs are worked out.
