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)

We purchased our Aztek used in 2003. Had very low miles & fully loaded. Had taken it in last winter to fix condenser on A/C unit & to repair head gasket. Major work. Since we had no warranty left, luckily GM came through & paid for the parts (1/2 the total price). We had to pay for the labor which still cost us $1,000.00. When driving long distance, neck tend to get sore & tense. The back hatch doesn't release on the 1st try. ABS system makes noises sometimes. Will buy Toyota or Honda next. They tend to stand buy their product!!

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.

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.

Love my Aztek

I have never had a problem with my Aztek. I put nearly 30,000 miles a year on it and it has never given me any trouble. My Aztek is fully loaded with the exception of AWD and heated seats. The heads up display is a cool feature. The storage tray is convenient although if you set anything on it while drive it will slide around. I think the storage tray should have been coated with a rubber surface. The onboard air pump should be standard on all vehicles. I can pump up an air mattress, basketball or all of my tires. The 6 disc in-dash CD player and factory 10 speaker Pioneer sound system are great. I would say the engine is a little under powered for the weight but overall I love my Aztek.
