Quirky, but a great vehicle

Some people don't like the styling, but we love it even though it is a little quirky. Styling aside, this is a great vehicle. It is practical, comfortable, lots of room to haul stuff around. The mileage is better than most any other SUV. We have the bright Aztek yellow and it is great because you can easily find it in the parking lot. It easily tows our 19 foot I/O boat with no trouble at all.

total dismay

In 3 days after the purchase, it breaks down. The car would not start. The dealership did not respond quick enough. the 24hour assistance was just horrible. I was stranded on busy two - lane street (Ave of stars in Century city, L.A.). at 1 p.m. The service technician sent from the dealer arrived at the scene at 7:00 p.m. The guy did not even know where Century city was. To make it worse, he could not fix the problem. Then, I called the 24 hour road side assistance at 8;00 P.M. The towing truck driver arrived at 10:10 P.M. It has been the worst day of life and this is all because of one stupid, crappy car.

Dependable Alternative

I traded my Suburban for my Aztek. Best economics trade ever... I have 52K miles on my 2002, and have had no mechanical problems, and get 20/25 city and highway. Don't have the space of the suburban (9 passengers), but have room for 5 adults and luggage for same. I tow a 8' utility trailer for recreation, and love the flexibility of flipping rear seats down, or up, or taking them out easily. Cargo space is nice in the rear, with 48" width for hauling lumber for those home improvement projects. Drivers seat cover replaced under warranty last year.

Pontiac Aztek GM's Hidden Value

We decided to get the Pontiac Aztek. We were'nt wild over the styling,but one test drive completely changed our minds. We traded in our 2000 v-8 awd Ford Explorer. We feel the awd Aztek is GM's hidden value.As its price was much, much less than other suv's on the market. We dont do off road stuff and love the awd drive option on the Aztek. With the trailer towing package and 17 inch wheels its a awsume find. And a great value for the money. It out performs our Explorer by far and the ride is smooth and dont beat you to death. We get double the gas mileage on the Aztek and thats real easy to get use to. Its versatile, comfortable, and fun to drive.

Aztek: The car people love to hate

I bought the Aztek because of all of the great things it can do. It is the best car I have ever owned (I am 60 so I have owned a bunch). It does everything and is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. We went 14k miles last summer and never had any comfort problems. Get past the looks and buy one. You will really love it. You can get a good deal on one and shop around for the bells and whistles.
