Used 2002 Pontiac Aztek SUV Consumer Reviews
The swiss army knife of SUVs
I've tried a little of everything in my Aztek... the AWD is really slick, and really keeps the car moving in the snow. The camping package now includes a sun canopy, and the aztek handles great on the curvey roads. The console/cooler is great because i can use it everyday for work. The styling with the 17" wheels is now outstanding, and it's fun to have other aztek drivers honk and wave at you. There is plenty of room to swallow luggage, and the sliding cargo tray makes other SUV owners jealous. If you get Onstar you can call your friends on the road and tell them how much fun you're having! My Aztek has felt very solid over bumpy roads.
Mixed Bag
I was singing its praises for the first few months of ownership, but now- 2,000 miles into ownership, on its first road trip-major problem. A boot on the drive shaft broke and left me stranded for more than a week while the part had to be shipped from Detroit. GM has no trip interrupt policy so they paid some but I was out $500 in expenses-plus the inconvenience. The dealer said if the drive shaft would have dropped on the pavement at highway speed-we'd be dead! A few other minor complaints- the rear hatch struts are too weak for the heavy trunk. The radio is possessed-stations will change, tracks will change, and the mode AM/FM/CD will change.

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.
fun and functional
We have owned our Pontiac Aztek for a month now. After looking at several different models we chose this one due to price and initial impressions, with both room and comfort in mind. This car has proven to be a great choice, it is so quiet inside the cabin, and both very roomy and comfortable. I find its exterior looks to be very appealing, and the ride is both smooth and responsive. I think we have made an excellent choice. I am sorry they won't be making this car anymore after this year though, I do recommend it very strongly.
