Exterior looks aren't everything

The Pontiac Aztek has been known for having a different/odd, not so popular exterior. When I purchased my own I got mixed opinions, ranging from hitious to groovy. I was able to persuade each and every non-Aztek believe by showing them the awesome interior (I choose the loaded ISD package). Not only is the interior everything I was looking for, it was 10,000 dollars cheaper than a Buick rendevous or Chevy Traliblazer with loaded options. It rides great too. I absoultley love it!

A Surprise To Me

As a diehard pickup driver, I'm still surprised that I bought an Aztek, but I've never regretted the choice. This is the most versatile vehicle I've ever owned. I can haul a load of paneling, take my wife out to dinner, and go camping with the grandkids at the lake - all in the same vehicle. I've driven it over 31K miles in 17 months and I still love the comfort, the great handling, the peppy performance, and the great gas mileage (I average about 23mpg in town and 29mpg on the highway).

Incredible and underappreciated

Owning this vehicle has been a true joy. Its spacious interior has been very convenient, and folding middle seats function better then any other vehicle in its class for my needs. It's got the spacious function of a mini-van, without having the larger size. I also used the Aztek tent combo with it, and whilst I was moderately unimpressed by the tents ability to keep water out, I really loved the mattress and how perfectly it fit into the back. I took this vehicle on a 3500 mile road trip without a single problem. Love the way it feels to drive - very comfortable. It has good pickup, and sufficient torque for its class. A great experience owning it.

A lot bang for the buck

I bought my Aztek new in 2003. I drive a lot of highway so I wanted a few more comfort options and I wanted a vehicle that would sit up higher and have more room without getting a truck or a minivan. The car has been great with 2 large dogs and our child. It rides comfy and even though I thought these cars were so ugly when they came out, I actually like the look now. The car has been very reliable. I have read that consumer reports says to avoid them yet I have had few problems. The oil changes were always on time, I replaced the front brakes and bearings and had the 100,000 mile flushes done. At 113,000 miles the car is still riding as good as when it was new.

If you want a cookie cutter run of the mill SUV buy a Ford, Chevy, Mazda, Honda, etc,etc. If you want something different, that does everything well, then buy an Aztek. We've had ours about 3 weeks and are completely satisfied with it. The more we drive it the more we like. For the price, features, and all around vehicle satifaction, give the Aztek a try.
