Trying to re-start the car after it has been shut off for a few minutes is really hard. Also the back air foil is right in the line of sight as you look in the rear-view mirror.

I bought the Aztek because I had GMcard dollars I needed to use, it had big incentives, and I wanted a wagon. The Aztek has far exceeded my expectations. After 43k miles, not a single problem. I get 26 mpg on the freeway, the car rides like a Buick (this is great for freeway, bad for enthusiasts), it has over 100 cubic feet of storage (more than any wagon - check), and the exterior design is actually looking better as it ages. Interior design is a little cheesy, but incredibly functional and versatile. Engine and handling are lazy, but smooth and competent. My wife is in love with this car, and it has been an unmatched value. Azteks made after the first years are surprisingly reliable

was suprised

I'm a "traditional" SUV type person and I was kinda skeptical about the Aztek (looks a lil funny), even after we test drove and decided to buy it. Acceleration is very good, and out performs my Tahoe when it comes to gas mileage. Over the course of a weekend trip I was averaging aprox 27 mpg hwy, with the ac running too. WOW! My chevy, as much as I love it, wouldnt have done much better than 18 mpg at best. so on fuel economy, I have no complaints. The interior is fairly user friendly, and is a comfy ride. About the only thing I dont like is that its AWD and not 4WD. Visibility all around isnt bad.

2004 PONTIAC AZTEC - AN ALL TIME ACE

I am 84-years-old and don't need car problems. Now, in my 16th year with my Aztec, I just don't have any. Tires, brakes, oil are about it. The sweetest jalopy that ever lived has 115,000 miles on it.. My plan is to soon turn it over to my grandson, maybe in another four or five years. Whatever was said about Aztec's styling when it debuted can be chucked. Screw the styling, the car is an absolute winner. Dave LeVine, Fargo, ND

I Love My Ride!

I wasn't sure I wanted to buy such a strange looking car, but gave it a trial run. Boy! Was I surprised. The Aztec drives and rides like a dream: roomy and comfortable, turns on a dime, and carries just about anything for regular daily use. My husband has arthritis of the spine, so he is really impressed with the heated seats. And we love the idea of dual temperature controls. The tent and air mattress (with an air valve built in one of the cubbies) were pleasant surprises, as we are avid campers. I am so glad I didn't let the strange appearance turn me off, besides... It's beginning to grow on me.
