88K-5+ Years: Going Great.

First was my wife's car. Became mine last year. Great road car. Wish we could get 27-29 mpg, best ever 26.5 on highway. Got rid of full-size pick-up and took over the Aztek ... not a bad deal. Few negatives, lots of good stuff. Stereo rocks. Pull out tray in rear is wonderful. If they still made them, we'd buy another.

Great vehicle. 168k and still going strong. Best feature is the versatility of the the interior. Easy to remove seats.

My favorite car of all time

My biggest disappointment is that I'll never be able to get another one. I have loved the reliability, value and function of this car. Rides fantastic! Great pickup. Function, function, function on the interior. Like everyone else, I would say the rear spoiler causes a major blind spot but you do get used to it. I have almost 90K on this and still no problems. I am going to drive it into the ground.

I Love My Aztek

I've had my Aztek now for 10 months. I absolutely love it. I went from driving a 1992 Toyota Corolla to the Aztek. Huge change! Indeed a great one though. My husband and son have no problems with not enough room like I did with the previous car. I've not had to replace anything on it but the brakes and tires. It had 92000 miles on it when I bought it. Great gas mileage for an SUV. Awesome stereo system!

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.

My Aztek has been the 'perfect' vehicle for me out all the vehicles I have ever owned! It's not a girlie (mini-) SUV, but handles like a car. I love the interior because it's easy to clean up spills. (My three teenagers and I live in the car!) It is easy to handle, doesn't sit too high or too low, sporty, converts easily for more cargo space, and I easily put my 7-8 foot fresh cut Christmas tree in it! It's been the best investment I've ever made in a vehicle!

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

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.

Love It

If you can get past the back end of the Aztek and look inside and drive it, you will love it. When I first saw these on the road I thought they were the ugliest things ever. When I test drove it, I didn't see the back end and didn't realize it was "THAT" car until afterwards. By then I had already wanted it. Tons of room! Very comfortable and I don't feel like I will tip over in it like I did in other small SUVs (like the Hyundai Santa Fe). There are some blind spots however, once you get used to it you learn to work around it.

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
