Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Versatile interior, available all-wheel drive.
Cons
- Some cheap interior materials, poor visibility, awkward styling.
What’s new
No major changes for the Aztek.
Edmunds says
Although functional as a minivan/sport-utility crossover, the Aztek's ungainly handling and weak engine make it hard to recommend over more refined wagons and sport-utes.

Love My Tek
5 out of 5 starsRic, 03/27/2016
2005 Pontiac Aztek Fwd 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
No BS here......I bought my Aztek new in 2005 and currently have 428,000 miles on the original engine and trans. I've replaced hub assemblies often but have it down to a science. I am having a problem with a clunking noise in the front end right now AFTER changing the ball joints, tie rods, struts and CV joints/half shafts. I'm thinking it's time for control arm bushings to get rid of … it. This has been the most reliable car I can and will ever own, it's only left me stranded once when the alternator went out......not bad for 428K and 11 years of daily driving.

2005 Pontiac Aztek AWD 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Our Aztec died in a crash recently and it will be missed.
The minivan based design allowed it to be a great snow ski hauler since ski's fit under the seat.
Although the spoiler did restrict rear vision - it also appeared to always block the headlights of the car behind us when they were tailgating.
It got us everywhere we needed to go.
The front seats of all cars are comfortable but the … often forgotten rear seat [I guess most parents think it is the kids problem not theirs] was very comfortable for the Aztec.
If the look can be ignored, the function is great.
Note: some Aztec's inherited all the problems.
Find a good one and keep it for life.

2005 Pontiac Aztek Fwd 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
I can sum up my review briefly...245,000 miles...body very good..0 rust.....original engine, transmission. Reolaced alternator and water pump but these didn't occur until 201,000 miles. This vehicle is hands down the most dependable, fun vehicle I have ever owned. I would buy another without hesitation.
AZTEC PERFORMANCE
4.75 out of 5 starsAZTEK, 02/19/2005
2005 Pontiac Aztek Fwd 4dr SUV (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
Cons are rear view visability which you learn to compensate for. However, the small turning radius, power and agility as well as good gas milage make this a really fun car to drive. Overall visibility is very good, and the car's overall performance is very good. Everyone who drives it, loves it!
