2003 Pontiac Aztek

Pros: Large cargo area. Very versatile, easy to fold seats. Great sound system.
Cons: Awkward rear view due to the back window. Doors are heavy.

You either love them or hate them but either way the Pontiac Aztek is a very versatile vehicle. A mid-sized SUV that is good on the gas and gives you the feel of a much larger vehicle. Very fun and functional. Easy fold seats and lots of high cargo area.

Aztek owners "get" each other and most wave as you pass.

Pros: Removable cooler, unique style, regular gas/ better then regular mileage, good headroom, comfortable to drive.
Cons: No grab bars above the doors, only remote tailgate latch.

I bought mine 2003 Aztec almost a year ago, 50,000 miles, all the toys (except "Heads Up" and Leather seats) for 10,700. Original owner paid 24,300. I love it. No mechanical issues at all,it rides great, stereo is fine and seats are comfy. Besides how many SUV's have a removable cooler between the seat???? I like that it looks different, and gas mileage is better than most. Check it out, you won't be disapointed!

Pros: AWD in these things are FANTASTIC! Lots of room. It's adorable.
Cons: GM's engineer can't fix it! HELP! if anyone has an idea please let me know!

I bought an aztek last October. It is now February. I love it. That thing goes through the snow like nobody's business :) However, I have had it in the shop.. let's see... 12 times?... maybe 15? The tires were bad, the window on the rear hatch was loose (rattled) The window had dirt in it ( go figure ) so it squeaked loud when rolled up or down. The brakes are REALLY loud, but the shop says they are fine and just do that.. so they won't fix it. The real problem, though, is a strange vibration. They have now replaced 2 tires, rebalanced the tires 3 times, replaced the rear differential, drive shaft, front springs, transfer case, and I am now waiting for my new tranny. They can not figure out what is wrong with it!! I just want it to be fixed! But a GM engineer has come up here and he thought it was the transfer case. Apparently wrong. I will keep you posted

***** New.... GM Bought it back as a lemon. :) I now own a 2003 Impala. No problems whatsoever with it so far :)

Pros: Value, quality, utilitarian, & very reliable GM powertrain.
Cons: The rear hatch needs to be redesigned like the Buick Rendezvous to allow better access.

Sure I was not impressed with the looks when we decided to buy this but it was much cooler and affordable than a mini-van. The vehicle has all the room we need, plenty of horsepower, the transmission shifts smoothly, and we love the bright yellow color. Value and function are high marks to this high quality GM vehicle that shows that I am not trying to compensate for something...
