2004 Pontiac Aztek AWD

Faults:

Had to have new power steering punp @ 34000 miles. Transmission is slipping at 34000. I have had to replace lights already. The wiper motors went out of sink on the 2nd day I had it. I will never ever buy another Aztek. I called Pontiac to check on recalls and the lady was rude to me.

2004 Pontiac Aztek AWD 3.4 Gas

Summary:

Exceptional Value! Great car

Faults:

So far no problems what so ever.

General Comments:

I have always considered the back end of the Aztek to be, well ugly. I have looked at them since they came out. I had heard that they were comfortable and great to drive.

When my Montana died, and I had to replace it right away, I bought my used

Aztek. I loved it from the first minute I had it, and I like it better every day. It is comfortable for driver and passengers (they have all remarked they like it), forward and sideways visibility is excellent. The spoiler makes for a weird rear image, but it is doable. When it rains the upper window is sort of like a fishbowl, but with a modicum of caution, not a problem. I found the stock AM/FM CD entertainment system to be surprisingly crisp, and works better than a custom unit I have in another vehicle. The flexibility of the interior, with the cargo net is great. The folding removable seats are another bonus. Just the fact that you can take them out without wrecking your back is great.

Once you get past the looks of the rear, it is fantastic. I like mine better than the Buick Rendezvous I looked at.

A great vehicle. If I do not abuse it, I have gotten 24.7 mpg with it, but normally I get about 21 or 22. But that is my fault as I tend to be an aggressive driver.

2004 Pontiac Aztek FWD V6

Summary:

The best SUV on the market for the price

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

This is the SUV I have dreamed of. It is quick, and has excellent handling. The quit smooth rides lets you enjoy the awesome stereo. I have no complaints yet. But, it is still brand new. Was a steal at 0% for 60 months.

Apparently not enough people felt the same way about the Aztek... GM plans to discontinue production of this model in December 2004.
