Ugly yes, but a good vehicle overall!
Solid, was a great vehicle. No major issues, never let me down as my daily driver. Got rid of it a few years ago and was a huge mistake. But i would not hesitate on purchasing one again.
I loved it, but it's time to let go......
I bought this car when it was 2 years old. I had searched for one and drove 5 hours to test drive it, because this was all I was interested at the time (my previous vehicle was a Jeep Grand Cherokee that ate brakes and rode extremely rough). Test drive went well, the dealer and I agreed on a price below their asking price, and it was mine. The model I have has the split captain back seats, multi cd disc changer (5 or 6, I can't remember), sun roof, power seats, rear stereo and tailgate bench, console cooler, tent....I'm sure I'm leaving something out. The leather seats were some of the most comfortable seats in any car I ever owned. I currently own a Cadillac and I would say they are right up there with comfort comparison. When the kids were young, the rear outlets for their electronics were a lifesaver. Also the headphones where they could listen to whatever, and block out adult conversation made them enjoy it more. The rear fold out bench was perfect for tailgating and using the rear stereo system. We never used the tent or the cooler, other than for console storage. We have 5 vehicles now, and the Aztek hasn't been driven in a year, so we are selling. I had hoped to keep it, but with a husband that seems to collect sport cars, it's the least logical one to keep. It had a good run and the only thing I ever had to do to it was to get the brakes fixed (I guess new rotors??? I'm female, don't fault me for not knowing). I hated Pontiac went out of business because over the years, our family had a few Grand Prix's, a Firebird or two, and the Aztek, and never had any major problems with any of them. Goodbye old friend....you served us well. I hope a new family will enjoy you like we did.
Sad that the journey is over...
I got this car used. It wasn't gently used either. I loved it immediately. It was over on the miles, but still looked awesome and drove great. I remember a boyfriend told me that it was on it's last legs 7 years ago. I have put another 80,000 miles on it since. It's been a great ride, but I think now 9/2019, our journey is almost over. Sigh....
