2001 Pontiac Aztek consumer reviews

I've owned two of these cars over the years. My first one my family bought new back in 2000. It lasted until January of 2023 when the head gasket blew at 273k miles. Our second one I purchased two years ago with 98k miles. These cars are incredibly comfortable to ride in. They are versatile, are good at moving people and things, and get pretty decent MPG for a 2001 V6. Since it is 2023, finding good ones is getting harder and harder to do, so keep in mind a few things when purchasing one. These vehicles are notorious for head gasket failures. Mine when up at 150k and 273k miles on my one Aztek. They also like to rust on the back half of the rocker panels near the wheel wells. Besides those issues these vehicles are pretty bullet proof with the proper maintenance and if you don't beat on them.

this vehicle is very ugly and has so much problems i can't even name all of them and mine was used so i was trash it would be a percent better if it was no but would still be trash. don't recomend buy anyone car if possible

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 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.

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....

This vehicle is a lot of fun to drive, Its great for camping and tailgating and has a very cool interior. The vehicle is very comfortable and easy to drive.

I have found great use of the tailgate and tent feature, Its perfect for off roading and setting up camp where ever. I also enjoy the cooler feature as well as the air compressor built into the trunk.

I looked at 32 different Aztek?s. It is the best one I found with no rust. The seller was extremely thorough in detail about any issues. Car arrived and was better than I expected

This was one of my favorite vehicles ever. I wanted to buy another model when this one got older, only to find out that they stopped making them in 2005. This was great for taking the kids on family trips and driving around town and just everything. A lot of times in the evening when we were driving home they would be asleep in the backseat. The heated seats are great for cold winters and people with back issues. The sound system is a lot of fun. I will miss this vehicle.

This car had a lot of room in it, really quick, and a unique look, but the reliability was totally awful.
