2005 Pontiac Aztek consumer reviews

I am an owner of a Pontiac Aztek, I got a good deal on it, new, because alot of people didnt like the design. I love it, it looks smaller on the outside but the back seats can fold down or you can completely remove them. This is great for anyone with kids. I was able to fit a full size mattress in it, I was moving and spending nites renovating, I needed my mattress. It is a good vehicle, mainly general maintenance is all I had to do!

I love Pontiac's (except this monstrosity). This is the second ugliest American car I Have seen in my 61 years. The ugliest title to the Rambler Marlin! Whomever designed and/or approved this grand mess of a design must have hated the Pontiac brand(Probably Buick Folks). Purchased because it was cheap and because my 16 year old just wanted some wheels, anything,even this hideous thing.

As a previous owner of an Aztek I recomend it and regret not having it still, it is confortable, heavi, stabe Almost 300 miles per tankif not a little over, ample cargo space. In the five years I owned all I did was the regular change of oil and filters, rotoate the tire. brakes a couple of timesand tires also a couple of time. Mind you I used to drive from 100 to 200 miles daily. Interiorwhise, the watercooler was a great concept, dashboard wise it had it all at the rich of your hands, it was quiet. and for the Road all I can tell you might not be enoug. I would not hesitate in buying another one even if unfortuantely can not be new.

PROS...Roomy and Comfortable , Versatile and surprising how well it handles. Cons... Gas Mileage around 18 in City maybe 22 Highway. Ugly ?? I have the RALLY Edition with added Suspension in the Rear Chrome Rims and Accents and Sunroof. Mine is also ALL BLACK...looks very Sporty and somewhat Mean. Several People have commented to me "Thats an AZTEK ?? Wow they are usually Weird looking , thats Kool. So Far I am Happy with the Vehicle.

I am looking to trade my 2001 Aztek in but I can't find one I love more...so I am looking for a used one!

The first issues noticed were how the seat cups your butt into it and pushes your chest out. For a four hour drive up to Bemidji, MN this is a huge uncomfortable problem. Then the electrical failures started. First the radio(just like my G6) when you start the car, the radio pops onto a random station or the cd player will come on to a random track, weird... The headlights went out, then they started working again and now I have to drive with just brights because the low beams shorted out, weird. Sometimes the brights act up and I have to click the lights selector a few times until they start working again or shut off and on again a few times to get everything to work again.

I have owned my Aztek for four and a half years. I live in Colorado and I do a lot of outdoor recreational activities. This is an amazingly versatile vehicle - I can carry a tandem kayak or skis on the roof with 5 passengers inside, or take out the seats and haul ladders and construction materials in the back, or fit 5 inside and open the back hatch for a tailgate party at the football game. The interios is huge and you can remove back seats to fit 2, 3, or 5 passengers with room to spare in the hatch area. Small vehicle footprint so it fits in small parking spaces. Very maneuvarable. Great hanfling and enough power on mountain roads. All wheel drive is great in winter - when all of my neighbors were stuck in 20+ incheas of snow, I could easily drive through neighborhood streets. Only problem is that the transmission failed after about 85,000 miles which was disappointing. Mileage is just so-so (about 15 in the city - I would have expected better).

Great ride, large trunk area , lots of pep and good gas milage. 26 highway and 15-17 stop and go situations. Lots of people think the style is unusual , but dramatic. The spoiler and redone side panels helped the image from the earlier model. Sorry GM didn't continue the name plate.

The Aztek has been excellent I have no complaints! Very comfortable, handles great, and good on gas . Great on long trips too.

I have had many many cars and trucks in my days, and I've never felt safer or more stylish. When they first came out I said "Oh look- they are driving a robot!" But the styling grew on me because it was different, and more and more of the concept cars and trucks at the auto shows were going for a sharper look. So I bought one, and for the past 4 years, it has never let me down! Great gas mileage, dependability, and I even feel safer in it than my husbands past GMC Yukon, Durango, Chevy Suburban, and Escalade. I just paid mine off, and if I were ever in the market for a new truck, I would go for another Aztek, but I will get the leather and sun roof too!!!! Shame on Pontiac- they never should have stop making it!
