Pontiac Aztek 2001Change

poor visability for tall driver, rough ride in four wheel version, no rear wiper, tail gate drops down making poor trunk accessability,over size convex side mirrors that i found inaffective, poor location for interior light,seats did fold up well for cargo, never used tent, it did have great traction in snow and was fun for weekend ski trips to lake louise , if it had toyota engine would be good suv , the sun visor would not stay in position very fustrating but i could always find the bright yellow and black car in the parking lot

Pontiac Aztek was a fantastic family vehicle. Solid, safe, with excellent interior feature that made it versatile and pragmatic. A little bit piggy on gas, but not one major mechanical issue with engine or transmission. Also no exterior body issues whatsoever in 7 years of ownership. One minor issue was the weight of the rear lift glass, too heavy for the gas shocks partiluarly in the winter. Also, solid for towing too. The optional interior "bike" kit includes cool seat covers that protect seats from kids and pets etc so they were like new when time for re-sale. Great allraound vehicle...but you'll never wash away those looks!

I picked this up to replace a Kia Rio 5. For a used vehicle it has performed a world better than expected. Amazing amounts of space, room enough for 3 adults and two kids, and great safy features like traction control, and abs breaking. I hope to get is to 300,000 km.
