2001 Pontiac Aztek review from North America
"I would buy one again since I know some of these issues are corrected in subsequent years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Faulty Body Control Module (resulting in wipers and door locks operating on their own intermittantly.
Faulty heated seat element (twice)
Water pump gone bad at 60,000.
Rear hatch requires two attempts to unlatch.
General comments?
Gets very good gas mileage for the size/shape of vehicle - consistently 27-28 mpg.
Comfortable ride.
Sits nice and high - good ground clearance.
Quiet ride.
Loads of storage.
On-board compressor is a 'must have'
