2001 Pontiac Aztek review from North America
"Wish we had bought two"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warranty replacement of stereo @50,000 miles.
Warranty replacement of timing chain @ 69,000 miles.
Replaced driver's window/lock control switch @71,000 miles.
General comments?
Very stable, handles well, good acceleration, always feels in control and solid. Excellent "snow" car. (front wheel drive with studs)
Great exterior visibility and an outstanding set of mirrors. Can tow as much as a short wheel base pickup.
Very comfortable cabin. With rear seats removed it has as much cargo capacity as a short bed pickup.
Excellent fuel mileage for size and weight of vehicle, 19-25 mpg.
