2002 Pontiac Aztek review from North America
"Good handling, good price, great acceleration, I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
I bought this vehicle because it handles and feels like a car, plus I'm riding high, which I had gotten used to in my GMC.
Very roomy and hauls lots of stuff cross-country well (done this twice so far).
Gas mileage is excellent for this size car - about 27 mpg highway. Not so good in the city, but I can live with that.
Eye catching - people either love 'em or hate 'em. I personally thought it was totally ugly until I drove it, then it grew on me fast enough to buy it the next day.
The cooler is, well, cool! The storage options for the cargo area rock. Sorry, I don't have the tent.
I felt it was a little pricey, but then I want this car for the price of a Kia! Oh well. A good buy nonetheless.
Lived in Alabama during the summer and the A/C was always cold. Now I live in northern Ohio and cold startups are rough, but she kicks on without too much argument. Superb handling in the snow - I have good tread on all-weather tires and they have done excellent so far even in heavy snow.
