2000 Pontiac Aztek awd review from North America
"Beautiful concept - poor quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My head gasket blew at 28,000 miles.
The heater is not adequate.
The air conditioner is not adequate.
It took three years to fix the rear hatch so that it would open with remote or inside release.
The transmission is getting louder as I approach the 35,000 mile mark.
General comments?
This is the most comfortable car I have ever own.
With the design of this car, I can buy and transport large items without even needing a tie down strap.
Handles bumpy roads without a problem.
Interior is quiet and privacy glass is a nice touch for kids in back seat.
Love the stereo designed for tail gate parties. And the kids can access the radio and listen to their own music with headphones in the back seat.
