2004 Pontiac Aztek 1SC Rally Edition from North America - Comments

None yet.

This car rocks:

Quick acceleration.

Great gas mileage 24-27 mpg combined city/highway.

Smooth & comfortable ride...won't feel the bumps.

Enough gadgetry to make even 007 and Batman proud.

Huge cargo space... try 4 X 8 plywood slabs.

Safe as a Volvo.

Versatile...it's a car, it's a mini-cargo van, it's a mini-RV with the.

Tent package...world's first TRUE CROSSOVER.

Cheap to buy because people keep saying it's ugly. These are the same people who drive SUV's that are soooo BLAH.

You're right, it WAS the world's first crossover, and they ARE great vehicles. What matters is that YOU are happy with it. They are very high-quality and versatile vehicles with the awesome reliability and build quality of GM. Congrats on a great vehicle!!

You've only had this car for a little over 200 miles. I would not rate the reliability just yet. Mine was the MOST unreliable vehicle I have ever owned. The A/C system was by far the worst. Constant attention, replacing, and suffering of stinkyness. The next was the transmission, always something not right about it. Fuel pump, thermostat, radiator hoses, fan bearings, heater core, the controlls, power locks fell in, power windows don't always work, etc etc etc etc etc.

I luckily dumped it at 41,000 miles to a person that was running an impact test for new highway barriers. I was happy the thing was out of my hair, and that I got to watch it get munched.

Two ends to a spectrum...

BLAH.

And.

This monstrosity.

Oh, this review is serious?

The only thing uglier is the Ssangyong Rodius.

Try looking at a 2004 Pontiac Aztek Rally and a host of the new SUV's like the Lexus, Nissan Murano and even the 2007 CRV.

Don't those new SUV's look oddly familiar. Oh, which ugly SUV were we talking about by the way? Maybe I need to have my eyes examined. But, bottomline is, I am sooooo grateful to all the people to have been bashing the Aztek, but never really drove one. They were instrumental in bringing the price of this incredibly fine vehicle within my reach. Thank you. Now I know that Azteks open their lights automatically at dusk. Can your SUV do that very simple thing?

I was driving my Aztek along the freeway at a cozy 55mph. That was the posted speed limit there since there were a lot of road construction going on along that stretch. It was uneventful when a car suddenly went past me on my right side (probably doing 70mph) and cut in front of me. He miscalculated and had his rear passenger door within inches of my headlights. I immediately swerved hard to the left to prevent him from clipping my front right side. Thanks to the Aztek's traction control and ABS, I got out of that one with just a thin graze line on the right front side of the wraparound bumper armor. I quickly got back up to speed and was soon chasing that lunatic down the highway. He bugged out and headed for the nearest exit when he saw my Aztek careening towards him at 110mph within 10 seconds from 40mph. He was probably one of those Aztek haters on this site... same know-it-all clowns who never really drove an Aztek.
