2005 Pontiac Aztek Reviews

I  love my 2001 Aztek.  Yes I've had a few issues like leaking gasket and front suspension joints requiring replacement, but at 135k miles I would have had this with any car.  For our active family, one daughter in girl scouts and son who became an Eagle Scout - this car became ESSENTIAL for lugging week long camping equipment in and out of dirt and gravel road campgrounds for the last 6 years. I would not have  been caught dead in a BMW or Mercedes in some of these rough places (too out of place) and at half the price I accept the few scratches and acorn dings as badges of honor.
GREAT CAR. Biggest mistake GM made was listening to the critics. They should have KEPT IT and offered a stgronger engine. I would NOW be buying a NEW ONE if they were still made. Everytime a company comes out with a great car I like they discontinue it. Reminds me of the 4 wd Subaru GL XT i had in the early nineties. Stuck to the road like a slot car. And Subaru discontinued that.
