So you're saying you've never been inside one of these vehicles? If not, that leads me to believe you've never driven one. Do you have anything else as to way this car sucks besides "it's ugly" ? If not, then you have a poor reason to call it a piece of crap. By the way, who cares if someone defends it? You're defending your opinion just as much he is his, are you saying that he should be denied the right to stick up for his thoughts but you should be able to say what you wish?

There are plenty of reasons some people listed over in the other thread I was talking about entitled ''cars I hate''. I think it's 4 pages long, but they are in there. One I remeber is that it has the 3.4L engine, which is WAY underpowered to do anything with. The thing is worthless, besides maybe getting groceries. It can't tow anything, or even hold much weight without having the bumper drag on the ground. And yet they still have the nerve to call this thing an SUV. It has no off road capabilities, it's a piece of crap

Do you really think that when GM had the Aztek in mind, they thought "It's gonna TEAR UP the off-road scene" Off-road can mean through grass, or dirt for that matter. My family owns an Aztek and you know what? It serves its purpose. My mom uses it to go back and forth to work. The engine hasnt given her any trouble, she maintains it well, and hauls people in it. Ive never seen the bumper drag when it's been packed with people. The ONLY reason it is considered an SUV is because it can come in AWD. Vans come in AWD, does that mean they are meant to go off-road and should be bashed on because they wouldnt handle well off-road? I do agree, It shouldnt be called an SUV, but answer me this, dispite your thoughts of the engine, have you actually driven one?

I think the HP rating speaks for itself. I can think of a lot of vehicles less than the price of an Aztec (25K) that would be plenty more practical at getting groceries and hauling people. When they classified this vehicle they must have forgotten what SUV stands for. When is that last time you saw an Aztec pulling something like a trailer? My point is they are worthless. Yes they can carry passengers, wow-since that is what the automobile was meant for. A station wagon can hold more people. This vehicle serves no logical purpose you can't find elsewhere in other vehicles.

That's great, now answer the question that I asked you in the first place.

Gee, WTF do you think?
I made the statement before-''based on the outside appearance I wouldn't even want to look inside''
So if I've never even looked inside, does this lead any obvious conclusions to you genius?

No need to get snippy, now is there? I only asked you to answer my original question, I see no problem in that. Now, you have never driven one, yet you make all these claims. I know the HP rating on the vehicle, and lest we not forget MY FAMILY OWNS ONE so I know how many people it holds. Look at the vehicle, what are you going to tow with it? Why do you think they put so much storage room on the inside of it?

How much does the Aztek cost? I, as well as many others, find it horribly hurrendous! Its fugly, its stance is fugly, and not to mention it scares the living crap out of little kids upon first glance . Oh well... Again... How much does one of these ugly ducklings cost?

This is the most pathetic thread i have ever seen. No one in here has probably ever even driven an Aztec, and your knocking on it. I work at a pontiac dealership and i have grown to like the Aztec, even the STYLING, it grows on you. Sure the puke green colored two tone might be ugly but that's it. As for the car in general, it has one of the best GM production engines ever made, and it rides better than a caddilac. And you know what, since it has come out, i have only seen one Aztec on our used car lot out of the 3 we have. These are tasteless insults on a car you know nothing about..

Josh, let it go, they will never think any different.

I just bought one this weekend and I love it. Every day I love it more and more, and the more people wince at it, the more I love it. I've always thought they were sharp looking, but the test drive cinched it for me. For those of you in doubt, drive one, then comment on it.

For what its worth, I also drove the Element, and found it to be extremely unimpressive. The engine is very weak, and the comfort level is well, nonexistent. Driving the Aztek makes the Element not even register as a viable automobile.

I think most Aztek owners are like me, too. I think if you get sickened by an automobile that someone else is driving, then you deserve that discomfort for being such a complete sheepish idiot. *I* am the kind of person who gets sick of mediocrity and cookie cutter SUVs that all look alike. Basically, if you like being low key and easily blending in with everyone else, do not buy an Aztek, it's not for you.

There you have it, a satisfied customer with the same thoughts as myself and my cousin(Z28Josh).

So what? I'm sure Dahlmer would post positive comments about eating human flesh, but that doesn't mean its not disgusting to the other 6,000,000,000 people on the planet.

[-Josh-]

Eating flesh is a taboo, your comparing something taboo such as eating flesh to a good vehicle such as the aztec. A taboo is something rejected by society because it is outrageously wrong in case you were wondering, i dont think 6,000,000 ppl find the aztec in the same category as eating flesh.

[YogsVR4]

I pointed out that I think you missed my point in the other thread that is turning into a mirror of this one.


I'll go back to the forum "Cars I love/Cars I hate" The Aztek is a car I hate. I should say disgusted but that would be an understatement.
