There is something wrong with that link back in Aztek 2, I couldn't get to this topic without typing it in. Thanks.

Better watch out you might get yourself deleted.
#6 of 4872 Aztec versus other SUVs by genegrad Sep 24, 2000 (11:53 pm)
My wife and I were set yesterday to buy an Aztec but the dealer wouldn't make us the deal we wanted so we walked out. We have two vehicles to trade-in (as we want to consolidate to one) and have decided to try and sell at least one, if not both, ourselves. Anyway, we love the Aztec but have been getting sidetracked with the Mazda Tribute (which we know is like the Escape but we're not interested in the Escape) and maybe even a higher end car instead of SUV (SRV). I read through most of the posts from the previous Aztec posts and most of the negatives I saw concerned styling. Is there anything with the interior, engine, handling, etc. that anyone has really had a problem with? The more I see the Aztec the better I like it but I know it's a strange bird off the bat with its looks. Also, are you at least seeing the mpg listed for it?

Personally, I think that I would wait until the IIHS offset crash test results have been released on the Pontiac Aztek if I wanted to buy one. My concern is that the Aztek (and Buick Rendezvous) is based on the GM minivan platform, which did very poorly in the European and IIHS front offset crash tests: http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_ratings/ce/vans/trans_sport.htm Despite the GM literature, there is still ambiguity as to whether the safety cage/platform has been improved crashworthiness-wise. Only crash tests can prove or disprove this. Good luck with your decision! Drew/aling Townhall Community Leader/Vans Conference
#8 of 4872 I had problems with handling and engine... by kate5000 Sep 25, 2000 (2:41 pm)
I found handling to be too minivan-ish for my taste, ride too floaty, and engine is a bit too weak for this heavy vehicle. Interior is a bit controversial. There are great-looking things there (like gauges) or yucky sticky grey knobs on radio... but then again it's a matter of taste. Escape/Tribute is nice, but I'd be concerned with a multitude of quality problems they seem to experience. Look and shop around. My personal favorite is Subaru Forester, and yes I own one
#9 of 4872 Concerns by jeno2 Sep 25, 2000 (6:51 pm)
I too liked the Aztek but decided against it and the main reasons were: 1. The lack of safety and crash test results. 2. The potential for poor re-sell value since so many people do not like the looks. And, 3. Any brand new model has the potential for bugs that will not be ironed out until it's been on the market a few years. I ordered a 2001 Subaru Forester last week.

Not to deviate from the Aztek topic too much, but what kind of Forester did you order? I love my 00' OB Ltd wagon. Wouldn't trade it for all the free Aztek's in the world! Have you visted the Subaru Crew site. There is a lot of info and cool people there, including a rep(Patti) from SOA and Darlene (the parts/accessories queen) from QSubaru out of Tennesee.
