Pontiac Aztek looks like a film reel caught in the projector: it begs for attention. Like the Gremlin and Yugo before it, Aztek will be remembered by most people for its looks or as some say, lack of looks. But whats beyond the styling? Dubbed a sport recreation vehicle, Azteks gear extends beyond the interior boundaries. Standard on the GT model is a portable console/cooler that latches in place between the front seats. Just grab the console/cooler for an out-of-vehicle snack. Akin to having an already-packed suitcase, the front door trims on the GT models have carry anywhere utility packs. Another neat feature is the tailgates side-by-side molded-in seat bottoms and cupholders. One other seating note: rear seats are removable.
Aztek receives its power from a 3.4-liter, 185 horsepower V6 engine mated to a four speed electronically controlled transmission. Theres a secondary gauge system via the head-up display (HUD). Aztek is the first General Motors vehicle with the latest version of HUD, where virtual images such as vehicle speed are projected onto the windshield. In stark contrast, Azteks sloping back arches give the vehicle too many blind spots. On the economy side, Aztek gets mileage estimates of 18 city/25 highway. Aztek is sold in front wheel drive and all wheel drive versions. MSRP of the four-door, all wheel drive Aztek GT model is $26,915.
