It looks good! As good as an Aztek can look, that's for sure.

In all seriousness though, I rather like them. They were ahead of their time both as a crossover vehicle and also because such controversial styling is much more accepted now.

Ya they never really were the best looking of vehicles that's for sure! Its got just under 170xxx on it with a new battery, starter, alternator, and power steering pump. Pretty decent 3400 SFI under the hood too with a soft pedal that gives it one hellva get up an go lol. Gets right round 350 miles per tank too. One things she does not like at all is it as NO cruise control! Told her to pay attention to her lead a little more and it wont be a problem :)

The "car" looks very close to new. Weather or not you like it's looks, it's dependable transportation, and that's what really counts. It is helpful if you like the way it looks, but not necessary. In the right conditon and right price, I would own one. - BC

only rust i was able to find was close to the tailpipe otherwise it's spotless. $4400 with new tiers as well and we just couldn's say no. and since we had been back down to one car at that point it was pretty much a no brainer. I have only driven it twice for about 100 miles total and only riden in it three other times in the six months shes been driving it. Only cosmetic thing shes still not overly thrilled about is the white bar in the middle on the back hatch, otherwise she love it lol. It was either the Aztek or an old beat up 2000 Impala for just under 3k. She was ready to get it but after teh test drive i told her we should keep looking....low and behold the next stop.....and shes still complaining of no CC lol.

Get some Bonne or Grand Prix wheels and it'll look like a higher trim level.

I've said before that those that have had Azteks seemed to have taken care of them and this one is no exception.

Surprisingly it runs the same tiers as both the bonnie and the GP! makes it nice when it comes times for new tires lol we always remember what ones and know how much it will cost. I haven't taken a look behind them yet but the "spokes" on it are just a thin plastic covering that comes off when you take the nuts out. Just going to have to take a look and see what it looks like with out em!.

I bought my wife a 2004 Aztek Rallye five years ago, and she simply loves it. I've always been a fan of this vehicle and it has been a winner for us. Its been relatively trouble-free, still gets decent fuel mileage even when hauling loads, and is hands down one of the most versatile vehicles I've ever owned. We have removed the seats and hauled cargo more times than I can count and it quite simply has been a great car!

I wish you all the best with yours.
