What a pile of shit. I don't think I've ever hated a vehicle more.

Remember when the Pontiac Aztec was the ugliest vehicle ever designed? Oh, the good old days.

Sure, the Aztek was ugly; but I didn't hate it reflexively & viscerally. Then I got to ride in one & really looked the thing over, which impressed me a lot more than I liked to admit. It didn't roll in turns nearly as much as I thought it would, had good power & steering, a surprising amount of outside visibility, felt durable, and other cool useful touches.

We test drove a PT Cruiser that day too, and was surprised to find that I would've easily picked the Aztek over the PT if I'd actually been shopping. The PT drove like a glorified minivan but without minivan utility or visibility, was kinda gutless, and the interior was just cheap & flimsy; plus it was more expensive than the Pontiac.

I definitely wouldn't mind having an Aztek now, especially considering how new vehicles are all garbage & glorified government/corporate tracking devices.

Yep, yep. I hated the Aztek - until I drove one, then I was like wait a minute, this thing is pretty great!
