I test drove an Aztek when I was shopping for my car. I had to at least drive one before I dismissed it. Although they are ugly, and the interior and seats are terrible... I was actually surprised that it drives quite well and handles nicely for a "tall wagon" From a strictly practical point of view (I enjoy many outdoor pursuits). It handles far better than a GMC Envoy, or Chevy Trailblazer which I also tried. I
t was a good idea poorly executed. The tent is a neat idea, but where do you put your stuff if you're sleeping in the truck? I also doubt that the HVAC system could handle the extra demand of clearing out the moisture created by two people sleeping in the back!
I know the tailgate and liftgate hinges are good 'cause I designed them!
Once I compared it to the Aero wagon though... I have no regrets about paying twice the price for what I got.
A friend of mine has an Aztek for his outdoor pursuits, and a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (supercharged 3.8) as his fun car. Personally, for the same money I got both- a high performance and practical car which only takes up one parking space!
