Our family bought an Aztek. It was honestly one of my favorite vehicles that we ever owned. Yes, the exterior, which is all this article manages to focus on, was goofy as all hell.
On the other hand, the interior design size and the overall utility of the vehicle in it's medium sized package was amazing. You could fit tons of cargo in there or throw an air mattress in the back and go tailgate camping very comfortably. It handled less than average in the dirt, but with good winter tires, it was more than capable of dealing with northern Minnesota winters.
We drove that car until it died. I still miss it sometimes. Who cares how the tailgate looked?

- genocidicbunny 3y agoI wouldn't even say that the exterior was all that goofy relative to modern crossovers. Many of them are more refined but still plenty goofy. Incidentally, one of the excuses I hear about accepting the panel gaps on Tesla cars is "who cares, it's on the outside of the car and I don't have to look at it". One can make a similar argument here -- who cares if its odd looking on the outside if it's actually an ingenious car to use and operate.
- hypercube33 3y agoI'd argue the Saturn Vue was it's better looking cousin and man that car was amazing. Not much to rust on it and had all the perks of the Aztec plus some.
