Used 2004 Pontiac Aztek
Buying Guide for the Pontiac Aztek:
The model that invented the
sport recreation vehicle category is back, and it loses none
of its adventurous ways. Simply hearing the segment the Aztek
is part of gives you a hint as to its intentions.
The Aztek is versatile: it
lets you go camping in the back country, splash through mud
and grime and then, after a quick wash-up, take you downtown.
It has a unique design whose functional result is increased
cargo capacity. Good for families or active twenty/thirty/forty-year
olds, the Aztek certainly doesn’t discriminate among potential
customers.
For 2004, the Pontiac Aztek
has a new CD/MP3 player, new interior fabrics, new colors
and more. In addition, the Rally Edition, first offered in
late 2003, also returns for a little bit of heart-pumping
fun.
Under the Hood
The engine
Buying Guide for the by the Aztek
has to be versatile, and it is. A 3.4-liter V6, it cranks
out 185 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 210 lb-ft of torque at
4000 rpm. 4-speed automatic transmission is standard.
The Aztek continues to be
offered as a front-wheel drive vehicle or an all-wheel drive
vehicle. All-wheel drive models employ the Versatrak system,
which directs torque to the rear wheels with the best traction.
It will do this even with just one wheel, if necessary, something
most of the competition can’t say.
The Aztek is known for its
tight handling and control. Its suspension system breaks down
like this: up front, Aztek has MacPherson struts fitted with
four-stage shock absorber valving. In back, AWD Aztek models
use a short-and-long-arm independent suspension designed and
engineered specifically for the application.
Standard Features, Options
Packages and Style
Azteks are offered in a base
trim, though there are two options groups available: 1SB and
1SC. With the latter, a tire-pressure monitor, the OnStar
system, upgraded upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel
with radio controls, a trip computer and a driver information
center are included.
The Rally Edition is a unique
Aztek model. It comes in Fusion Orange, Black or Silver Metallic
paints and features a lowered front suspension, 17-inch aluminum
wheels, a chrome-plated exhaust tip, a front grille that matches
the body color, exterior Rally badges, a cargo-area speaker
system with separate radio controls, a power driver's seat
and Rally-embroidered front floor mats. The special package
also comes available with Rally-embroidered leather-appointed
seats.
