My parents own a Pontiac Aztek and I have yet to see them bring it to the shop for repairs... It may depend on what your switching from because the one downside my parents faced was that they had a car that was excellent on gas and the Aztek isn't AS good as the car they had before. They don't complain about it anymore. I guess the difference wasn't THAT bad... BELOW are some cars for sale(You may have to update your zip code so you can find one nearest you), some reviews, and a fuel economy review. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
