Fastest, best-riding truck I ever owned.

Towing in the hot summer, trans temp would climb some due to front bumper cover blocking airflow to the trans cooler.

Excellent MPG from the 6.2.

Typical GM switchgear issues; crappy power door locks, peeling leather trim on console, but overall a good vehicle.

Why do pickup truck drivers either drive way too fast or way too slow; tailgate; speed up behind you like they’re going to hit you, slow down, and do that repeatedly?

In later years they made the painted trim used on the Escalade EXT available as on option on the Avi.



Honestly, if I ever saw one of those I wouldn't have given it a second look and probably thought it was an Escalade.

I always thought that pair made so much more sense for a big chunk of the P/U driving community. Like I think the Ridgeline is a perfect vehicle for many truck owners from a purely utilitarian POV.

The Aztek was ahead of its time, and if it came out today nobody would bat an eye at its design.

I can't argue with that at all. I suspect it wouldn't have been near as maligned in 2001 if it hadn't come with all that lower body cladding. I had the same complaint with the lower trim Honda Elements.

ETA I forgot to mention one of the weirdest and/or coolest parts of the Aztek the center console was also a cooler, one that had a handle and you could take with you.

Honda’s are the most well-designed vehicles on the market. They are ergonomically solid all around and are incredibly easy to work on in comparison to other vehicles, even Toyota’s.

Downvote away.

While I assume you mean comparable modern cars I have to say I have yet to encounter a vehicle with a transverse mounted engine that I would be particularly eager to get under the hood. I would rather do most work on a BMW I-6 than a transverse V6 Honda or Toyota.

I changed the coils on plug on a Lexus ES V6 and the odd-numbered cylinders took me about 10 minutes for all three but the evens (facing the firewall) took me half the day since the intake manifold had to be removed and even then changing the plugs would have been a nightmare.

I'm only downvoting because you don't understand how the possessive apostrophe works.

Oh, how times have changed. Consumer Reports has BMW as the 8th most reliable brand now and Acura at 13th and Honda at 15th. Perception lags behind reality.

Lexus vehicles, while reliable, are incredibly boring vehicles.

When i’m driving, i enjoy feeling the road, and having some responsiveness.. i also like manual transmissions, and Jeeps.. with Lexus, it’s like they wanted you to feel nothing, hear nothing and sense nothing. While i’m sure that’s fine for some people (my wife’s car is a Lexus), if i were going to drive a luxury car, it’s be something a little more driver-oriented like a BMW.. i just dont unestand why anyone would pay a premium for a zero-excitement, zero-fun car like (most) Lexuses.

Porche used to be my favorite car.. Anyway, no matter what I am not a fan of convertibles so I am not a big fan of this car.

Certainly, you understand it, you just don't agree with it.
