  Cheap, but cheap - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By Cavea T. Emptor - June 17 - 7:40 am

  Im amazed by the generous reviews, but I guess buyers want to be happy. Shoppers should be more critical however, so beware. It has the usual hundred little fit and finish flaws that typify domestics, which should not come as a surprise. However, the ceiling is lower than previous models, and although Im only 6, I have to slouch to avoid hitting my head on the center console and outer pillar. Leg room for driver and front passenger is barely adequate. Same old silly under- the-hood wipers are impossible to clear without lifting the hood. At least they moved the grille off the hood assembly so you might not shatter it in cold weather. It runs, but you get what you pay for.

  2006 Montana - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By EJN - June 1 - 3:36 am

  Bought the vehicle out of state. The vehicle has been over all reliable in that no one has been stranded. Had trouble with the electric side door, the interior light control switch, rear wiper motor, not starting the first time with the ignition switch (software). Both sliding doors jammed on the bottom weather striping. Dissatisfied with the dealer and staff that services vehicles. They had to put the computer on the car (told them not to) and charge me to say the wiper motor is dead. My non mechanical wife told me that. Mad at my local dealer with the poor service and their technicians not following instructions. Have over 80,000 miles on the tires. Economy dropped with the alcohol gas.

  SV6 nightmare - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By dartguy43 - January 1 - 5:06 am

  When I bought this van back in 2006 I needed a family vehicle that I could also have the room to move a few musical instruments around in. This van does about 3 to 4 long highway drives a year (approximately 1000 km there and back). The rest of the time it just gets driven around the city. I have always done the regular maintanance on the vehicle at the dealership and still this thing has been nothing but problems. They have had a steering column recall,comes with crappy tires (good for about 25000 km at most,has had to have numerous brake jobs, a transmission flush at 78000 km,bushing arms replaced, rotors replaced etc. \

  Ugh! - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By kdsay - December 29 - 8:13 pm

  I was really excited to get my new minivan, with the DVD player and Dual sliding doors, but within 1 year after purchasing my 06 Pontiac Montana it has gradually fell apart, I have have to replace 2 sets of tire and tire rods and all brakes and other part having to do with the front tires, everytime I fix one thing something else false apart, the back windshield wiper just started going one day and would not turn off? The back blinker has went out several times and the front driver setbelt is broken and is going to cost over 200 to fix!! The seats are all ridiculously stained!I have had my van professionally cleaned several times and the stains will not come out! Even water!

  Texas in a Montana - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By tate - October 1 - 3:03 am

  Our SV6 has room for grandkids dogs, and all supplies needed for vacation or everyday driving! The DVD with wireless head phones is a must for trips with 5, 6, + 7 year olds.

  Montana SV6 has been great - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By BBRN - September 8 - 12:26 am

  We bought our van as a certified vehicle with 15,000 miles on it in 6-07. I travel extensively in my job in this van. Van now as of 2-09 has 81,000 miles on it. Only problem sensor for all wheel drive has gone out twice, first time the switch 2nd time the housing had to be replaced as well. warranty covered both times. This is a comfortable ride on the highway, goes great in snow. It will average from 18.5 to 19+ at 70 mph and I have gotten as as high as 22 mpg at 60 mph. However yes there could be more room between middle seats making getting to rear seats easier. The standard front console between front seats is a joke use aftermarket console. very satisfied with my SV6, like rugged look

  Water leaks - 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6
  By Rick D. - July 24 - 2:20 pm

  I purchased a 2006 SV6 AWD. It was a used lease van with 12,500 miles.The dealer prepped it for sale after purchase agreement. I have been a GM owner and mechanic for 30 years.I wanted the AWD version for safety in winter. It handles,brakes and has more comfort than the Astro AWD it replaced.The 3.5liter engine power per weight ratio is too low, but the 3.9 liter has too much torque for the AWD unit! The van had a major flaw that may have been unique to this one or a problem on the assembly line.It had a chronic water leak from the wheelwells and all the seams.The rug was always wet. The dealer had to completely strip out the interior and found multiple leaks from improper sealant at all seams
