  Family Loves It,Familyman Very Happy - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Familyman5 - February 18 - 2:00 am

  This van is a pleasure to own and drive.I went with the cloth interior this time,it is much more comfortable in varying tempatures(winter/summer) than the leather we had in last van.My three daugthers no longer scream too cold/hot.The eight passenger seating is ideal and so easily converted to different situations.The Versatrak AWD makes for safe secure handling in all weather,I wont purchase a vehicle without AWD agin.Pulls our 186" Crestliner sportfish boat with ease.

  Room for growing family - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By momof2 - December 14 - 2:00 am

  All and all a good van so far (21,000 miles). Need a few changes in the design. First the windsheild wipers suck. Snow and ice accumulate where they are suppose to go down under the hood. Second:the heating system for the second row of seats is not good. If your third row is folded and tipped the 2nd row doesnt get much heat. The dome light blinds the person driving when turned on. Rear wiper is great especially when you live on gravel, but they need to move the washer sprayer to the center of the window and make it an actual sprayer. Now it just runs out.

  By LITTLEPRINT - October 21 - 10:00 am

  IVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 2 YRS AND IT HAS 40,000 MILES.THE ONE IRRITATING FLAW IS THE FRONT WIPERS.EVERYTHING GETS CAUGHT UNDER THE WIPERS AND DOWN INTO THE HOOD.IN THE WINTER IVE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND CLEAR UNDER THE WIPERS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO WORK RIGHT,BUT I LOVE MY VAN.I WISH REAR A/C AND HEAT WAS STANDARD ON EXTENDED VERSION,BECAUSE THE PASSENGERS IN THE WAY BACK DONT GET AS COOL.KNOCK ON WOOD I HAVE HAD NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS EXCEPT THAT MY A/C WENT AND I NEED TO BRING THE VAN IN.GREAT VAN.WOULD BUY AGAIN.

  Never Again! - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By smkcmorse - October 2 - 10:00 am

  After having a bad experience with a Pontiac Sunfire, I purchased a 2002 Montana. I will never again buy another Pontiac. It starts very sluggish will frequent stalling at ignition, dealer said nothing was wrong. The windshield wipers were not designed for a snowy climate, and are awful to deal with during our long winter. The rear seatbelts are poor fitting and very uncomfortable. The tether bracket of the Lower Achor and Tether for CHildren is partially covered by the seats upholsetry and very difficult to use. The list goes on and on...........

  Great family minivan - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Steve from Philly - September 12 - 6:00 am

  The extended model is the way to go for larger families - plenty of cargo space. After 5 months and several ski trips we are still very pleased with this car. The GM Buypower purchasing experience was great - all the dickering by email, came in to sign the papers and the deal was EXACTLY as represented. No typical car dealer bull****. Try that with Hondas "You can test drive it if you buy it first" approach.

  Minivan Madness - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Cheryl - June 17 - 9:40 am

  I have owned this vehicle for 2 years and had the head gasket go at 39,000 miles. Heat always feels like its on when its not. Backlit sometimes stays off. Headlights dim slightly on and off when driving at times. Would not recommend this van to anyone, I would not buy one again. Beware before you buy. Rattles a lot when driving and bad over bumps.

  I like the van okay but we keep having problems with the electric door not opening correctly over the past 18 months. We have had air conditiong problems and replaced the brakes and wheel cylinders already. This van has been in the shop many times since our purchase over aggrivating things, am I ever glad we bought an extended warranty.

  One of the worst cars Ive owned - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By HalS - November 30 - 5:50 am

  Where do I start. It leaks: windshield, side windows, headlights are full of water. Tail-lights keep blowing, Im told its the electrical system. Windshield wipers stop in the up position. Air-conditioning stopped working. exterior trim has fallen off. Auto-side mirrors dont work. Im the only owner of this car and my kids say I drive like an old lady and I do a mix of highway and suburban driving - so I dont think its me. Ive kept up with regular maintenance but the cost of fixing this stuff again and again is becoming quite a burden

  I drive a lot... - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Rolling Rock - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Seems to be buggy. The dealer cant figure out whats wrong. Horn honks periodicaly on its own, Car battery is dead, once jumped its fine. The interior is poor quality. Didnt offer leather in 8 seating option. Pontiac exterior is black, interior is gray and is too light in color to keep clean. They should offer charcoal interior.

  Fun ride for kids=Relaxing drive for us! - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By KGeysbeek - August 12 - 10:00 am

  We got the Thunder package along with all the bells an whistles. I didnt intend to spend quite as much as we did but 0% interest allowed us to get everything we wanted. The seats are comfortable except the arm rest could be wider. The kids love the DVD player and they no longer feel "stuck" in their car seats for the trip to grandmas. The ride is very smooth but we were driving a Blazer so the change is more noticable. Almost bought a MPV but the seats were not as comfortable and we thought the extra space in the Montana could come in handy in certain situations. I think we will keep this van for a long time.
