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

LOVE THIS VAN - 2002 Pontiac Montana
By LITTLEPRINT - October 21 - 10:00 amIVE 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.

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

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

? on transfer case & transmission - 2002 Pontiac Montana
By Brenda Shumate - July 8 - 2:00 amNew Car-heard a faint hum in engine when accelerating after having the van for 7 months,dealership found no reason for it. Within 1 year of owning the van, something broke in the transfer case which affected the transmission (could have been the hum we were hearing) Dealership replaced both. 7 months later, the same thing happened while driving, a popin engine area, then noise when leaving off the accelerator of some-thing broken in the transfer case. We currently are waiting for GM to replace the transfer case and transmission a second time.

Satisfied but could be better - 2002 Pontiac Montana
By BigDogDad - December 24 - 2:00 amPleased with the features,space,seating&comfort. Engine is just NOT powerful enough for the size of this van. Sluggish on accleration& VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. Rear a/c roars like a beast. Exterior paint job has flaws from factory(not a quality paint job) & front wiper system is just awful, because snow & ice accumulate but have nowhere to go, causing the wipers to freeze up in inclement weather. But overall despite the flaws, we are pleased that it offers enough space for our family, friends and gear, and has a comfortable ride.

Pontiac Montana - 2002 Pontiac Montana
By Jim McCarty - May 28 - 3:20 amThe only real complaint I have is wind noise around the sliding doors. It is so loud carring on a conversation is difficult. Is there a way to tighten the sliding doors so they close tighter?

Montana rocks - 2002 Pontiac Montana
By Joe, Fort Wayne, IN - July 14 - 11:23 pmThis is an affordable, comfortable van that fits a growing family well. The fuel economy needs some work, but otherwise it is a solid, effective vehicle.

Family Van - 2002 Pontiac Montana
By Upriver - October 24 - 12:53 pmI have owned a Montana for 4 years . it had 112000 klm on it. Now has 141000. All around great vehicle but it has had rear end troubles at a cost of $16000. thankfully under warranty. Now the rear end has gone again. Should it diengage the awd when cornering, Dont know. But they will spend another $ 11000 to fix it under warranty. It runs good just makes a howling noise when turning. I would buy one again.
