  Sporty!!! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Delaware Hobbs - August 10 - 6:16 am

  I knew as soon as I saw this coming attraction that I would have to hold off purchasing a new minivan until it arrived. I bought a Montana in 98 and knew that I didnt want another minivan unless it was another Montana. I was not disappointed by the look and style - Its the only truly sporty minivan as far as Im concerned. I didnt plan on buying leather this time but I felt the cloth interior just looked too cheap. It seems to handle fine but even though the engine is 3.5 instead of 3.4, Im not convinced it performs better than my old one. There are little things I miss such as a light in the glove compartment, aux pwr outlet up front, dash space, reclining rear seats, see below

  The price is very affordable, the insurance is great also. Its great on gas. My children love it, my 3 year old gets in and out herself, the power slider door is wonderful when dropping off or picking up at school, no need to get out anymore. I love driving it.. it sure beats the suv I used to drive... so take it for a test drive... just make sure you get a sales persons thats right for you, and take the time and check out the dealership first.. ask around if anyone has dealt with that dealership. (I had a bad experience)

  Its been great... - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By P. Montana - April 23 - 2:56 am

  Our first close to new vehicle... it is perfect for all of our needs. I would like to have had it in an all wheel drive. It is very comfortable to drive. Our first preference would have been the Toyota Sienna, but this fit our budget better. Highly recommended.

  One year Follow up review..... - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By J.Briscoe - April 6 - 9:46 am

  This is a follow up to our SV6 purchase in July 2005. The car does not always start - dealer found no problem with this - still happening. Tires are worn after a year - seems you are to look inside the door and not read the tires for the correct pressure. The radio switches channels without catching all of the stations on its own. Brakes are worn and noisy. The air had to be recharged - was not keeping the inside cooled down.

  COULD HAVE USED MORE SOUND DAMPERING MATERIAL. POWER SEATS SHOULD BE STANDARD.

  Montana is a great minivan! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Andrea Obert - March 21 - 10:00 am

  We went on a 4 hour trip with our 3 children and everyone was comfortable and had their own space. I love all of the features available on my Montana including the XM Satelite radio. I think it is unique looking...it has a more sporty flair than all of the other vans on the market.

  Save your Money - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By unhappy buyer - February 15 - 7:13 pm

  I have had to alternators installed, both front stabilizer bars installed, power rear window bracket installed, does not have a lot of power to get onto the freeways. The air conditioning does not work all the time, it cuts in and out ( more out than in ) in traffic, better to open the windows. I have been a GM buyer for a long time but after this one I think I will change.

  Roomy, comfortable, problematic - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By unsolicitedadvice - January 7 - 5:56 pm

  Purchased 1 yr old with 25K miles. Put 20K on it during ownership. Tons of room, with a comfortable-for-adults, fold-flat third row. Fits 5 adult passengers with 2nd row bench seating and 6+ full-sized luggage pieces with third row folded. Much storage. Engine was powerful to begin with, but definitely had lost noticeable "punch" after one year. CD stereo radio sound was adequate but not great. Questionable build quality created worrisome driving @ 42K miles with a loud, metallic "clanking" sound when riding over bumps (dealer attempted to fix, but sound resurfaced within 5K); "ghost" power door that closed on command but opened by itself when parked; "chirping" noises when I turned right.

  Pontiac Montana - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Mike Gaines - December 29 - 7:30 pm

  The Montana is an excellent value. Our van was completely loaded and was purchased for thousands less than comparable vans. Reliabilty and quality have been very good, with no issues to date.

  This is crap from a lemon! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Mike - December 16 - 1:36 am

  We bought it with 50,000 km on it and in the first month the brakes had to be done and the heater fan went. Very uncomfortable if your over 6. Cloth seats stain badly, nice whistle sound at freeway speed, 20,000 km later brakes are gone again, tranny hesitates, slider doors dont close properly, center fold up consul was thrown out the first day, ext. trim falling off, electronics malfunctioning on a regular basis.
