  Excellent Quality vehicle! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Justin Case - December 23 - 7:36 pm

  Previous vehicle was a 96 Trans Sport with same 3.4 liter v-6. Got 260,000 miles out of that without any major mechanical problems, it paid for itself! This van is on the same path. Already, there is 32,100 on it and the only problem was a TSB for the throttle body. Didnt cause van to run poorly, it just made a whistling sound on light acceleration. Dealer fixed though under warranty, and thats it. Great comfort, very good acceleration, average fuel econ. (20 mpg. w/ mixed hwy./city driving), and great dependability. I would not be afraid to take this vehicle anywhere on a trip. I look forward to any years of "Driving Excitement" with this Pontiac!

  Great performance and mileage - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Montana Owner - December 6 - 12:03 pm

  Excellent acceleration beyond what the horsepower rating says. Maybe its due to the torque. Handling is great too. No problems with reliability or anything else. Mileage is super compared to the performance too. I got 26 mpg with 4 adult passengers with luggage on a long trip, and 27.5 mpg on a solo trip when I set cruise control at 60 mph.

  my montana - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By smith - November 22 - 4:23 pm

  We just purchased our montana with 29,000 miles. it is still under warranty but we also bought the full warranty just in case so we do not have out of pocket expenses down the road. We had a 12 screen dvd player installed for the kids as an after market feature. it is awesome. we love it so far. I did notice a whistling type sound coming from the windsheild when going over 50....anyone else had that?

  Early use, but promising! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Minivan Dad - February 13 - 8:06 am

  Having owned a 96 Voyager previously, we were VERY pleased with our Montana. The quality and materials are first rate and the build appears to be solid. We had to get the chrome wheels for $650 (pricey!)and werent allowed to exchange them for cheaper alloys due to the employee discount rules. The ride is butter smooth and the power adequate. With the employee discount, we feel that we received an excellent value for the money. A reccommended vehicle!

  2nd Montana - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Gary - February 10 - 10:53 pm

  When I saw the employee pricing, I decided to trade my 03 Montana for a 05, but I could not find one that I wanted. Looked at the SV6, thought about it and got a loaded one. 4 weeks later it was on the road for a 4 week vacation in NE. 3 bikes on top, rear seats down, loaded to the gills. What a joy. DVD and the ability to multitask the sound system was great. Satellite radio! Where was it when I was driving cross county in 1980. Seems to be a little less elbow room in the front, but the change in the interior of the doors makes up for it. Plenty of storage space, like the removable storage compartment. Good for putting things away when parking in the city.

  The happy family - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Becky - February 5 - 3:26 pm

  We traded in our Aztec for a nicely equipped Montana SV6 with 1SB package. The standard OnStar is not only a nice feature, but helped to lower my auto insurance because it is considered an anti-theft device. The optional rear parking assist, optional power sliding doors, and standard DVD player help to keep us all happy and our 18 month old content). While some might find the 200 horses lacking, I find it to be plenty after driving the 185 hp Aztec for 3 years. I miss the heads up display and fog lights from the Aztec, but otherwise am very happy with the purchase. The body styling is MUCH more appealing than the OLD Montana too.

  Better ride styling ,power ,engine. Not crazy about the 17"wheels.They do nothing but add cost to the van. Safety has been greatly improved.They deleted 8 passenger option.Very useful. Center seats do not fold as well as previous models

  By Francis E Walter - January 22 - 9:40 pm

  Comfortable riding, Drivers captains chair is adjustable (electrical), I am handicapped and entering and exiting from any seating area is excellent. Front and side air bags provides excellent safety with light to extremely fast opening depending on type accident. Excellent cargo space. interior lighting for front and rear passengers excellent. Rear heat and air plus headset jacks for passengers. Rear heat and air controled from the drivers area and the rear passenger area. Factory fog lighs excellent assistance in bad weather as well as just night driving. Rear windshield wiper and front wipers poor design for snow and ice area of residence. Freeze and hard to thaw. Controls on steering wheel.
