Money hungry Montana - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By F. Mauritz - November 22 - 2:00 amMy Montana has been a big disappointment. The electronics that drive the transmission shift mechanism were a constant problem during the first year. The electronic "brain" made some very hard shifts on a couple of occasions before a new circuit board was put in. The transmission shelled out just after the warranty ran out and I suspect the hard shifts contributed to the breakdown. It has spent a lot of time in the shop for minor fixes that stem from poor factory workmanship. This is my last Montana and probably by last Pontiac.

2000 Montana - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By Mongoose69 - September 9 - 10:00 amOther than going through a spell where we had a number of nagging problems around 35000 miles this has been a great van. More cargo space than any of the others. We plan to replace this van with another Montana in the next few years. My wife has just fallen in love with it. We have driven the Toyota and the Ford and the Chrysler/Dodge ones and she has concluded that none of them are as good as her Montana.

Standard GM quality - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By justducky150 - May 28 - 9:50 pmThis has been a wonderful family vehicle. We bought with 29K in 2002 for $18M. Fully loaded w/o DVD and 100K/6yr warranty for $2K, great value by the way, after all its a GM. Standard accoutrements are excellent. The leather, rear air/rear sound, automatic sliding door, quad seating are all you can ask for unless you appreciate listless children drooling over the most recent Disney DVD. We love this vehicle and wish GM wasnt leaving the utilitarian minivan market. Crossovers dont offer the room and the Suburban is too big. Were going foriegn due to GMs shortsightedness and lack of caring for the family utility vehicle...the mini-van. God rest its soul. Marketing sure led to its demise.

Great Van - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By Montana Fan - September 4 - 10:00 amWith over 100,000 miles, I have had remarkably few problems with the van, about the same as my Toyota van. Engine and transmission have been very reliable. I average 24 mpg! I dislike the cupholder arrangement (not practical), but love the variety of seating arrangements and the ease of reconfiguring. It ez to drive and park (the Honda Accord is longer) and very comfortable on long trips.

Montana M2K - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By ams - July 28 - 2:00 amI purchased my Montana new in 2000. It is feature rich, and definitely the best looking van on the market. Not bad power for a van. Interior quality is fair, lots of plastic. Cupholders are useless, rear hatch handle broke off at 20,000 miles, Power side door sensors are intermittant (door ajar message is displayed frequently), electronic overhead display problems, fuel gauge becomes erratic at 1/4 full, and now I need intake manifold gaskets ($750). Too many negatives for me to buy another one of these vehicles.

Id buy it all over again! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By ddoiron - March 11 - 10:00 am98,000 miles and still loving this van. Drives great, good visibility, captains chairs in middle row are wonderful for kids on road trips. Seats are light enough for easy removal and fits 4x8 sheet of plywood.

Every car bought has a story to tell - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By Brett - October 21 - 8:56 pmI bought this van used, it already had sixty thousand miles on it. Myself have put over another one hundred thousand miles. Its been the best vehicle Ive ever owned. The car history report was clean when I bought it, still is today. No lie, the van runs like its new still to this day. However there is some minor issues that I think are small. The gas needle reads full all the time, It leeks dexacool, very small amount. My light comes on maybe once a month. I had to replace a fog light, and a head light. Thats it, I live up in the mountains of western Maryland and my van will fly up these hills like there nothing. Then again it should with a 3.4L V6!

Best vehicle Ive had so far! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By vipergtsdrivr - June 17 - 12:23 pmIve had a short version of Montana for 5 years now. The van has 380,000km on it and it still runs. I only had to deal with minor problems. Just do your regular maintenance on this car and it will serve you well. So far this van has lived in Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver. Im upgrading to 2003 Pontiac Montana Thunder as it has many improvements over the previous models. AWD and independent suspension are just two of the many features. If you are looking for a good, reliable and enjoyable vehicle to own, look no further; there simply is no better option given their cost.

Another customer GM Has lost!!!! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By Wallman - May 22 - 2:00 amI Have owned over 40 cars, & have always had a least one GM product for the last 27 years(mostly pontaics). The build quality & responce from GM on this vechile has led me to never buy another GM product!!!Intake manifold leaks, Poor transmission, Brake problems, power door problems, etc. & very lousy service and responce. I Contacted Pontaic and they do not know how to treat customers. They will continue to lose market share until they make better cars.

Ready to trade - 2000 Pontiac Montana
By rooster - May 14 - 10:00 amWe have had it in the shop five times since we bought it. Twice for the van not starting (both times had to have it towed), twice for power sliding door problems (recall opener, then a short in wiring), once for shorted coolent sensor. If not for the reliability problems, we like the van.
