  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.

  like it...but - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By traveler - November 28 - 10:00 am

  The general tires suck...34,000 miles and I already need new set. Rack & pinion is being replaced due to a leak also. Like the styling overall, but the uneven floor creates loading problems; everything slides or and tips forward.

  Could be better - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Soccer Dad - October 10 - 10:00 am

  We have had six warranty repairs. This entailed being without a car or waiting at the dealer to have it repaired. 1. Starter 2. Battery 3. Right front CV joint 4. Altenator repair 5. Pull down Strap replacement on rear hatch 6. Intake manifold gasket for oil leak. In addition to the warranty repairs we replaced the Dunlap tires, lasting only 22,000 miles due to one having a defect. Replaced brakes at 34,500 miles. Speakers vibrate.

  Montana - spacious and economical - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Jeff - August 23 - 9:56 am

  Ownership of the Montana has been a pleasure. The video system helped keep our two kids busy when we drove to Yellowstone and back to Pennsylvania and later to southern Florida and back, along with trips to Massachusetts and back in between. The system takes both vhs video tapes and video game inputs. On these long trips I found the gas milage was better than expected as the most recent trip to Florida gave me at least 27 to close to 30 mpg on the highway. The digital information system helps when put on instantaneous mpg, one learns what helps and what hurts as far as gas milage goes. The vehicle has given us no major engine problems, is good on tire wear and the exterior is still good.

  Montana rocks - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By Joe, Fort Wayne, IN - July 14 - 11:23 pm

  This 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.

  Mini Van Seats For The Birds - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Big Dog - December 29 - 10:00 am

  The interior seats seem cheap. They are small and poorly made. It appears to be material over cardboard. I have less than 30k miles on an 01 and it seems to be a rattlebox. I should have bought a custom van for big comfort and good ride. Long trips create arm and leg pain???? Something is not placed correctly. I am 511" my wife 52" same for both.

  Concern about the Plastic - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Pissed - December 18 - 5:20 pm

  My experience is more with the incredibly poor service I recieved from GM Canada. Basically I was accused of trying to claim on my extended warrenty for the cracking in the plastic between the useless storage container and the rear seat!
