  So far-so good - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Shangshang - December 3 - 10:00 am

  This is the first review of our (new to us) 1999 Pontiac Montana. We have a huge extended family and a total of 5 so far in ours. We are a softball/ baseball family as well and travel to tournaments. I will report our findings both good and bad as this seems to be a very solid van. By the way I am 62" @ 235lbs and I FIT IN THIS VAN! Woo-hoo..

  Waiting for the hammer to drop - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Chris - November 20 - 5:23 am

  This was the worst vehicle I owned in well over 28 years, we (husband and I owned 5 GM in those years). We bought this as a buy back in 03, bought the platinum warranty, thank God. The problems started within a month, ignition wiring, spark plugs seized in place and cracked, fuel problems, torque converter problems, head gasket problems, rusted through and through on the roof with a big gaping hole in 04, window stopped working, ac clutch assy, flush injectors, valve body and pressure solenoid in transmission, throttle body, electrical problems that prevented starts or constant running, reconditioned heads, intake and plenum, t-stat, drive seal for the coolant leak in engine. 1st year

  So far so good - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By larryrbenson - November 19 - 3:50 pm

  I picked this minivan up at an auction a week ago and so far I need to get some front end work done (shocks or struts, it drives well but with the FWD and weight in the front it rides hard and you can feel most the bumps). There are a few issues, Gas Gauge is not working properly, Passenger side sliding door motor does not work, you can hear it click but never engages. Other than that.. Its roomy, engine and transmission still feel very strong and smooth at 187K miles and overall I am very happy with the purchase. Ill update this once I get my front end looked at and find out what the cost of getting the ride a bit smoother is and if any new bugs pop up but so far, good buy!

  Great Van! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By CabForward - November 1 - 2:00 am

  Bought new in March 2000 - now at 44000 miles. We had to buy a minivan when the family grew from 4 to 6 in one shot. A minivan was not our favorite type of vehicle, but the Pontiac has completely won us over. It drives & handles like a car and has plenty of power. The city mpg is a bit low at about 17, but freeway exceeds 25.

  Awesome - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By pinks_2013 - October 30 - 12:47 pm

  The best used car.. We bought this car used with 90k+ miles on it. Now it is 140k++. And its still running fine, without any issues. Just oil changes and brakepad changes. Very stable car and great pickup. Hwy MPG can go as high as 27-28, better than any sedan of the same time frame. Excellent car.

  Not bad for a van - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Montana - October 24 - 9:16 pm

  Not a bad van. Its good on fuel, change oil every 5000 or so, and a tuneup 120,000 km runs great. I drive this 4 hour round trip. The inside is good to lots space for what I need it for and the kids like for the dvd part.
