  2005 Montana SV6 - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By dlink - June 16 - 10:10 pm

  Purchased new at dealer in Fall 2004. Bad electricals from the start (flickering head lights & dash lights) as well as annoying wind noise at 60 mph+. Dealer has no clue as to fixes. Electrical wiring short occurred at 3.5 years and 106,000 miles involving main electrical circuit. Dealer charges $2,500 to fix!! This has not been a good vehicle given the fact that the van is worth about $6,000. GM deserves what they get in the world of cars; they are losing market share for a reason. Others make better cares and treat their customers slightly better! I will never buy from this dealer or GM again!

  Best Van Ive Ever Had. - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By Desert1540 - June 10 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Pontiac Montana, a 2004, and I love everything about it. Ive had almost every kind of US built vans in my life and this it by far the most reliable, comfortable and fun to drive. Better then any Ive had before and I even love the way it looks, unlike some of the other ugly vans on the road these days. Its got all the goodies that I love, even a DVD player... Its great... I wouldnt have any other mani van in my garage.

  Montana 99 - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Wendy Kihl - May 27 - 10:00 am

  Weve been so pleased with our Montana we are considering a 2003. We have driven Plymouth and GMC and this has been our favorite so far. The ride and gas mileage are terrific. There have been no major repairs in 4+ years. The overhead console, power seat, steering wheel controls, front and rear air, to name a few, have all been excellent options. The only down side to the vehilce is that is doesnt seem to retain much of a trade in value, which is disappointing.

  Solid minivan - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Chris Bartels - May 22 - 2:50 pm

  We leased this SUV/minivan in June 2005. It is a great family road trip car with plenty of pick-up to pass on the highway. We are getting another vehicle as the use of space is not good for our family. With three kids, half the third row has to be up and this decreases storage. We get 18 MPG overall

  not as happy as I thought - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By momsryde - May 20 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned my Montana for 2 years - bought it as a pre-owned (rental) w/28K on it. I have mixed feelings on the van. Have had a few service trips for minor inconveniences. Never knew about the LONG list of recalls and problems until I searched online. Wind noise is terrible. Drivers side sliding door has had problems. My cheap rear hatch handle fell off b/4 40k miles, proof that duck tape doesnt cure all. Definitely the best looking "mom- mobile" out there, but not the best quality.

  Major Gremlins - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Demers Family - May 5 - 11:26 am

  We loved the gas mileage this van got, and the space and comfort was superb, as was the interior configuration. However since we bought it used it had no manufacture warranty, nor dealer warranty. The summer of 2004 the a/c went out, we spent $700 on trying to get it fixed, they thought they fixed it, it died again the next day. Then the bearings went out, and both sets of brakes as well as all the shocks and struts. We only put 25,000 miles on it when we owned it. We put $1000 into it, not counting the a/c and it still needed $1800 worth of work, and two car shops later the a/c problem still could NOT be solved! We traded it for an SUV, it is a sad loss we loved our van greatly.

  Still room to improve - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By mopar1 - April 19 - 2:00 am

  This van has been great mechanically, but both the heated seats had to be replaced within the first year. The drivers seat quit working again at 45,000 miles. Will cost to much to fix. The General XP2000 self sealing tires rode a little rough and didnt wear very well. My Caprice with a 305 V-8 got the same mpg as the van. Cheap pull handle on rear hatch broke at 40,000.

  montana - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By mrsmac - April 12 - 9:36 pm

  I like the van okay but we keep having problems with the electric door not opening correctly over the past 18 months. We have had air conditiong problems and replaced the brakes and wheel cylinders already. This van has been in the shop many times since our purchase over aggrivating things, am I ever glad we bought an extended warranty.
