  Intake Manifold Stinks - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Bummer2 - March 13 - 11:10 am

  Im seeing a repeat of complaints having to do with the intake manifold. Guess what, mine is shot too. DONT BUY GM ANYTHING. We will eventually be buying a Honda Odyssey.

  Bought Ours New in 2000 - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Airhippo - February 26 - 8:40 pm

  We purchased this van new in November 2000 right before the 2001 hit the market. This Van has been an awesome mode of transportation. We still have it and our Teenage Daughter loves driving it to hall her friends. We had some minor AC issues at 75,00 K and had to have the head gaskets and heads redone at 120,00 Wife drove it and it got hot. That cost around 2,000. But other than that this has been a vehicle well worth the drive. We still have it so that says all. around in.

  Pontiac Montana is Family Friendly - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By wilmoth - February 8 - 10:00 am

  We have previously owned Chevy Astros and we test drove several minivans. The Montana is by far my favorite!! The Montana gives you a classy, family friendly vehicle. About 2 months after we purchased this vehicle we were rear- ended at a stop light. The Montana absorbed the impact so well no one was hurt or suffered any pain. We had three children in car seats and a friend of mine was with me and she was 8 1/2 months pregnant!! She bought her a Montana 2 weeks later!!

  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.

  One of the worst cars Ive owned - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By HalS - November 30 - 5:50 am

  Where do I start. It leaks: windshield, side windows, headlights are full of water. Tail-lights keep blowing, Im told its the electrical system. Windshield wipers stop in the up position. Air-conditioning stopped working. exterior trim has fallen off. Auto-side mirrors dont work. Im the only owner of this car and my kids say I drive like an old lady and I do a mix of highway and suburban driving - so I dont think its me. Ive kept up with regular maintenance but the cost of fixing this stuff again and again is becoming quite a burden

  oh that intake manifold leak - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By atpIOWA - November 26 - 7:43 pm

  First 70,000 miles were heaven, the most favorite vehicle we have owned. Great to drive, wonderfully comfortable on long trips with kids and dogs, dependable. Did have one event with the brakes not working one night but nobody ever found anything wrong, we may have boiled the fluid by having the parking brake on, which is easy to do on this van. First major problems were the seat belt-airbag interlock going (very expensive), then the manifold leak that caused loss of heat in the winter-$500, now the wiring harness is corroded and they want to replace it and the airbag! My wife, an original Mini driver, still loves driving it, but with the kids almost grown, it may be time to move it on.

  Its A great Van! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Gandolf - November 21 - 1:56 pm

  I shopped around for a few months looking for a van and this was the best layout and design for our family that i found. The options were exactly what we needed and the fit and finish were excellent. The van is quiet and a lot of fun to drive. The braking is noticably better than other vans.

  Turned out better than I thought - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Need4seats - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Overall, a good van. Beware of reviews with one major problem with van. Any vehicle line can have a bad car or two. Had some minor annoying trips to mechanic for recalls, etc, but overall at 62000 miles, it is working great. Acceleration is better than any other minivan Ive used. Features are great. Only 8 seat minivan available at time I purchased (I need the seats).
