  Standard GM quality - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By justducky150 - May 28 - 9:50 pm

  This 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.

  Liking Montana - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By clarkb - May 13 - 4:10 am

  I am pretty happy with this van. The DVD package is great. It drives reasonably well. It has good low-end torque, and moves away well from a stop light. It could use more passing power. Fuel Economy is a bit poor, but few minivans are much better. The SV6 has addressed much of this. After driving several vans, incl. the Odessy, Sienna, Freestar, and Town and Country, it is more responsive and refined than the other American entries. Unfortunately, it is worlds behind the Sienna and Odessy. With rebates, it was also $10K less, which more than compensates.

  First Purchase of GMC Vehicle - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By bridjon - December 27 - 9:36 pm

  This vehicle gives a very comfortable ride, unfortunately the interior display is awful, dials are difficult to read. We have had no mechanical problems in 18 months and she starts first time every time (whatever the weather). The paint finish has chipped in a couple of places (without any rough treatment on our part!)we never had this problem with our previous van (Mitshbishi). We are very happy overall and accept that every vehicle has a drawback of some sort, those on the Montana are easy to live with as they have nothing to with reliability and that for us is number one.

  A proud owner - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By rub1 - December 10 - 10:06 am

  Bought this van in 2005. I have the one built in Canada. I use this car on a daily basis and drive it 5 hours a week on the highway. I have not had any major issues with this fantastic vehicle. Issues in 5 years: replaced tires 4 times in 8 years the engine icon lights turns on occasionally, but after check up everything is alright. Sometimes the front a/c vent stops working for a couple of minutes and automatically starts again. I had never owned vehicle for this many years. I am a satisfied customer.

  in need of more info - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By would like more info - October 3 - 2:00 am

  we bought this 8 passenger van used, we have found out it was a lease vehicle. Before our first months payment was due the vehicle was in the garage because the abs and trac cont service lights were on this was taken care of because we purchased the extended warranty-good thing. Then our next month it was back in because we could get no heat. I really love this van because of the space it provides but am curious as to the potential for further repairs when our service contract runs out. We now have a loud vibrating howl by the windshield.

  Great Van - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Montana Fan - September 4 - 10:00 am

  With 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 am

  I 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.

  4th Pontiac MiniVan - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By EEEVan - July 28 - 2:00 am

  This is my 4th Pontiac Mini Van. My first was bought in 1990. Pontaic has continued to remove feature from previous years vechicle model. There are no longer pouches on the back of the front seats for storage and no storage compartment below the front passenger seat. The adjustor for tilt in the front seats is now a lever vs. the more user friendly knob adjuster. Dealership unaware of the fact that Anit-lock brakes are no longer a standard feature with the vechicle.

  Great van - 2004 Pontiac Montana
  By apd124 - May 30 - 10:00 am

  This is my second Montana. It is a 2003 currently. Our previous Montana was a 1999 with the same problems as usualy reported (blown head gaskets, manifold gaskets). This was due to Pontiac using the new long life coolent and paper gaskets which the long life coolent rapidly deteriorates. All was replaced under warranty with no problems and the van drove great throughout. They have apparently fixed this problem on the newer years which is great.

  Id buy it all over again! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By ddoiron - March 11 - 10:00 am

  98,000 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.
