  Indifferent - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Bryan Wisconsin - November 19 - 10:00 am

  First of all, we like it because of the distinctive styling. Everyone we know has a Caravan and we wanted to be different. The Caravans were nice and truly Chrysler did "think of everything". However, the power of the Montana is much better. Highway speeds are very manageable and comfortable. My biggest problem is the workmanship. Sunglass Holder, Cig Lighter compartment, etc. Also, tires have 37K miles and they need to be replaced. They are cupped. Ill be happy when I have new ones. It has been in the shop several times. Thank goodness that Gustman in Kaukauna is such a good dealer.

  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!

  It is what it is - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By enduran - September 24 - 10:00 am

  Has been a decent vehicle for our family. My Grandmother owned one that was plowed into a tree at about 30+ mph and I liked how the vehicle withstood the crash so we bought one. My wife loves it and I have had to make quite a few repairs lately because she doesnt want to let it go. If your Montana is overheating, without getting oil in your antifreeze, and antifeeze is being pushed out of your holding tank its the head gasket. I learned that the hard/expensive way. Currently has 151,000 miles hope it gives me plenty more.

  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.

  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).

  Little flaws that drive me crazy! - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Minivan Mom - May 24 - 10:00 am

  We take our Montana back to the dealership to fix something once every two months. Ive had old junkers that have needed less service! In the first year, it was recalled 5 times - twice for the automatic door, twice for the rear seatbelt and once for the GPS. The little things drive me crazy - broken drink holder,burnt out light in the radio, airbag light that keeps coming on, oil change indicator that wont turn off, module for headsets that comes completely out of the counsel when you remove the headset, broken strap for the rear hatch etc. Ive always owned Toyotas and I think Ill go back after this vehicle.

  160,000 miles traded - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By 160,000 MIles Traded - October 31 - 12:33 pm

  Well we got over 160,000 miles out of the van. For the most part it has been fairly reliable, but it has many major design flaws that result in failures that you will have to fix (valve seal gaskets - $800 to $1,000; Front wheel bearings - $600; Transmission - $1500 TO $2000). The radio lights and gas gauge have not worked for years. We got $1250 for a trade-in, so if you buy one, you should plan on driving it into the ground.
