  2001 Pontiac Montana - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By jwhub88 - April 20 - 6:20 am

  We love this van. The seats are very comfortable, and the folding 3rd seat is a must. Traction control and ABS help in the winters of northern Michigan. The sporty exteroir disign is a plus. Love the interior. Has held up well to the kids. Power is good not great. I pull a camper all summer easily. Would like engine and trans. to be more reliable. Lower intake gaskets and head gaskets are a cronic problem. Also the trans. will go bad on 99% of these vans. Also love the red interior dash lighting. Bought van with 75,000 now have 130,000. Rebuilt trans. around 115,000. Otherwise routine maintenance. Runs great, rides great, drives great

  Time for another vehicle - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Darla - August 23 - 10:00 am

  I bought my mini-van in 2006, and it had 95,000 miles on it. For the first two years, it did great. I took it on vacations with no problems whatsoever. And the best part was that there was plenty of room for everyone. In 2008, I had to replace the head gasket and intake gaskets. It had been overheating. Thats been the biggest expense. Recently, at 165,000 miles Ive noticed that if I turn the AC on for long periods of time when driving, it tends to run hot. I have not let it overheat, but it does run hot. Im also noticing the transmission is sticking. The power sliding door has a mind of its own, sometimes works and sometimes not.

  So Far, So Good... - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Auntbetty - May 25 - 3:13 pm

  Weve had our Montana for 5 years and it had 60k miles when we bought it. Now it has 175k on it and seems to be doing ok. No major repairs and have avoided the head gasket issue. The intake manifold gaskets had been done before we bought it. Basically just routine maintenance (brakes, wheel bearings in front, tires). Its not as tight as a Honda or Toyota, but thats a given so dont expect it to be since youre paying thousands less for a comparable year. Fuel mileage is very good for a van (20-24mpg depending on season).

  Mini Van Seats For The Birds - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Big Dog - December 29 - 10:00 am

  The interior seats seem cheap. They are small and poorly made. It appears to be material over cardboard. I have less than 30k miles on an 01 and it seems to be a rattlebox. I should have bought a custom van for big comfort and good ride. Long trips create arm and leg pain???? Something is not placed correctly. I am 511" my wife 52" same for both.

  Concern about the Plastic - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By Pissed - December 18 - 5:20 pm

  My experience is more with the incredibly poor service I recieved from GM Canada. Basically I was accused of trying to claim on my extended warrenty for the cracking in the plastic between the useless storage container and the rear seat!
