  Its comfortable and affordable!!! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By snjmilly@aol.com - November 25 - 10:00 am

  This is my first mini van and I absolutely love it. We have taken it on several long distance road trips and the comfort and accessibility to the second and third rows is wonderful. I dont know who enjoys driving it more, me or my husband! It is very comfortable.

  Wish I wouldve reviewed before buying lemon - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Sickofpayinmechanic - November 14 - 3:00 am

  Bought in May 05. June it left us stranded 6 hours from home on a Sunday! Back to dealership, couldnt diagnose till they drove it around for a week and got stranded themselves only to find a loose wiring harness in the fuel line. By December had a $700 tranny rebuilt, 3 sets of rotors, brakes every couple months, but only on one side? Front bearings. Oh yea then the gasket went for a price tag of $1000 (and still smells of antifreeze when warm). Rear door leaks through the interior light while raining! Cruise control just stopped working. Power windows are a joke! I know 5 different familys with these and I have the fewest probems with 152,000 miles and still shimmyin down the road!!

  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.

  Its a FamVan, what can you expect... - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By FamVan - October 16 - 4:06 pm

  I have been driving the 2002 Pontiac Montana for 4.5 years. I made the purchase after renting a Montana for a road trip from Colorado to Florida in 2001. It has been functional for my family and the kids have really enjoyed the MontanaVision.

  still like it after 75,000 miles - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By herbdoc - October 6 - 2:00 am

  Car is great all-purpose vehicle. Great flexiblity in seating, able to seat 8 and can fold up middle seats without removing them to give LOTS of legroom to my 6-foot tall boys! Gas mileage is good for a van, love the drivers side sliding door. Not many problems, either!

  We have found this van to have everything we were looking for. The front and rear heat and air adjustments are great. We are very happy with the comfort of all the adjustments over all.
