  Best car I have ever owned. - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By Twins Plus One Mom - January 16 - 3:23 pm

  I love my Montana. I only wish that there were better cup holders in the front. This van has NEVER broken down in the 11 years I have owned it. I did have an issue with after market S-belt tensioners. One of the two is not right. I went through 3 belts and tensioners before my current machanic found the issue. We drove two cross country trips, and had a great time. I love the power sliding door! The rear cargo space. The sound system is still bursting ear drums. I wish I werent so envriomently involved. I need to get better EPA ratings. I am going to try to sell it in the next 3 to 6 months. I already have 3 people that want it. Love it. Love it.. LOVE THIS VAN. My kids are sad to say bye.

  I am a 30yrold momma with 3 boys age 3-13 and the van has withstood them wonderfully! However,I have had it in the shop for:Alternator 2x for a grounding recall,passenger mirror vibrates out 4 times,intake valve, broken cup holder,Seatbelt light broken,Seatbelt locking mech broken,cracked 3rd brake light, sliding door guts stuck,A/C-Heater Duct stuck in defrost position.BUT it was all under warranty,I have no complaints.GM has always given me 1st rate service!The sound system is great,Pontiac has always had a wonderful sound system!This is my 3rd Pontiac.My van is powerful and can outrun all other vans that have dared to race with me,my kids love this!

  Good Luck So Far - 2003 Pontiac Montana
  By Pontiac Owner - January 16 - 2:00 am

  We have had our van for over 1 year, it has 21,000 miles on it. We enjoy driving it on trips with the two kids and two dogs. Everyone has enough room. We have not experienced any mechanical or cosmetic problems. Just regular oil changes.

  I Came Back, Glad I Did!!! - 2005 Pontiac Montana
  By Roger - January 15 - 9:10 pm

  I had a 99 Montana. Loved it. But when the lease was up, I traded it for a Rendezvous. Big mistake. It was a long 3 years! Ive had my 2005 SV6 since March 1st. Its wonderful. It rides better, handles better, has fewer blind spots, than the Buick. Im so glad I came back to Pontiac.

  2000 Montana Blue - 2000 Pontiac Montana
  By RGP - January 6 - 10:00 am

  We are happy with the Montana - design & performance. The fit and finish is not as good. Comfort is good - though front passanger seat could have more basic adjustments. Power sliding door went out recently.

  any van would be better - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By dirtcooker - January 3 - 12:45 am

  so many repairs. wheel bearings, transmission, taillight assembly(twice), the CPU , traction control problems, oil pump, rack n pinion , axels all in the span of 40000 miles. this wear is not from carrying children or small livestock. i have been sincerely unhappy with this van

  Satisfied but could be better - 2002 Pontiac Montana
  By BigDogDad - December 24 - 2:00 am

  Pleased with the features,space,seating&comfort. Engine is just NOT powerful enough for the size of this van. Sluggish on accleration& VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. Rear a/c roars like a beast. Exterior paint job has flaws from factory(not a quality paint job) & front wiper system is just awful, because snow & ice accumulate but have nowhere to go, causing the wipers to freeze up in inclement weather. But overall despite the flaws, we are pleased that it offers enough space for our family, friends and gear, and has a comfortable ride.

  too many flaws - 2001 Pontiac Montana
  By jon - December 9 - 2:30 am

  This van was ok until 30,000 miles when the general self sealing tires were bald.Yes I rotated them every 6000 miles. The intake gasket had to be replaced at 31,000. The brakes were sticking on one side at 37,000. Airbag light came on at 40,000 and has been back twice for that. The battery had to be replaced at 47,000. Now the abs,traction control lights are coming on. GM needs to recall the intake gaskets everyone I know with a montana has had it replaced. I love gm trucks but this the last van GM will sell me.

  A GEM - 1999 Pontiac Montana
  By Stoney - November 22 - 6:26 am

  Bought my montana new in 1999. Wow what a Gem. Ive had no major mechanical issues at all other than doing schedule maintance and normal wear. As of today I have 166,000 miles on it and still no signs of major trouble. I will be looking to buy a used (2004) in the near future. I guess regular maintance and care pays off as with anything else.
